Glance Company Settings

At the top of Glance Company Settings are the main settings for the package. It also includes some options to configure single sign-on, and which Glance buttons you want available to your agents.

There are five sections on the Glance Company Settings tab:

  3. Under the Settings section, complete the following steps:

  4. For Default Glance Admin, choose which Salesforce user is an admin for your company’s Glance account.

  5. For VisualForce Base URL, enter the Visual Force Domain. You can find this value through the following instructions:

    1. Go to Setup (gear icon) > VisualForce Pages.
    2. Search for ‘Glance’.

    NOTE: There are a few glance-related VisualForce pages, so make sure you select the one called simply ‘Glance'.

    The profiles menu.

    NOTE: Salesforce enhanced domain changes can take up to 24 hours to take effect. Due to this timing, Glance recommends that you enable Enhanced Domains in your Salesforce organization first, then configure and test Glance domain changes over the weekend, or during non-critical business hours.

  6. For Lightning Base URL, only complete this step if you added the VisualForce Base URL above and received the following error message when running Glance Sessions: "Error: Glance Has Not Fully Loaded. Ensure that Lightning Domain is added to the whitelisted domains".

    1. Locate the Lightning Domain URL by going to a case/contact.
    2. Copy and paste this value into the Lightning Base URL field.
  7. For Create Leads for Session Guests, choose how you want leads created. These options only apply to screen share sessions:

    • Never: This option does not create any new Leads for session guests.
    • Who Provide a New Email: This option creates a new Lead for any guest who provides an email address when joining. A new Lead will only be created if there is no existing Lead with that same email address.
    • Who Provide a New Email and Name: This option creates a new Lead for any guest who provides both an email address and name.
  8. For Log Sessions Started Outside of Salesforce, Select this option if your team is using the Glance client to join / start a session.

  9. For Open Glance Session Records, select this option if you want the user to immediately capture notes in Salesforce during their session or relate the session to other records.

  10. For Sync Frequency, choose how often updates occur: Hourly, Every 2 hours, Daily, or Never. Synchronization happens relative to the time you first installed the Glance for Salesforce package.

    • For example, If you install the package at 1:14 p.m. and you synchronize every hour, synchronizations will occur at 2:14 p.m., 3:14 p.m. and so on.
    • You may run synchronization jobs manually from the Glance Sync History page, which is located on the Glance for Salesforce navigation bar.
    • Select the tab, click the Sync Now button, and click Refresh. Next Sync displays the date and time of the next scheduled sync.
  11. For Chatter When Starting Glance Session, select this option if you want started or joined Glance sessions posted into the Chatter feed of anyone following that record. The automatic notification includes a link to the session that Chatter users can click to join from any desktop, tablet, or mobile device.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Starting in package version 3.13 or later, Glance supports using SAML in addition to the existing login key method for SSO authentication.

NOTE: SAML SSO is not supported for SHOW and VIEW sessions.

The preferred and most secure way for authentication is through SAML. To enable SSO in Glance for Salesforce:

  1. If using SAML, then:

    • Configure your Glance group to use SAML. More information on setting up a SAML sign-on is available here.
    • If using presence, you will need to create a least-privileged agent account within the group on glance.net. From within the Account Management area of glance.net, create a user account with a PUID but no other Glance permissions. This will be your Non-Admin Partner User ID - see below.
  2. Obtain a glance API key. Navigate to https://www.glance.net/Login.asp and log in to your Glance account.

  3. Go to the Settings tab and scroll to the API Key section at the bottom of the page.

  4. Copy your API key. The profiles menu.

  5. From the Salesforce app, click the Glance Company Settings tab at the top.

  6. Click Edit.

  7. Scroll to the Single Sign On section.

  8. For SSO, select SAML 2.0 or Login Key from the drop-down menu.

  9. For Partner User ID Field, choose a value from the drop-down. The PUID must be available on the User object in Salesforce, must be unique to each user, and must match the value in the PUID field for the user's account within the Glance system (see the PartnerUID field here). It is also common to use a value in the user's FederationID field.

  10. If you selected SAML 2.0 for your SSO mechanism, enter the Non-Admin Partner User ID mentioned above in the text field.

  11. For API Key, enter your API Key you obtained earlier from your Glance account. The profiles menu.

  12. For SSO Login Expiration, choose how frequently you want the login key to expire. The default is 3,600 seconds, which is one hour.

  13. Scroll to the top and click Save.

If you are unable to use SAML or Login Key for SSO, every user must sign in with their Glance address and password from the Glance User Settings page. This can be found at the top of the Glance for Salesforce application next to Glance Company Settings. If you are using Cobrowse without any client software, your agents will also need to keep a browser tab open and stay signed into their Glance account. We have a page for this that can be found at www.glance.net/account/accountkeepalive.aspx.

Presence

From the Presence Settings section, you can enable Presence within Salesforce so that the Join button lights up when your customer is present on your website. When the button lights up, the agent can connect with the customer with one click. For more information, see 1-Click Connect Requirements.

  1. From the Salesforce app, click the Glance Company Settings tab at the top.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. Scroll to the Presence section.
  4. Select Enable Presence.

    7. For Auto Join, select this option if you want users to automatically connect to any in-progress Glance session when they load the record in Salesforce.

Profile Settings

The section describes how to configure and enable Profiles to use Glance.

If you are provisioning users for the first time, go to the Granting User Access section. If you are provisioning additional users or modifying existing user settings, go to the Add Permission Sets section.

Granting User Access

To enable Glance for your users, you need to:

  1. Modify Profile Settings to grant profiles access to Glance buttons.
  2. Add permission sets to users that you want to grant access.

Modify Profile Settings

    3. Under Join In, choose whether Users with that Profile will join sessions in a Browser Tab or in the Glance Client. Joining sessions in the Glance Client requires Users to have the client installed. If the User is working from Chrome or Firefox, they will also need the Glance browser extension. See Glance Buttons above for details on button functions.

      • No Video: Agents have no video experience

Note: your group must be provisioned with access to start mobile video sessions, and you cannot choose both video options. If you want access to these features, Contact Glance.

    • Under Video (SMS), choose this option if you want to enable users to send visitors an SMS invitation to show the agent their camera. Then under Mobile Video choose a default camera for the visitor.
