Agent Information

The following information is provided for each displayed agent:
- Name – This is the agent’s name.
- Call Centers (total) – This is the total number of Call Centers to which the agent is assigned. This number is a link, which when clicked, opens a dialog box that lists the agent’s queues.

- Call State (Time) – This is the call state and time on the current call. The call state can be Idle, Ringing, or On a call. If an agent is in multiple calls, the call time reflects the time of the longest running call. When a call is released, then the call time reflects the time on the remaining calls.
- Agent State (Time) – This is the agent ACD state and time. If an agent is unavailable, the unavailable code is shown.
