Chats: connected, queued, and completed

The Chats menu covers all the real-time views for your chat operation. The 3 views are Queued, Connected, and Completed, separating the chats based on waiting in-queue, connected to an agent, or finished. Each page has generally the same layout and functionality with slight variations depending on the chat status. The most notable variation is the ability to view live chats from the Chats > Connected page as described in View Connected Chats.

All Chat pages show chats for the current day based on the timezone of your computer.

Chat monitoring pages are also subject to Roles & Permissions settings.
