Supervisor Functions

Add a Skill to an Agent

Although the agents of any particular Call Center must be included in the original programming of the Call Center, the supervisor must ensure that each agent has been assigned an appropriate "Skill" designation. The skill addition process can be initiated through the use of a button or a code.

Recording the Busy Announcement

Because the initial announcement that callers hear when placed in the waiting queue is personalized to each Call Center, the supervisor will want to be able to record, listen to and verify the accuracy of the announcement. This function allows him/her to do so without actually having to enter the waiting queue. The verification process can be initiated by performing the following steps:
