OfficeSuite Contact Center Services release 8.2 is scheduled for production on July 29th  and August 2nd. The following is a summary of what is coming in the new release. 

Self-Managed Agents can opt in/out of individual queues

Admins and Supervisors can now enable individual agents to join or leave assigned queues based on needs. This is done by editing an extension and selecting the “Self-Managed” checkbox.

If allowed, an agent can join or leave any of the queues in which they are assigned. This is done from the Queues tab in the Agent Control Panel (ACP). For an agent serving multiple queues they can now opt out of a queue to focus their time on a queue with more urgent needs. An agent can also opt into a queue, if they are a member of that queue, and that queue needs additional resources. The agent may not opt out of all queues they are assigned to and should choose an away or signed-out state instead.

The Admin or Supervisor can see which queues the agent is currently serving, and which queues the agent has opted out of. In this case, the agent is serving the Care Queue and Escalation Queue but has opted out of the Chat Queue. The Admin or Supervisor can override the agent’s queue duty and opt the agent back in or out of a queue.
