About supervising queues in ViewPoint ______________________

This appendix describes the process of supervising a Strata CS call center queue. For complete
instructions on setting up and managing a Strata CS call center, see the Strata CS Call Center
Administrator Guide.
You can assign agents any number of queue permissions that give them the ability to supervise
a queue. Supervisors are merely agents with extra permissions. Supervisory tasks include the
following:
Configuring the queue in the Administrator, including the agents that belong to it
!
Signing agents in or out for the queue
!
Viewing real-time queue statistics in the Strata CS ViewPoint
!
Changing an agent's personal status
!
Managing a queue's voice mailbox
!
Supervising agent conversations by monitoring or coaching
!
You assign permissions separately for each queue. To give an agent supervisor permissions in
more than one queue, you must edit the agent separately in each queue.
For instructions on adding agents to a queue and setting their permission levels, see the Strata
CS Call Center Administrator Guide.

Exempting supervisors from receiving queue calls

Because supervisors are agents in the queue, by default they receive queue calls when they are
ready, just as other agents do. To exempt an agent from receiving calls from a queue, sign the
agent out for that queue, or configure the agent as an Observer using the Strata CS Administrator
(see the Strata CS Call Center Administrator Guide).
When supervisors are signed out from a queue, the queue does not send calls to them. However,
supervisors can watch queue calls in the Call Monitor folder and answer them if necessary using
the
Take call
when they are signed out.
For instructions on signing a supervisor out, see "Signing agents in or out of a queue" on
page C-18.
