Supervising Calls (Monitor/Coach/Join)
When enabled on your phone by the System Administrator, the various supervising call features
allow you to any of the following:
•
Monitor
—Listen in on a conversation between a user and at least one other party without
being heard by any of them. This is the same feature as Silent Monitor for digital phones
(see page 3-59).
•
Coach
—Participate in a call so that only one user can hear you, but any other party on
the call cannot. For example, Coach can be used when training someone as a customer
service representative, because you want to be able to hear the user speaking to a
customer, and be able to advise them on how to answer questions or issues without the
customer being able to hear your coaching. Coach can also be used by an operator to
briefly join someone's call to announce something that requires immediate attention.
•
Join
—Participate in a phone call with two or more parties, where all participants can
hear you, and you can hear them. This is similar to conference calling but you don’t have
to be included by the conference initiator. This is the same feature as Joining a Call
(Break-In Feature) for digital phones (see page 3-45)
Note:
You can switch modes or users any time during the supervision of a call (see page 3-63).
IMPORTANT:
Each supervise command is available only if you have permission to use that
command
and
the user is configured to allow being supervised with that command. In addition,
if the target user to be monitored is connected to an internal user, that user must also be
configured to allow being monitored. Contact your Wave System Administrator about whether
the monitor, coach, and join features are enabled for your phone, and which users can be
supervised with these features, if any.
Depending on your system setup, if the person you are supervising leaves the call for any reason
(for example, transfers the caller to another extension), you may be disconnected.
