Agent View

Agent View offers view for agent statuses. With supervisors rights, it also enables changing agents’ queue and skill settings, and logging an agent on as an external agent. To launch the view, select Agent View from the navigation pane on the left. See also the Agents’ Active Contacts that is launched from the Agents button.

If the number of displayed queues is very large, the agent list displays only a limited number of agents. The number is limited because a large number of queues and agents results in a massive number of different combinations, and the web browser may not be able to handle such an amount of data. Agents are displayed in the alphabetical order. If the agent of your interest is not displayed, change search settings.
