Monitoring Dashboard overview
The Monitoring Dashboard provides detailed information about support agents and chat sessions for the selected companies and support queues. The dashboard displays information like total open chats, assigned chats, chats in queue, and average queue time.
For the information to appear on the dashboard, you must select a company and a support queue from the Company and Support Queue lists. By default, all the companies to which the user (administrator or supervisor) has access are selected in the Company list with their respective support queues and support queues mapped to the Global company selected in the Support Queue list.
Important
The information in the dashboard changes according to the companies and support queues that you select. The Monitoring Dashboard does not display any information if you have not selected any company and support queue.
The information in the Monitoring Dashboard auto-refreshes every 15 seconds. However, you can also manually refresh the information:
- To manually refresh the information, click
(Refresh). - To pause the auto-refresh, click
(Pause). - To resume the auto-refresh after pausing, click
(the Resume button appears only after you click the Pause button).
