Advanced work assignment - Manager role

Hi

 

We are looking at using AWA for our HR cases so Agents are only assigned cases when not Offline.  Testing is going well on this.  However, my question is, can a manager mark an Agent as Available when the Agent has forgotten to do so?

 

Thanks

Hi,

Yes OOB it is possible. In the screenshot below, Abel has awa_manager role

You need to open awa_agent_presence table and form here they can change the state of agents.

 

However, I actually did look at this and we decided not to give this option to managers as this is not scalable, Even operationally it will be a chaos to manage as each queue has different manager, so now you will need to think on how can you manage it queue level. Just opens a can of worms. especially if you have different helpdesks and teams using the module.

Thanks Anurag - this worked for the manager but the Agent was still Offline (even with a refresh).  I do agree with your reasoning for not using it though.
