Common Supervisor Workflows

Supervisors have access to an additional set of features to help them perform their managerial duties. Some basic workflow task as performed through the Contivio Apps are as follows.

We also recommend reviewing our Supervisor Tools video here to get you started:

Monitoring and Coaching Agents Using the Contivio App

​Monitor a User
To monitor a Contivio user or multiple users, you can:
  • Click the ‘Directory’ icon from Side Bar.
  • Look for an active user – ‘Ready’ status.
  • Mouse over the user and click the ‘Monitor’ icon.
  • When the user places or receives a call, you’ll be prompted to monitor the call.
  • Click the ‘Stop Monitoring’ icon when you’re finished.
Note:
A Supervisor will continue to receive prompts to monitor calls until ‘Stop Monitoring’ is selected for the monitored users.   All call monitoring requests, however, get cleared automatically when the Supervisor logs out of the App.  If multiple users are selected to be monitored, only one call can be monitored at a time. 
​
Monitor a Call
To monitor a phone conversation of a Contivio user, you can:
  • Click the ‘Directory List’ icon from Side Bar.
  • Look for an active user engaged in a call – ‘Busy’ status.
  • Mouse over the user and click the ‘Monitor’ icon.
  • Click ‘Stop Monitoring’ when you’re finished.
Picture
Note: 
Neither the Agent nor the other party will have any knowledge the call is being monitored, and neither party will be able to hear you.
​

Warning:

2 Supervisors can’t monitor the same call at the same time.  Also, a Supervisor can only monitor a call when in the ‘Ready’ status.
Coach a User 
To whisper to and coach a user, you can:
  • Find the user in the Directory List and click on the "Monitor" icon to monitor the call.
  • While monitoring, click the ‘Supervisor Whisper’ icon (the one that looks like an ear) from Supervisor Bar.
  • Click the ‘Supervisor Whisper’ icon again to stop.

Note:
When whispering or coaching a user, the other party cannot hear you.
Picture
Take over a Call (Barge-In)
To barge-in and take over a call, you can:
  • While monitoring a call, click the ‘Supervisor Barge-in’ icon from Supervisor Bar.
  • Click the ‘Supervisor Barge-in’ icon again to stop.

Note:
When you barge-in to the call, the customer will hear you as well.

Real-Time Dashboard Reports

Check how many users are ready or busy 
To check the availability and work status of users, you can:
  • Click the ‘Work Status’ icon from Supervisor Bar.
  • Click the ‘Agent progress’ tab to see all users.
  • Navigate the header for ‘Ready’ and ‘Not Ready’ status.
​
As an alternative, supervisors can also keep track of agents' statuses by reviewing the "Real Time Agent Status" table in the real-time dashboard (see screenshot). 

Note:
Standard users, such as Agents, do not have access to the ‘Work Status’ report tab ‘Agent progress’.  Users can always see the status of other team members by navigating to Contact Center members under the ‘Directory List’.
