Agent Assistance dialog

The Agent Assistance dialog manages assistance requests in one place. It displays assistance requests from agents in workgroups that the supervisor is responsible for, along with the name of the agent, interaction details, problem description, and if it is being answered.

This dialog is displayed when a supervisor selects View Assistant Requests from the Tools menu. It also appears when a supervisor responds to an assistance request toast notification, by clicking the Manage Assistance Requests link.

Group By

When multiple requests are in queue, this drop list organizes items by Workgroup or by Responses.  When organized by Workgroup, requests from the same workgroup appear share expander.

When grouped by Responses, the expander organizes request by the number of responses. In the example below, there are two requests when a supervisor has not responded to.
