Users Breaks

Understand how user states function, 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 (or user breaks), as many types as you need. If the agents set any state other than Online, they will not receive incoming calls.

    What is DTMF?

    DTMF (Dual tone multi-frequency) is a technology for transmitting keypad digits via unique tone combinations.

    Then select the checkbox below if you want to enable the break right away.

To change the state, an agent must dial *14 and press the DTMF number corresponding to the desired state. The state will take a few seconds to be changed and shown on the Realtime Stats page.
