Overview of the Offsite Agent desktop application

Only appropriate controls are displayed on work items. Voice-related controls are displayed only on a voice work item. IM related controls are displayed only on an IM work item.

Action bar

The Action bar contains global controls to create a new work item, to search contacts, and to open secondary windows. The Action bar stays at the bottom of the Agent Desktop window and remains at the bottom as the window expands.

Example of an Action bar layout

Use the Action bar at the bottom of the main interface to make new contacts. New voice, IM, or e-mail contacts are collectively called new work in the Work Item Paradigm.
