Call Center Supervisor Guide

Call Center is an application that handles incoming calls as efficiently and economically as possible. Call
Center answers calls, then routes the calls to agents in a skillset that most closely matches the needs of the
caller. If there are no agents available, the calls are placed in a skillset to wait for an appropriate agent.
Waiting callers receive periodic announcements and informative messages.

This guide describes how a you can use Call Center features as a supervisor or a an agent. For more
information about Call Center agents, refer to the Call Center Agent Guide. For information about Call
Center administration, refer to the Call Center Set Up and Operation Guide and the Call Center Reporting
Set Up and Operation Guide.

Logging on to Call Center


You can log on as a supervisor to monitor or participate in calls between agents and callers.You can also
log on to a skillset as an agent to have calls routed to you. Check with your Call Center Administrator to
make sure you are set up as a supervisor.

You must use a two-line display telephone.Your telephone must have handsfree/mute capability. To
monitor calls with your voice muted, your telephone must have the handsfree/mute feature programmed.

Using ≤·‚› to monitor skillsets


When you use ≤·‚›:
• Use only preprogrammed feature buttons.
• Do not start a non-preprogrammed feature session by pressing the ≤ button.
• Do not start any 900 series feature sessions other than ≤·‚°.

Using a headset
Use a headset rather than handsfree when you monitor a call. This ensures call privacy and reduces the
office noise level. The headset must be plugged into the headset port on the bottom of the telephone. If you
pick up the handset when the headset is plugged in, the handset does not work. Check with your Call
Center Administrator to make sure you can use a headset with your telephone.

Monitoring tips
• More than one supervisor can log on to the same skillset.
• An agent can be monitored by only one supervisor at a time.
• Agents hear a tone when a supervisor begins to monitor the call.
• While you monitor a call, the intercom indicator on your telephone flashes. This is normal and indicates
the telephone is muted.
• When you press the intercom button, mute will toggle with unmute.
• To participate in a call, unmute the call by switching from handsfree to the handset.
• While you are on a call, do not initiate a monitoring session.

Checking skillset mailboxes for messages


Frequently check skillset mailboxes for messages. Only one agent at a time can retrieve messages from
each skillset mailbox. If different agents access the messages in the skillset mailbox throughout the day,
each agent should:
• listen to the message
• write down what the message says
• erase the message
• return the caller’s telephone call
If the caller is not available, the agent can try again later or give the message to another agent. If only one
agent retrieving the messages at your call center, this agent does not need to transcribe and delete each
message before callback. This agent handles messages and knows the status of the old messages.
