Agents tab: observation and coaching

You may observe engagements in real time and chat in real time to coach the agent as they are managing chats. This is similar to the Chat to Agents feature.

To launch a real-time observation session:

  1. Navigate to the Agents tab and click a row to expand the selected agent's list of active engagements.

  2. Select an engagement to view live. The engagement transcript will display in a new window to the right and will update in real time as the chat progresses.

  3. You may close the Observation window by clicking the X at the top right of the chat window.

Just like with the Active tab, the engagement transcript window also allows supervisors to internally communicate with the agent handling the engagement.

Agents tab: Agent forced logout

You can select a specific agent from the Agents tab and forcibly log them out of Agent Desktop. But you cannot log out an agent that has an active engagement.

Note: This option is only available in the Agents tab.

  1. Navigate to the Agents tab and select the agent you would like to log out.

  2. Click the button to the left of the Agent ID.

  3. Click Log Out when confirmation dialog opens.

If you attempt to log out an agent that has an active engagement, the system will prevent the action and display the following message: "Agents with active chats cannot be logged out".
