Within the Supervisor Work Area, Threshold Templates define the conditions that generate alarms (alerts). A Threshold Template contains one or more thresholds for a given type of contact center object. For example, an Agent Threshold Template could contain thresholds for the following statistics:
Average Inbound Time
Average Outbound Time
Average Consult Time
Average Handle Time
Once a Threshold Template has been defined, it can be assigned to one or more objects. For further information, see Assigning Thresholds to Objects.
Note: Supervisor Work Area views are changed immediately after Threshold Templates are assigned, modified, or deleted.
To manage the Threshold Templates:
Log in to the Genesys Desktop application. For further information, see Accessing the Supervisor Work Area.
From the action bar, select Supervisor > Settings > Threshold Templates.
In the Threshold Templates window, use the New, Copy, Edit, Set As Default, and Delete buttons as necessary. For further information, see the tables below.
For further information about alarms, see Viewing Alarms Overview.
A Threshold Template contains a set of thresholds for a given type of object.
It is possible to define multiple Threshold Templates for a given type of object; however, each object can point to only one Threshold Template. For further information, see Assigning Thresholds to Objects.
Use the Threshold Templates window to define and manage Threshold Templates.
