About Agent Desktop
The Agent Desktop provides a single browser-based application that enables
agents to interact with customers using voice, chat, or email. Depending on
the configuration of your agent profile by the Cisco Webex Contact Center
administrator, you can communicate with customers through one, two, or all the
three channels.
The Agent Desktop user interface is divided into three sections. The left and
right sections have the contact and contact information respectively. You can
see all the conversations in the center pane.
Note
Agents handling voice interactions require a telephone in addition to the
Cisco Webex Contact Center Agent Desktop Application (ADA) interface.
