Agent Desktop User Interface

Work item paradigm

The main Agent Desktop user interface is based on a work item paradigm. Each agent-to-customer interaction is a work item. Work items appear on the Agent Desktop work list. If you perform another interaction associated with that work item (for example, an IM consultation with an expert), then that interaction is displayed as part of the original work item.

The work list consists of work items and control buttons corresponding to the work item. The controls and functions change depending on the work list window behavior. When a new contact arrives, Agent Desktop adds the new contact as a work item to the work list.

Top bar

The Top bar appears at the top of the Agent Desktop window. The Top bar provides the system status and main controls to operate Agent Desktop.

Example of Top bar layout

The agent status icon appears on the top left corner of the Agent Desktop Top bar. It shows the agent status, agent name, agent login ID, and agent dialable number.

The Top bar has the following icons:
