Improved Activity for monitoring and reviewing chats

• facebook

We've packed all sorts of exciting new features into the revamped webclient for staffing, which is now out of the beta phase: canned messages, instant access to staffing info, and geocoding. And now we've also updated the Activity tab, available in both the revamped webclient and admin site. The main US server and Canadian regional server already have this update; the Europe and Singapore regional servers will receive the update soon.

Managing a chat

Following an active chat and hovering over the transfer button.

Chat management has a new look and feel with all the old goodness still intact. Click any chat to see its transcript (if you opt to store them).  You can pop any chat out into its own window/tab, e-mail the transcript, tag for followup, or block an unruly guest for 24 hours.

And for active chats, you can do even more!  Refresh transcript to follow the conversation, which comes in very handy for assisting colleagues with challenging sessions.  You can also intervene in an active chat by transferring it to a different operator or queue or by sending a file such as a hard-to-locate PDF.


Managing chats in bulk

Personalize your grid. Choose which columns you want to see.  Don't use profiles?  You can hide that column from view entirely. Drag and drop the columns to order them the way you want. Grab the column separator to change the width of the column.

Slice and dice your data. Filter by one or more criteria. If you are working with lots of chats, multiple filters are great for finding the needle in the haystack. Click a column's header to sort the table's data by that column; click again to reverse the sort. View timestamps in your timezone and in either 12 or 24 hour formats.
