When does my script need to set an agent's status?

When designing scripts, it is helpful to know which statuses Dialer automatically assigns versus statuses that a custom script needs to explicitly assign. Dialer automatically put agents into the following statuses:

Status	Automatically assigned by Dialer when
Awaiting Callback	When an agent-owned scheduled callback or precisely dialed call is being placed for them.
Follow Up	When their current call disconnects before it is dispositioned.
Campaign Call	When the agent is assigned a Dialer call and receives the screen-pop.

A custom script should manually assign a status in the following scenarios:

Status	When to assign in a custom script
'Available'	When the agent completes a call and needs to go back available to receive another call. This is typically done on page load on the 'Waiting for call' page.
On a Break (or whatever non-ACD status a customer chooses)	Whenever a break is granted by Dialer.
