    Article Summary

    Managing multiple Contact Centers can mean keeping tabs on hundreds of agents — which is certainly no small feat. Fortunately, Dialpad's Monitor All Contact Centers view makes it a piece of cake. 

    Let's dive into the details.

    Who can use this feature

    Monitor All Contact Centers features are available to Ai Contact Center and Ai Sales customers on the Pro and Enterprise plans.

    Our discontinued Ai Voice with Contact Center Add-On license also supports this feature but is limited to existing customers.

    Monitor all contact centers

    The Monitor All Contact Centers view allows Supervisors and Contact Center Admins to view Contact Center activity across all the call centers they monitor and provides access to the following insights:

    • Live Calls- All live interactions that are currently being handled by an agent.
      • Live Calls are visible only to Contact Center Admins and Supervisors.
      • Office or Company Admins are not able to view Live Calls unless they are granted Contact Center Supervisor permissions.
    • Hold Queue- All interactions in the hold queue waiting to be delivered to an agent.
      • Hold Queue interactions are visible only to Contact Center Admins and Supervisors.
      • Office or Company Admins are not able to view Hold Queue interactions unless they are granted Contact Center Supervisor permissions.
    • Agents- All agents assigned to the contact centers.
      • Agents are visible to Supervisors, Contact Center Admins, and Office/Company Admins

    To access the Monitor All Contact Centers tab, first, head to the Dialpad app:

    1. Navigate to Ai Contact Centers
    2. Select Monitor All Contact Centers

    Note

    You must be a Contact Center Admin or Supervisor of the Contact Center in order to see calls under the Live Calls and Hold Queue tabs. If you are solely an Office or Company Admin, you will only see the list of agents.


    Customizable filters

    Supervisors and Contact Center Admins can search and save specific filters for their call center and agents. These unique filters can be based on a subset of the supervisor's agents within a specific queue that has hundreds of agents assigned.

    Dialpad provides the following filters:

    • Specific contact center(s)
    • Specific agent(s)
    • Specific Contact Centers and specific agents within those Contact Centers
    • Local agent(s)
    • Agent status

    Frequently asked questions

    Why don't I see calls under the Live Calls or Hold Queue?

    You must be a Contact Center Admin or Supervisor of the specific contact center in order to see its calls under Live Calls and Hold Queue.

    If you are an Office Admin or Company Admin without Contact Center Admin or Supervisor permissions, you will only see the list of Agents.
