Add custom agent status

Agents are responsible for setting their status in the Contact Control Panel (CCP). In fact, the only time an agent's status changes is when they manually change it in the CCP, or when their supervisor changes it in a real-time metrics report.

Amazon Connect provides two default status values:

• Available

• Offline

You can change the name of these values, and you can add new ones. For example, you might add a status for Lunch, and another for Training. These and the default status values will be used for reporting, metrics, and resource management.

When you add a new status, it will always be Custom, not routable.

You can't delete a status value but you can disable it so it doesn't appear on the agent's CCP.

To add a new agent status

1. Choose Users, Agent status, Add new agent status.

2. Enter a status name and description, and select whether the status should appear in the CCP to the agent.

3. Choose Save.

To change the order that the status values appear in the CCP, click the waffle next to the status value, as shown in the following image. Drag it to the order you want.

To edit a status

1. Choose Users, Agent status.

2. Hover over the status name and choose the edit icon.

3. Enter the new information, and choose Save to apply the changes.

Choose View Historical Changes to view the change history. You can filter changes by date (between two dates) or by user name. If you can't see the View historical changes link, make sure you have permissions to view these changes.
