View 8x8 Contact Center summary

Admins can have a quick view of their 8x8 Contact Center channels, queues, and agent groups by going to Home > Summary. A channel facilitates communication of interactions in and out of a 8x8 Contact Center tenant. A queue is an ordered collection of interactions waiting to be served by agents who are qualified to respond to these interactions. An agent group is a collection of agents who report to a supervisor. A single group may serve your entire call center or may be dedicated to one or more products, services, queues, or to a specific communication channel such as phone, email, or chat. 8x8 Contact Center uses skill-based routing rules to place interactions to the appropriate queues.

The Summary page provides a quick statistical summary of:

  • Phone, email and chat channels configured for your tenant.
  • Inbound and outbound queues for all media, such as phone or email.
  • Agent groups, with the number of agents in each group.
