Manage Queue Agents

When there are agents signed into a queue, click the number in the Agents column to view more information.

The Manage Queue Agents page opens in a separate tab sorted in alphabetical order by first name.

Find the following elements within the page.

Top of the Page

Use these to manage the agents within the queue.

     a. Queue: The name of the queue. Click to change to a different queue and see the agents signed into that queue, and then click Refresh to update the page.

     b. Add Agents to Queue: Click to add more agents to the selected queue.
         From the Add Agents to Queue dialog box that appears, click to select the agents, and then click OK.
         Notes:
                     * Only the agents signed on to the Admin Portal and not signed into the selected queue appear in this list.
                     * If your role does not authorize you to add agents, no agent will appear in this list, and you will see an error message instead.
                     * Queue assignment is not persistent. When an agent you have added to the selected queue signs out of Admin Portal, they will be assigned to their original queue or skill the next time they sign into the portal.
