Queue Call Metrics

In the lower part of the screen, there will be a breakdown of call metrics for the call queue. We recommend using 1Stream for more details on the call metrics.  queuemanagement4

Call Queue Management Permissions

In order to manage call queues in the web client, users must be set as a Queue Manager for the desired call queue under the Notification tab. Doing this will give the users access to control of other users in the queue in addition to view of the queue.

If a user is not added as Queue Manager, they will not have the control of other users or view of the queue unless they are added a queue agent, which gives them read visibility without the ability to modify other users in the queue, regardless of if they are logged into the queue or not. 

Want More Visibility? 

With a 1Stream Enterprise license, users can utilize the Supervisor Dashboard under the Statuses menu in the 1Stream Admin portal.
