Customizing Break Codes

You can create break codes that agents use to indicate when they are taking breaks. You can also regulate how many or what percentage of agents can be on a break at the same time.

Tip: Use break codes such as 10 minute break, lunch, training, etc. The use of break codes can be monitored in the Real-time Statistics window.
