How to handle missed requests

When a supervisor’s Supervisor Help LCD indicator is flashing, the supervisor can retrieve 
escalated or missed Supervisor Help requests.

If there are one or more requests, Call Center shows all of the requests. Escalated requests for calls 
that are still active are shown first, from the oldest to most recent. After that, missed requests are 
shown from the oldest to the most recent.

A supervisor can accept the call by pressing the 

YES

 softkey. After the supervisor accepts the 

request, the request no longer appears to other supervisors who are retrieving help requests. Their 
displays show the next escalated request, or the first missed request if there are no more escalated 
requests, or “No help requests” if there are no more missed requests.

For a missed request, the prompt “xx:aname asked” appears, and the supervisor can retrieve 
information about the call by pressing the 

INFO

 softkey, or can move to the next request by 

pressing the 

NEXT

 softkey.

An example of retrieving an escalated request

The supervisor launches the Supervisor Help feature by pressing the Supervisor Help (F906) 
feature key.

For a missed request, the prompt “aa asked help” appears”.

After a missed request is viewed by a supervisor, it is not shown to any other supervisor.

1

Launch the Supervisor Help feature by pressing 

≤·‚fl

or 

the F906 memory button on your telephone.

2

The display shows the ID and name of the agent requesting help.
Press 

YES

 to accept the help request

or
press 

INFO

 to see more information about the request

or
press 

NO

 to deny the request. This escalates the request, and the 

display shows the next help request, if there is one.

3

When the help session is complete, press 

®

 to end the session.
