Manual Call Answering
When a user calls in, the agent workstation will pop up a call answering prompt bar and a ringtone to notify the agent of the inbound call. The agent can click the green button to answer. The agent's status will change from idle to busy.
Note
A countdown will be displayed in the answering prompt bar. If the agent doesn't click Answer before the countdown ends, the call will be transferred to another agent in the same skill group.
Automatic Call Answering
If the administrator has enabled automatic answering, when a user calls in, the agent workstation automatically answers the call without popping up an answering prompt bar. The agent's status changes from idle to busy, and the call ends.
Hanging up After Answering a Call
When the agent finishes answering a call, the status changes from busy to after-call work, and a countdown starts. After the countdown ends, the agent will automatically go back to being idle.
Before the countdown ends, the agent can click SERVICE COMPLETED to become idle and continue reception or click Continue After-Call-Work to stay in that state.
Making Outbound Calls
The agent can click the Outbound Call button in the top left corner of the workstation, enter or paste the number to call, and click Dial to make the call.
