When an interaction is locked, it cannot be moved to a different Queue or Workbin (by any user or the routing server). The Supervisor Work Area provides two different options for locking interactions, the Lock Mode button and the Lock/Unlock actions.
You cannot change the locked status of an interaction that has an Interaction Status of Routing.
You can lock or unlock all interactions in all slices by using the Lock Mode button. Mode button is located on the Supervisor Work Area Button Bar. It is present only when you are working with interaction lists.
Setting the Lock Mode to On locks all interactions in the current view (all slices). The ToolTip changes to Snapshot is locked. When you use this option, all locks are preserved until you either set the Lock Mode to Off, navigate to another view, or log off. The ToolTip changes to Snapshot is unlocked.
