- Unavailable — Agent is logged in but not accepting new queries.
Adding a New Status

Open the Agent Status tab and select Add New Status.
2

Enter a clear name for the new status (e.g., Break, In Training, On Call).
3

Best Practices
- Keep statuses simple and descriptive (e.g., “Lunch Break” vs. just “Unavailable”).
- Use non-available statuses for internal tracking (e.g., “Training” or “Meeting”).
- Standardize across teams to avoid confusion when monitoring queues.
Statuses can be used in analytics and assignment logic to better understand agent workload and availability.
