Supervisor Experience
In this section, you will act as a supervisor and perform activities. The Supervisor Desktop provides a holistic supervisor experience within a centralized interface. It enables supervisors to manage, monitor, assess, guide, and assist agents. It also enables administrators to customize the Supervisor Desktop with widgets to address specific Contact Center business needs
Pre-requisite
- A supervisor user configured as described above
- One agent logged in and in conversation with a customer so you can monitor the call.
Supervisor Log in
-
Sign in to the Supervisor Desktop: https://desktop.wxcc-us1.cisco.com with your supervisor credentials.
-
In the next window, set your role as supervisor and your own extension. Please note that you can set your role either as supervisor or agent and supervisor. We will select this second option at the end of this lab.
- When you sign in to the Supervisor Desktop, the appearance depends on how the Webex Contact Center administrator has configured the desktop layout. The Supervisor Desktop display size must be greater than 500 x 500 pixels (width x height). You must set your web browser zoom to 100% for the best experience with the Supervisor Desktop. With this lab layout you get :
- Home Page: Displays a user-friendly interface that provides a consolidated view of key contact center metrics and filters. This is the default landing page in the Supervisor Desktop. The administrator can customize the Home Page in the layout JSON file.
- Task: Displays all the tasks when you sign in to the Desktop in a dual role (supervisor and agent) or as a supervisor, interactions such as voice, chat, email, and social messaging conversations, along with monitoring. The icon displays a badge indicating the number of requests that you have not accepted across various channels.
- Team Performance: Displays real-time information about an agent and a consolidated view of an agent’s performance as part of the team. You can also monitor and send 1:1 messages to an agent.
Note the Supervisor Desktop UI supports localization in 30 languages. The following are the supported languages: Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (China), Chinese (Taiwan), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English (UK), English (US), Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Ukrainian. The Supervisor Desktop UI language is based on the language preference settings on your browser. For example, let us consider that you have selected the preferred language as French on the Google Chrome browser. When you launch the Supervisor Desktop in the Google Chrome browser, the Supervisor Desktop UI appears in Français (French).

Chat with your agents
Collaboration between agents and supervisors can help your Contact Center to be more effective and efficient for your customers and this is why we have enabled Webex messaging features in both Agent and Supervisor desktops.
- Click on the Send Message button
- Fill the chat window with a message to send to your agent
- On the agent side, observe the message notification received
- If, as an agent, you want to answer to the supervisor, your will need to click on the Webex logo to open the Webex app embedded in the Agent Desktop. You can then reply to the supervisor directly.
- On the supervisor side, observe the message notification received
Monitor calls
- As a supervisor, the Team Performance Details page allows you to see all connected agents and decide to monitor calls by clicking on the Review and Monitor icon.
- The following popup will be displayed. Click on Start Monitoring. Please note a supervisor can monitor other call types such as callbacks, outdial calls, outbound preview campaign calls.
- In your Supervisor Desktop, an incoming popover window will be displayed and your softphone will ring as Webex Contact Center is now trying to reach you. You recognize the agent you want to monitor and other call variables are displayed. The Flow configuration defines variables to display on this popover (max 6). Accept the call on your supervisor softphone.
- As a supervisor, the call you are now monitoring is displayed in your desktop with agent and customer details of which the call variables so you are aware of the context of the call. You can view previous communications with a customer across all channels (voice, email, chat, and social) in the Contact History pane. The pane displays details for the last 24 hours.
- You can pause the monitoring and start is again if you will
Particular case when a supervisor is also an agent
- When you sign in to the Supervisor Desktop, you can - depending or your team assignment - choose either the supervisor role or supervisor AND agent role.
- In this case, the supervisor experience is a bit different as your agent status appears in the header section of the Desktop.
- If, as a supervisor, you choose to monitor a call, your status is set to Engaged and you cannot take other calls as an agent.
