Agent Status
Agent Status is a user's availability to receive calls from call queues. Updating Agent Status will affect all call queues. To update the status of a specific call queue, please follow the steps for specific queue.
The best practice for accurate agent availability call center reporting is to make sure agents are choosing to manually change their status to "online" when they begin their shift and "offline" or "end shift" when they end their shift, rather than simply logging in & out of the portal or web soft phone.
