Contact Center
Overview
If you have a Supervisor role, you will need to know the Agent functions to perform several tasks. With Supervisor status, you can check statistics of a call, manage calls, check team data, and monitor your team's calls. You can also select a team from a list of teams assigned to you and view their current state, time in state, and extension.
Overview
Anyone in a Supervisor role can request the ability to manage their team’s Business Hours, Custom Business Days, and Holidays.
This is a special feature and requires a billable order to be placed on the Service Request System. For assistance in using this tool, contact the ITS Telecommunications Analysts.
