The Status bar (DESKTOP)

Note:

The Status bar is only visible to employees with associated multimedia agents. For example, supervisors without an associated voice, email, chat, or SMS agent do not see the Status bar in Ignite.

Ignite’s Status bar displays the employee’s overriding state, including

An overriding state is one that ‘trumps’ another state, as represented by the list above. States higher in the list override the states appearing lower in the list. Note that all of the employee’s agents are considered when the system calculates overriding state.

For example, if an employee’s Chat agent is Idle, but their Email agent is ACD, the Status bar displays ACD. In this example, ACD is the overriding state. If the employee’s Chat agent is in Work Timer, and their Email agent is in Make Busy, the Status bar displays Work Timer until Work Timer expires or is removed. In this example, Work Timer is the overriding state.

The oldest time for a state ‘trumps’ other times for the same state if an agent is handling multiple interactions. For example, if an employee had two emails in ACD, the displayed value in the status bar would be the time of the oldest email. When the oldest email is completed, the displayed value in the status bar would switch to the other email’s Time in ACD.

Ignite’s Status bar also contains statistics on agent performance, offering agents quick access to their current handling statistics across media types. Icons indicate the media type to which the following statistics pertain.

Agents access their handling statistics by clicking the ^ button on the right-hand side of the Status bar. (See the following figure.)

The color of the multimedia icons in the Status bar indicates the agent’s state.

The following figure displays agent handling statistics in Ignite.
