To edit an agent, click on the Edit icon to the right of their name. The following screen will pop-up.
Adding/Editing Agents in Call Queues
Fields | Description |
Agent Phone | Select a phone of the agent that you want to add to the queue. |
Status | Select whether the agent is ready to take calls (Online) or not active (Offline). |
Wrap up Time | Use the slider to specify the amount of time the agent is allocated to complete paperwork after finishing a call and before a new call is dispatched. |
Max Simultaneous Calls | Use the slider to specify the maximum number of calls an agent can take at one time. This will almost always be 1. |
Order in Linear Hunt | Sets the dispatch order. If a call is dispatching, it will go to the available agent with the lowest order. |
Queue Priority for Agent | Sets weighting for an agent that is servicing multiple queues. If you have an agent servicing two queues and both queues have a person waiting, the agent will get the call from the queue whose priority is highest (lowest number). |
Request Confirmation | Enables or disables request confirmation. Choices are: Checked – Requires the agent to confirm receiving the call. Not Checked – Agent does not confirm the call. |
Auto Answer | Enables or disables auto-answer. Choices are: Checked – agent phone answers automatically (not all phones support this feature). Not checked – agent phone does not answer automatically. |
When you have completed making your changes, click the Save Agent button. The color-coded status of the new agent is displayed.
