Not Ready Reasons Configuration

The Agent Dashboard enables agents to manually indicate when they are in the Ready state (i.e., available to handle calls) or the Not Ready state. If an agent switches to the Not Ready state, the Agent Dashboard allows the agent to select a predefined Not Ready reason. Supervisors use the Agent Dashboard Quality Management tab to view currently selected Not Ready reasons.

Refer to the Agent Dashboard User’s Guide for more information about the Agent Dashboard.
