"Agent Traits" in combination with Duty Profiles provide a way to manage agents responsibilities in a contact center. Traits and Responsibilities are defined in a separate pool that all your users draw from. They will be considered during the contact center tasks (calls, chats, emails) and their distribution between available agents.

The Traits Tab contains

  • Profile. The profile defines agent responsibility according to Distribution Policy algorithm. The "Total Profiles" counter shows the number of profiles which are applied for an agent. Navigation arrows helps to list the profiles if there are more than three.
  • Traits. Each trait has Attributes and Responsibilities. Attribute (skill level) is determined for the trait, e.g. Junior, Senior, and Expert. Responsibilities are determined for each Profile of a specific Trait.

You can configure the following actions are available on Agent Traits tab:

     At least 1 profile must be selected and set to default. 
  • Delete Profile. Next to each profile, there is a remove button . The confirmation pop-up will be displayed for a user. Click "Delete Profile" to confirm deletion or "Cancel" to close the pop-up.
