    AGENT STATUS

    The Agent Status report provides the information on agent log=in and log-out statuses. There are currently three ways to log in or out an agent to the Queue:

    • Via CommUnity

      • Logging in via HUDweb is listed as “AGENTLOGIN”

      • Logging out via HUDweb displays the reason for an agent log-out, such as “shift over”, or “on a break.” You can define logout reasons in the Manage Queues page

    • Via the Admin Panel, on the Real-Time Monitor

      • When agent is logged into the Queue, via the Admin Panel the “AGENTLOGIN” status is displayed

      • A manager or supervisor can log users in and out on this page (a reason must also be selected when logging out an agent)

      • When a supervisor sets an agent to permanent “AGENTLOGIN” is displayed and “permanent” is listed as the reason

    image-20240229-130945.pngImage Removedimage-20240720-115315.pngImage Added
    • Via a phone/device. Agents can log in and out of the Queue by phone with the following codes:

    *1 Use the current extension assigned to the phone to log into the Queue. For example, if the phone shows extension 7000, and we dial *1, 7000 will be used as the “agent” extension number, which (when enabled) will prompt the agent for their Queue password.

    *3 Use the current extension assigned to the phone to log off from the Queue For example, if the phone displays extension 7000, and we dial *3, extension 7000 will be used to log off from the Queue.

    *54 Log in with a prompt to enter the extension number.. Allows a queue agent, to use any phone to log into the queue with their own extension number.

    *56 Log out with a prompt to enter the extension number. This log out method, will prompt the agent for the extension number to log out.

    NOTE

    When a phone (desk phone or softphone), the agent status report will indicate whether the user logged in or out using the phone. Also note that using phones to log in or out of Queues logs users in and out from all Queues the users belong to. Using HUDweb or the Admin Panel enables login/logout by Queue..

    AUDIT LOG

    The Audit Log provides administrators with a detailed history of changes performed on the system—from updating/modifying a user (on an administrative level) or a user setting up his/her ring device and/or Find Me Follow Me settings.

    The Audit Log is useful when a feature/call route isn’t functioning as expected, allowing you to determine and reverse changes. This ability can be particularly helpful when you have a very complex Inbound Call Routing and need to determine which menus or sequences were changed.

    Using the Audit Log can augment ongoing training for Admins or users as well. When problems are identified and reversed, the log provides the ability to identify the Admin/ user and provide him/her with information on how their changes affected the system.
