Monitoring Agents Part of the Queue

Updated 

Unified Routing provides the capability to supervisors for monitoring the activity of agents assigned to the work queue. This is done by simply clicking on the Monitor Queue button in the Queue Name column.

This will open a new screen showing all the agents assigned to the Work Queue in a tabular format with the associated metrics. The Queue summary, Agent Status and Agent State Summary is provided at the top. This gives an complete glance to the supervisor about the agent persormance and current activity.


Aggregate View

​For a selected queue, the summary of queue metrics, agent status and agent states are provided on the top.

Queue Summary - The assignment metrics are shown within the Queue Summary widget. Example -

  • Customer Waiting

  • Call Abandon %

  • SLA %

  • Oldest Customer Waiting Time

  • Average Wait Time

Additionally, you have the option to improve visibility in the Queue Summary card by including color-coded metrics through the implementation of color tagging.

When creating color tagging, ensure that the Module type is set to Queues Monitoring.

Agent Status - Shows the aggregate summary of the agent's availability status, such as Available, Unavailable, Lunch, Tea break, Connection issue, etc. This value comes based on the defined values of the User Availability Status Custom Field.

Agent State - Shows the aggregate summary of agents' current states such as On Outbound Call, On Inbound Call, Call Ringing, Idle, Working on a Case, etc. It helps you understand the live activity performed by the agent.

Clicking the desired status will show the corresponding states in the state widget and the table will be filtered based on the selection. Further, on clicking the state, an additional filter will be applied which will show data based on the selection of agent status and state. This helps the supervisors to effectively monitor the team members with just one click.

Detail VIew

Supervisors have the option to monitor at an individual agent level. The agent's current state is located in front of the agent name. It helps Supervisors to understand the live activity performed by the agent. These columns can also be plotted via the Manage Columns tab. The name of the columns is User Current State and Agent Time in Current State.

Following are the agent states that are shown along with the timer to monitor live agent activities:

On Outbound Call - Agent on an outbound call

On Inbound Call - Agent on an inbound call

Call Ringing - Call is ringing

On ACW - Agent filling ACW

Working on a Case - Agent working on a social case

Call on Hold - Customer call on hold

​​

Idle - Agent idle

In the idle state, a user can be inactive, unavailable, on lunch, on break, etc. Hence, to change the 'idle' state to 'not available', please work with your Success Manager.

Case/Call Actions

When you click user current state such as on-call, the case number will pop up on a case as shown below.

The pop-up will show the case number on which the agent is working. After clicking on this case number, a third pane view will appear showing the detailed view of that case.

Third pane view of current working case

The third pane of the current working case consists of tabs like Case, Properties, Collaborate, Tasks, Historical Cases, Smart Assist, etc. From here Supervisor can see the conversation, collaborate with agent to give guidance and can see case properties like channel, custom priority, customer sentiment and other critical case related metrics.

The users must have the respective Call Controls permissions to use the following capabilities.

Listen

Listen helps the supervisor to get the contextual clarity about the conversation between the agent and the customer. Listening on a call means that neither the agent nor the customer is aware of the supervisor listening in on the call. Listening in a non-voice case means opening the case conversation view and from there, the supervisor can add notes (whisper) or barge in (reply).

Whisper

For Voice - When an agent is on a call, the supervisor can whisper to the agent. Whispering entails speaking to the agent where only the agent can hear that and not the customer. The supervisor can give suggestions while listening to the call or the supervisor can whisper without listening to the call and let the agent know about something that is not related to the current call, like “You are lagging behind your quota for today”.

For Digital - Whispering in digital is the same as adding notes in case collaboration widget.

​​

Barge In

The supervisor can directly barge in on a call, which means that the supervisor joins the “conference call” with the customer and the agent. Supervisor does this action to take control of the conversation when the agent is not able to clarify the customer query.

Continuous Listening - The Continuous Listening feature enables supervisors to to maintain uninterrupted monitoring of calls made by agents, even in the event of a call disconnection. When an agent is not actively engaged in a call, the supervisor remains in a muted state, alone on the call. The advantage of Continuous Listening is that supervisors do not need to restart the listening process if a call is disconnected; they can seamlessly maintain supervision without any need for manual intervention to resume monitoring. To enable this capability, please raise a support ticket by contacting tickets@sprinklr.com.

Click the arrow icon on the minimized call window to open the case conversation view. From there, the supervisor can add notes (whisper) or barge in (reply).
