User Interface OverviewThe Agent Desktop application user interface is shown with an active call. Its main elements are shown, and these elements are often referred to in the subsequent sections of this guide.[[File:Agent-Desktop-UI-Overview2-50.png|thumb|800px|center|The elements of Agent Desktop]]The elements of the Agent Desktop application screens perform the following functions.The ''Active Conversations List'' shows all your active interactions. For example, if you make a consultation call while holding a service call, this list will show them as two separate items. When you select a particular call or chat from this list, more information about this interaction and the related controls will appear in the ''Contact Info Panel''. When you select an email from this list, the email content and the related controls will appear in the ''Context Information Area''. For emails, the ''Active Conversations List'' also provides access to your team email queue, your personal email queue, and case history.[[File:Active-Communications-Hold-50.png|450px|thumbnail|center|Active Conversations List]]The Contact Info Panel provides information about and controls the interaction selected in the ''Active Conversations List''. This is the area of the application that you will use most often to handle your active (established) calls and chats.The Contact Info Panel contains the following:* ''Service Selector'' for associating calls with the specific services your contact center provides* ''Number Input Field'' for entering phone numbers for outbound and internal calls* ''Directory and Dial Pad'' for accessing your company's directory of users and accessing the standard phone dial pad[[File:Contact-Info-Panel-50.png|450px|thumbnail|center|Contact Info Panel]][[File:Agent-State-Icon-50.png|50px]]The ''User Status Selector and Indicator'' displays your current state and, when clicked, a drop-down list of other states to select.
