The Switchboard

The Switchboard is a graphical display of what’s happening on Switchvox. It can show your own calls, your coworkers’ calls, call-queue activity, and your parking lot. You can drag and drop to transfer calls, and one click lets you make a call, pick up calls, record or monitor calls, log in and out of call queues, and more. Formerly called Panels, these features are now inserted into the Switchboard as Switchboard Widgets. You can also integrate other web applications, such as Google Maps, with your call activity. You can build more web applications using Switchboard Custom Widgets tool.From the Admin web tool suite, go to SETUP > EXTENSIONS > MANAGE and click the Login as this User icon for the extension you wish to work with; or use the Bulk-Modify Extensions Button and click Switchboard Layouts to a group of extensions.
