The conversation hub consists of a series of smaller widgets with focus on handling the the Incoming Call Queue. In conjunction with your Contact Search the hub can cover basic Attended Call Transfer as well as advanced Consultation Call scenarios.

The hub is split in 3 parts: 

  • Top row: Status widgets to help inform you about the most important metrics.  (info) Explained on the User Interface
  • Incoming - to signal any incoming calls distributed to you by the system
  • Active - your current conversation partner (a consultation target, colleague in this context below)
  • On Hold - the person put on hold (usually your external caller)

Each area in the hub has individual, context-sensitive call controls.
