Overview
The Call Center Console in the Virtual-Call UC Client provides queue managers and agents with a central overview of all queue activities. It consists of two areas: the Wallboard with real-time statistics and the Queue Panel for managing calls and agents.
Prerequisites
- Access to the Virtual-Call UC Client (Web or Desktop)
- At least one queue must be configured in the PBX Management Portal.
- The user must be assigned as an agent or manager of a queue.
- The corresponding permissions must be enabled in the Queue Panel Permissions of the queue (see article "Queue").
Access
In the UC Client, navigate to Call Center Console in the left sidebar. Below it, you will find the two sub-menus Wallboard and Queue Panel.
Wallboard
The Wallboard displays real-time metrics of the selected queue in a clear tile layout.
Select a Queue
In the top left corner, use the dropdown menu (e.g. Queue 1 [6400]) to select the desired queue. Use the arrow buttons on the left and right to navigate between multiple queues.
Time Period
In the top right corner, select the time period for the displayed statistics (e.g. Today).
Widgets
The Wallboard displays the following metrics as widgets:
| Widget | Description |
|---|---|
| Waiting Calls | Number of callers currently waiting in the queue. |
| AVG Wait Time | Average wait time of callers. |
| AVG Talk Time | Average talk time of calls. |
| Max Wait Time | Longest wait time of a caller in the selected time period. |
| Missed Calls | Number of unanswered calls (red). |
| Abandoned Calls | Number of calls where the caller hung up (orange). |
| Answered Calls | Number of answered calls (light blue). |
| Total Calls | Total number of all calls (dark blue). |
| Agents Logged In | Number of currently logged-in agents relative to the total number. |
| Available Agents | Number of agents currently available. |
| Active Calls | Number of currently ongoing calls. |
| SLA | Current SLA value in percent with a gauge display. |
| Answered Rate | Percentage of answered calls (pie chart). |
| Missed Rate | Percentage of missed calls (pie chart). |
| Abandon Rate | Percentage of abandoned calls (pie chart). |
| Time / Date / Weekday | Current time, date, and day of the week. |
Customizing the Wallboard
Click Edit in the top right corner to customize the Wallboard.
In edit mode, you can:
- Add Widget—Click + Add Widget to add additional metrics.
- Move widgets—Drag and drop widgets to the desired position.
- Remove widgets—Click the X on a widget to remove it.
- Widget settings—Click the gear icon to adjust a widget's settings.
- Lock widget size—Click the lock icon to fix a widget's size.
- Reset—Resets the layout to the default view.
Click Save to apply your changes, or Cancel to discard them.
Queue Panel
The Queue Panel provides an operational real-time view of the queue with call details and agent information.
Statistics Bar
At the top, the key metrics of the selected queue are displayed:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| SLA | Current service level value in percent. |
| Answered Calls | Number of answered calls. |
| Abandoned Calls | Number of abandoned calls. |
| Missed Calls | Number of missed calls. |
| Max Wait Time | Longest wait time of a caller. |
| AVG Wait Time / AVG Talk Time | Average wait time and talk time. |
Waiting Calls
Shows all callers currently waiting in the queue. The table contains the columns: Caller, Callee, Status, Time, and Details. Depending on permissions, managers can redirect, transfer, or park calls here.
Active Calls
Shows all currently ongoing calls in the queue with the same columns. Managers can listen, whisper, or barge in on calls—provided the permissions are enabled in the queue configuration.
Agent Panel
On the right side, the Agent panel is displayed with an overview of all assigned agents. For each agent, you can see:
- Name and extension of the agent
- Status (e.g. Logged out, Available, Paused, Static Agents)
- Answered—Number of answered calls
- Missed—Number of missed calls
- Total Talk Time—Total talk time of the agent
Using the icons in the top right corner of the Agent panel, you can search for agents, change statuses, or adjust the display.
Best Practices
- Use the Wallboard as a permanent display (e.g. on a screen in the office) for a quick overview of queue activities.
- Use full-screen mode (icon in the top right) for a better overview, especially on large screens.
- Regularly check the SLA value and abandon rate to identify bottlenecks early.
- Use the Queue Panel to respond to waiting calls in real time and redirect calls when needed.
- Customize the wallboard layout to show the metrics most relevant to your team.
