Top Agents
(AUX)

The number of top agents logged into the skill who
are in the AUX work mode. This includes agents on

agent put any call on hold and has performed no
further action; the agent is on a direct agent call or in
ACW for a direct agent call; the agent is dialing to
place a call or to activate a feature; an extension call
or a direct agent ACD call is ringing with no other
activity.
For Generic 3 EAS with multiple call handling,
agents are available for other, multiple call handling,
skills.
