  • 1.  witch to 'Break' status in the middle of a call

    Hello,

    Some agents managed to switch to 'Break' status in the middle of a call.
    Is there a way to restrict agents from changing their status to break during an active interaction?

    Thank you

    Hello Rihab,

    I don't know if there is a way to restrict that from happening. I believe that is working as designed so that an agent can switch their status to Break as the interaction they are working on is wrapping up so that they are not automatically assigned another interaction once that one has concluded.

    Hi Rihab,

    There is no method to prevent agents from managing their status regardless of their present status, but this is a great idea as I believe that preventing which status can be picked when will significantly reduce agent errors.  Of course, that is training to lead people away from this behavior, but as you know, end users might make mistakes unintentionally.  So perhaps you might create this idea on the AHA! portal.

    Here is an idea https://genesyscloud.ideas.aha.io/ideas/DIG-I-347 thats currently under planning where we are looking to introduce a new status. If an agent is actively working on interactions and they choose an off queue status like a 'Break', we will put this agent in a 'Requesting Off Queue' status. No new interactions will be routed to this agent and the agent automatically goes into 'Break' once all the active interactions are completed.

    @Sabyasachi Pradhan thank you for sharing this message here! It means a lot for our users to know that there is work ongoing towards resolving this issue. We have major issues in planning and forecating, as well as billing due to corrupt data from presence statuses. Looking forward to any news, researches, beta and whatever we as users can support your product team with :)

    @Sabyasachi Pradhan is something similar already in place? We use a 3rd party scheduling suite with RTA capabilities, and it is seeing routing status changes to IDLE through whatever topics they're subscribed to as the agents put themselves in Break, Meeting, Training, etc. For example, we'll get a Meeting-IDLE event if they switch themselves into Meeting while on a call. 

    Is that part of this development, or is this BAU behavior every time an offline status is selected initially?

    Not yet. But eventually once the idea moves into progress one would expect the event to have the status as "On-Queue" with a new secondary status as "Requesting Off Queue". Only when the active interaction is done, will a new event be triggered with the status Break or Meeting or Training.

    Thanks. Do you know if getting an Off Queue presence with an Idle routing status normal when the agents enter these statuses while on a call today/is that the only time we would see that?

    I don't think that would be normal. Idle should only be when the agent is waiting for an interaction. In your case, if they are still interacting - their routing status should be interacting. I would suggest going the support route to get some eyes on what you are seeing.
