This drop-down selection (if enabled) will allow an agent to the method of connection to the Cirrus platform. 

Calling Identity

For calls to external parties, it is quite common to use the company's main number as an outgoing identity. However, some Users prefer to use their own office number or the group number of their department. Here you can select this outgoing calling identity and your choice remains until you change it. 

The options in the list are enabled in the Administrator application and are individual to each agent. For most Agents, the main number of the company is set on the server level and cannot be overruled.

Forwarding

Direct calls to you can be automatically forwarded to other phone numbers, depending on your status. You can set different forwarding numbers for internal and external callers.

Use the ‘+ External’ button to set different forwarding destinations for internal and external calls.

Allow incoming calls in your personal queue when on the phone.

Call handling

When status is Available automatically answer incoming calls.

Office hours

When this option is enabled, the user's status follows the configured schedule. Within the selected scheduled times, the status is Available; outside of the scheduled times, the status is Not Available. Please note! The status will not switch if it is set to Away or if the status has been manually changed to another status.

This option is only available if the office hours are not imported from the Outlook calendar.

Media Devices

If you are using an audio device like a USB headset or a laptop microphone and speaker, you can change your default media devices by navigating to ‘Settings > Media Devices’.

Agent Groups

If you are responsible for handling interactions from the Routers (queues), the toggle ‘Logged on as an agent’ must be enabled. Additionally, an agent group must be enabled to receive interactions for that group. 

Administrators and Supervisors (if enabled) can choose on a per-agent level whether or not an agent is a fixed member of the Agent Group or not. This allows an agent to activate or deactivate from the group. This can be seen in the above image. The agent can opt in and out of the accounts group (fixed) but is enforced into the other 3 groups as they are greyed out.
