Use the Quick Dashboard to monitor the status and alarm level of object lists and individual objects while performing other tasks. Clicking a Quick Dashboard entry displays the corresponding object list or object in the Supervisor Work Area.
A Quick Dashboard entry represents a specific object list or an individual object. For example, one Quick Dashboard entry could represent a list of Agents in a given Agent Group, and another could represent an ACD Queue.
Each Quick Dashboard entry includes an icon that identifies the type of object list or object. When an entry represents an Agent, Agent Group, Place, or Place Group, a second icon reflects the underlying work state of the object.
Each entry also includes a colored bar that reflects the aggregate alarm level of the underlying object list or object. For further information about alarm levels, see Viewing Alarms Overview.
You can also do the following:
Display the name of the object list or object in the colored bar at the bottom of each entry.
Include multiple rows of Quick Dashboard entries.
For further information, see Customizing the Quick Dashboard.
Administrators can create Quick Dashboard configurations and assign them to multiple supervisors. If your administrator has instructed you to load a predefined Quick Dashboard configuration, see Managing a Quick Dashboard. If you are an administrator, see Quick Dashboards Overview for further information.
A Quick Dashboard entry can represent one of the following:
An object list is a collection of similar objects. For example, one object list might contain all the Agent Groups that handle inbound telephone calls, and another might contain all the Agents in a given Agent Group.
When you click an entry that represents an object list, the Supervisor Work Area's list pane displays all the objects in that object list. If the details pane is present, it displays detailed information about that object.
A group object contains other objects. For example, Agent Groups and Place Groups are group objects. When you click an entry that represents a group object, the Supervisor Work Area displays the details of that group object.
A terminal object does not contain other objects. For example, Agents and Places are terminal objects. When you click an entry that represents a terminal object, the Supervisor Work Area displays the details of that object.
You can manage the Quick Dashboard by using the list pane Actions button, the details pane Actions button, the context menu, or a keyboard shortcut for each Quick Dashboard entry.
To add a new Quick Dashboard entry representing the object that is selected on the list pane, click the list pane Actions button and select Selected > Add To Quick Dashboard.
To add a new Quick Dashboard entry representing the object list that is displayed on the list pane, click the list pane Actions button and select Add List To Quick Dashboard.
To add a new Quick Dashboard entry representing the object that is displayed on the details pane, click the details pane Actions button and select <Object Type> > Add to Quick Dashboard, where <Object Type> represents the type of object.
Each Quick Dashboard entry includes a pop-up menu that contains selections for moving, removing, and renaming the entry. To display the pop-up menu, click the appropriate Quick Dashboard entry with your secondary mouse button. The pop-up menu selections are outlined below.
