Queue Widget Groups

group-menu-labeled.png

Queue widget groups allow users to link several queue widgets together so they can synchronize their currently selected queue. This means that if two queue widgets are assigned to the same group and the user selects a queue in one widget the other widget's selected queue will also change. This feature can be used to create your own layout of the queue sections by breaking them into separate queue widgets while only having to select the desired queue in one of the widgets. There is no limit to how many widgets can be linked to a group.

Users can manage the queue widget groups along with which group the widget is linked to via the group dropdown menu in the top right hand corner of the widget.

  1. Opens the menu that allows management of the queue widget groups as well as selection of the assigned group for the widget.
  2. The name of the group.
  3. Creates a new group.
  4. Renames the currently selected group.
  5. Removes the group.

Drag And Drop

Specific sections in the queue widget are drag and drop enabled.

Drag

  • Users can drag calls from the agents section to steal calls away from agents.

  • Users can drag calls from the calls section to transfer the call away from the queue to another location.

    Dragging a call away from the queue will mark that call as Abandoned even if you drop it on an agent in the queue.

Drop

  • Users can drop calls on the queue list or the calls section to transfer the call to the queue.
  • Users can drop calls on agents in the agent section to transfer the call to the agent's extension.
  • Users can drop calls on the agent's voicemail box icon to transfer the call to the agent's extension voicemail box.

Queue Alarms

The system administrator can configure Queue Alarms for users. If the user is part of a Queue Alarms Configuration and that configuration is associated with a queue that users has access to, a visual hint will be displayed (screenshot2) when one of its alarms triggers. Optionally in addition to the visual hint a notification may be configured. Please see the administration documentation for a full list of alert types.
