You can monitor voice interactions, view real-time dashboards, and ensure agents’ interactions with customers meet quality standards. Before you begin using the powerful tools available to you, it helps to get acquainted with where things are and how you can use them.

Your administrator configures your supervisor profile, including your permissions and Desktop settings. When you sign in, the home page displays custom or persistent widgets that are based on the layout configuration. To learn more about how to sign in, see Sign in to Supervisor Desktop.

Supervisor Desktop automatically adjusts to different screen sizes. However, the display size must be greater than 500 x 500 pixels (width x height). Set your web browser zoom to 100 percent for the best experience. To learn more about supported browser versions, see System requirements for Webex Contact Center.

Currently, Supervisor functionality is supported only on the full desktop size form factor. You can use Supervisor features in a web browser window.

In the horizontal header, you can do the following:

Navigation bar

The navigation bar is where you can access functions available to you as a supervisor, including Supervisor Home Page (Home icon), Team Performance Details (Team Performance Details icon.), Feedback (Feedback icon), and Help (Help icon). If your profile is configured for statistics reporting, you’ll find the Agent Performance Statistics icon (Agent Performance Statistics icon.), where you find the historical and real-time statistics as an agent.

Reload (Reload button) icon displays only when you access Desktop in an I-frame.

Task list (task list tab)

The task list pane is where you can monitor agents engaged in calls with customers. This is also where you can see any interactions routed to you in the supervisor-and-agent role. If you collapse the task list pane, a pop-up dialog box displays when a call, chat, email, or social messaging conversation request routes to you.

Agent interaction history

The agent interaction history pane is available when signed in the supervisor-and-agent role. It displays at the bottom-left corner and is where you can view your previous communications with a customer across all channels (voice, email, chat, and social) for the last 24 hours.

Monitoring control pane

When on a call, the monitoring control pane expands and includes the customer information, connected timer, control buttons, and more.
