Changing the agent work status

You can set the agent status to Ready or Auxiliary modes. The Ready state indicates that you are available for ACD calls and the Auxiliary state indicates that you are not available for ACD calls.

Always refer to the agent status (on the top bar) to monitor your work status so that you are available for ACD calls. The ACD server routes calls to your extensions only if you have set the agent status to Ready and closed all work items to get a new ACD call. If you have set the agent status to Auxiliary, or Logged Out modes, the ACD server will not send any ACD calls to your extension until you change your status back to Ready.

You can control your status and your availability for accepting ACD calls. For example, if you want to leave your station for lunch or if you need time after a recently concluded call, you can make yourself temporarily unavailable for the new ACD calls.

Perform any one of the following actions:

The option to configure the default agent status to Auto-Ready or Manual-Ready is available in the Work Handling panel.
