Overview

This guide introduces the different functions in the Agent Workspace Homepage window. It gives an overview of the platform’s home page with links to articles that provide deeper insight into each section.

This guide assumes you have Admin privileges. If you don’t see something described here on your screen, you are missing appropriate permission to view that feature. If you are an admin and you don’t see a particular feature on your screen, verify that your credentials are appropriate.

The initial screen that opens is the Conversation page. Click on a conversation to open a detailed screen with a customer pane that looks like this:

Personal Settings

Conversation List

The side pane lists relevant conversations produced by the different filters.

Hovering over a specific conversation reveals another menu.

At the top of the page, there are two filters related to the conversation list.

The three-dot menu is a viewing filter that hides (simple) or reveals (advanced) information about the conversation.

The filter on the other side of the conversation list can sort the conversations by priority, last update, or creation time. A downward arrow will show the most recent/ highest priority first, and an upward arrow will show the most recent/ highest priority last.

Click on the wording to select the sorting mechanism and on the arrow to turn its direction.
