Drag and drop in V12?

[805tech]

Did this feature go away? In the presence screen when a call comes in I try to drag and drop it to a extension does not work. Did this feature go away?

In the current version of 3CX Fullscreen Presence, yes, drag & drop is missing. I too hope that it comes back though

I end up right-clicking the call in the list and using Transfer. A bit more klunky.. but then again I don't ever miss the drop onto the wrong extension.

Wow, just upgraded our office to V12 and I am not believing that drag and drop is gone. This is the single most important feature, bar none, for us. I am dreading Monday morning, when I have to explain to everyone that the upgrade is actually a serious downgrade. I don't mean to diminish the seemingly wonderful things that V12 brings but the absence of drag and drop is a serious shortcoming that fundamentally changes how we have been interacting with 3CX to date. Is this a technical shortcoming to be remedied soon or is it no longer a feature offered by 3CXPhone?

I now see that the new 3cxphone for Windows also can't be brought to the front for incoming calls. Oh my, this is bad news on top of the absence of drag and drop.

I think that it's fair to assume that customers expect a minimum of feature parity with upgrades. In absence of parity, a clear document outlining the removal or deprecation of features would be appreciated.

3CX has been so wonderful that I hadn't even visited these forums until today. Apologies that my first posts are critical in nature. We do love the platform and I am sure that there's lots to love in V12. For now, though, I am going to revert to V11 to get back the functionality of 3CXMyphone that we have come to expect.

Best,

Shane

I called 3CX and there tech told me that he heard they are going to look into it. So hopefully they will bring that feature back.

 

[williamsonchong]

Sounds good. Thankfully, downgrading to v11 was a snap. I'll keep following this thread and hope that drag and drop make a return to 3CXMyPhone soon.

Any chance do you have anymore info on this subject? Are they going to bring this back for sure?

Thank you

Firstly I love 3cx, but have to say I am very underwhelmed with the replacement for myphone. Myphone was good clean looking simple web app that could be easily sized and easy for anyone to use. The new 3cx phone is a bit ugly IMO, clunky and not really nice to use, missing drag and drop and I dread have to explain to someone how to customize the windows to a custom view, when I found it a little difficult myself. I think the cleaner look and simplicity of myphone was much better than this new version.

Otherwise version 12 3cx phone for andriod looks to be better, but I cant see an exit button in there, and have to crash the app to get rid of it.

I would like to know if I purchse a new license for version 12, can I install 11, and have the option of going to 12 when it has a bit more polish?

Thanks in advance

I have clients still running v8.. for "non-technical" reasons, if you will..
They have upgrade insurance which is still current.
We took another v8 client through v11 just recently.
Should be fine.

@bull_tpk

What you would need to do is purchase the license from a 3CX partner and then ask that partner to have 3CX generate a v11 key for you. Then when you are ready to go to v12 you would have them generate a v12 key. I'd be happy to assist should you want to go that route.

I've upgraded to SP2, and drag and drop does not appear to be working for me. I did make sure that 3CX Phone installed new components on startup after I updated the server. Right-clicking on active calls in presence window doesn't give any options, either.

@infonetics
I had same problem at first and I noticed I did not have the permission set. In your Extension group rights make sure you have perform operations (divert,transfer,take) on any active call to group members

It (the absence of local menu) means that you have rights to see the call but you don't have any rights to control it.
Do you expect that drag and drop operation will allow to bypass the rule?

 

[infonetics]

No, I wasn't expecting it to bypass the rule, I had overlooked it and thus wasn't aware of its existence. It is working fine now. Unfortunate that it took 2 service packs to re-enable this basic function that was in MyPhone - it feels like 3CX rushed to get V12 to market without making sure it was really complete. Kind of like Microsoft and Windows 8.
