Agents' Active Contacts

To open the Agents' Active Contacts view, click the Agents button in the toolbar. You need the contact summary right to the agents you want to view.

In this view, you can:

  • View agents and their active contacts.

    The number of simultaneous active chat contacts depends on the System Configurator settings User/User Template > Contact Settings > Maximum Number of Chat Sessions and Queues > Contact Management > Busy During Wrap-Up.

  • View a contact’s details by clicking the Row number of the contact. Clickable row numbers only appear for active contacts so select Show Only Agents with Active Contacts if necessary.

  • Start supervising an agent by clicking the agent’s name in the view. You must have supervising rights, and the CDT must be open. For more information, see Supervising.

Searching and Filtering Displayed Agents

The number of agents displayed in the view can be set in the Tools > Settings > UI Settings > Max Number of Displayed Agents, see User Interface Settings. If the number of displayed agents is very small, make sure you filter and sort the agents in appropriate way so that you see the agents you are really interested in.

To search and filter the displayed contact information, use the following settings:

  • Group: Select a reporting group you want to view, or All to view all groups.

  • Presence: To view agents with a certain profile, select the profile of all profiles in the system. Added in SP08: The default Presence value can be defined in System Configurator Reporting > Statistic Settings > Monitoring Settings.

  • Sort Agents by: Display agents in the alphabetical order of their names, or chronological order of their status time stamps. To sort them in descending order, select the Descending checkbox, and for ascending order, remove the selection.

  • Show Pending E-Mails: With this option, pending e-mails are included in the displayed contacts.

  • Show Only Agents with Active Contacts: With this option, only the agents that have currently active contacts are displayed in the agent list.

  • Auto Refresh: With this option, the view is updated automatically as often as set in the option Tools > Settings > UI Settings > Refresh Interval in seconds, see User Interface Settings. If this option is not selected, click Update to update the view manually.
