Agent Typology
Agent can be of 3 typology:
If the agent Typology is:
External or WebRTC the agent will be able to login, logout, pause/unpause from the Web Interface
Phonebar any action should start on the Phonebar and the Web Interface reflects the changes
The Typology field must be on line with the Agent's client configuration: the Agents with WebRTC use a different transport protocol from the Agents with the Phonebar (see the Voice Section).
A wrong agent configuration will not make possible the communication with the server, as shown in the Agent Status on the Phonebar:
If the Typology is External the Administrator can set an Hot Desk feature (available from XCALLY Motion Version 2.0.77) for the specific Agent:
