    About this task

    The work item views display the list of pending and queued work items from all channels and queues. Drill down into the specific record to get an idea of how much work is at-hand within the team on various channels and queues pertaining to the assignment groups. The work item is allocated to qualified agents using work item queues, routing conditions, and assignment criteria that you define. Using channels and queues, managers at a glance can gain visibility into the team‘s on-going work, quality of service, and improve agent performance and end-user experience.
