Agent Status

Agents using the CTM softphone can set their Agent status to reflect their daily activity. This is great for managers who need to track overall agent activity or for team communication to see who's ready or not ready at any given time. By default, Agents can select from "Ready" and "Not Ready" statuses in their softphone. However, you can create up to 32 custom status options.

Creating Agent Statuses

1. Navigate to Settings > Account Settings.
2. Click or scroll down to Agent Settings.
3. In the Agent Statuses field, type each new status and press Enter. You may have up to eight custom Agent statuses in your account.
4. Click Save Changes.

Setting Your Status: 

Once custom statuses are configured in your account, agents can set their status from the softphone window.

1. Launch the softphone by clicking Desk Mode or the Phone button in your call log.
2. Click the set your status drop-down and choose from the list of available statuses.
3. You can remove your custom status by choosing another status from the drop-down.

Tracking Agent Statuses:

From a reporting perspective,  all accounts have four default statuses listed below, and any custom statuses created.

• Offline: agent logs out or closes the softphone
• Online: agent has the softphone open and in "accepting calls" mode
• Inbound Call: agent is on a live inbound call
• Outbound Call: agent is on a live outbound call

Note: When an agent receives a call, their status will go from Ready > Dialing > Not Ready > Ringing, allowing the agent to receive the call. 

To get an overview of agent statuses and activity throughout the day, check the agent activity section in your real-time agents report.
