Monitor Queues, Agents, Interactions, and Service Levels

To access the Monitor section, you must be an App Owner, App developer, App Tester, or Supervisor; or have the Monitor Console – permission set to Yes. See Role Management for more.

The Monitor tab lets you monitor live conversations between agents and customers and displays four views: Queues, Agents, Interactions, and Service Levels.

  1. The Queues section displays the conversation summary between agents and customers per queue. You only have access to the queues you are assigned to; and to the agents assigned to the same queues as you.
  2. The Agents section lets you view agent performance metrics and monitor agent-specific live conversations. Listed agents belong to the same queues you are also assigned to.
  3. The Interactions section displays all interactions currently live in Contact Center AI and assigned to agents on the console.
  4. The Service Levels section displays all service levels configured for voice and chat channels.

    Note

    Your Monitor access is restricted to the Queues that you are assigned to.

Queues

In this section, you can see all the queues to which you are assigned. The number of conversations waiting to be picked up, the number of already engaged conversations, and a summary of agents assigned to a particular queue along with their current status.

Auto Refresh When Filters are Applied

When a supervisor applies a filter, the page automatically refreshes at fixed intervals to maintain real-time data accuracy. For example, any changes in the status of agents are reflected after the auto-refresh, ensuring the data is up-to-date.

When filters are applied, the page refreshes every 5 seconds to update any changes in the data.
Auto Refresh

A confirmation is displayed once the refresh is completed and the updated data is shown.

Listen and Whisper [Voice Calls]

Listen and Whisper functionalities enhance supervisors’ oversight and support capabilities in real-time voice conversations.

Listen: This allows supervisors to discreetly monitor live voice conversations between agents and customers. By enabling this feature, supervisors can stay informed about ongoing interactions without participating directly, ensuring they are always aware of the dialogue and can step in if necessary.

Whisper: This functionality provides a means for supervisors to give real-time guidance to agents without the customer hearing the communication. Supervisors can use the whisper functionality to offer immediate support or corrective instructions, enhancing the agent’s performance and the overall quality of customer interaction.

Steps to Listen and Whisper Voice Conversations:

  1. Go to MONITOR > AGENTS > Click the conversation that you want to Listen to & Whisper.
    Voice Conversation
