Agent Status Management

This feature lets you display various statuses of an Agent – such as available, offline, busy, or away – along with a brief description for each status. You can add new statuses and edit or delete the existing ones.

The Agent Status Live Board

You can find the Agent Status section by going to Configuration > User Management > Agent Status.

Here you can see a list of existing statuses, along with the following information:

  • Name: The name of the status that is displayed within the Agent Console.
  • Actions: The available action is to Edit the status entry.
  • Type: The type of status, mentioning whether the agent is Available, Away, Busy, or Offline while the particular status is set.
  • Description: A short description of the status.

System Away and System Busy Status

System Away: When an agent does not accept or respond to an interaction within the configured acceptance timeout, the agent’s status automatically changes to system away. Learn more.

System Busy: When all the slots assigned to an agent are occupied, the agent’s status automatically changes to system busy. Learn more.

Note:

  • System Away and System Busy statuses are enabled by default for new accounts. To enable them for existing accounts, contact Kore Support.
  • The system preserves an agent’s last recorded status, such as “available,” “away,” or “busy,” to ensure a seamless workflow. When an agent returns from a break or completes an outbound call, they automatically revert to their previous status without manual intervention. During outbound calls, the system temporarily updates the status but restores it to the prior state once the call ends. Similarly, when the system places an agent in a “busy” state due to high activity or system processes, their last status is preserved and reinstated after the busy period, enhancing efficiency and consistency in agent operations.

  1. In the Agent Status section, click + New Status.
