The technical requirements say administrators can apply web page security so a Visual IVR script is not embedded in a frame where the user can be hijacked. The mechanism named is the X-Frame-Options header. The browser table in that PDF lists old versions and tells you to test others.

A visual script is still a script: prompts, branches, and a handoff. Framing is an extra threat. Do not treat a 2016-era browser row as the current support list. The PDF says to retest.

Glossary. Campaign: Inbound, outbound, or autodial. Blended is staffing language, not a fourth type. Inbound campaigns

Sister technologies. Verint. Named on the WEM page as a partnership. Not a synonym for native WEM. Workforce engagement management

Config. Write the header you expect and the browser you would actually test.

Troubleshooting. Web page security is off. Users report the page 'moved' under them. Set the option and confirm the header.

Cross-platform bridge. A mapping to another PBX or contact center is a teaching bridge. It is not an import button.

Future hook. The guide's cloud endpoint stays unset. Confirm before relying on a dated catalog or a case-study number.
