Users Breaks

Understand how user states function in CommPeak Cloud PBX, how to create new user breaks, and how agents can modify their state

On the Users Breaks tab under Users > Users Management, you can set up user breaks so that agents can indicate when they are available for calls or on a break. Each agent's state is reflected on the Realtime Stats page.

In CommPeak Cloud PBX, the Online state is the default one. Once the agents log in, they are automatically assigned the Online state. In this state, they can make calls.

In addition to the Online state, you can create other states called user breaks, as many types as you need. If the agents set any state other than Online, they will not receive incoming calls.

Breaks By Desks

You can also find the “Set as Global Default Break” setting in this section. Enabling it adds the selected break to the system’s default break configuration. Any desks that do not have their own custom break settings will automatically follow this global default.
