The Service Observing feature can be used to monitor an agent’s performance for
extended periods of time. If you are observing a particular agent or agent station,
you are connected immediately to that agent’s call or the call at that station, and you
can hear both the agent and the caller. Service Observing can be used for training
purposes to help new agents handle successive ACD calls or to evaluate service.
You can also use this feature to monitor a Vector Directory Number (VDN). When
you observe a VDN, you are connected to the next available call at that VDN. (Since
multiple observers can monitor a VDN, but only one person can monitor each call,
you may be placed in a queue to observe the next available call.) When connected,
you will hear everything the caller hears: for example, wait treatment,
music-on-hold, and the agent talking. In addition, you will hear VDN-of-Origin
announcements.
The feature can be activated by pressing an administered button or,
if you are using telephones connected to the DEFINITY ECS G3V3 (or later), by
dialing one of two Service Observing feature access codes. With one feature access
code, you can only listen to the call; with the other feature access code, you can listen
and talk with the agent and the caller. Using a feature access code gives observers
dial-up access to service observing from an analog station with or without a
button. Observers who activate Service Observing by way of a
feature access code will hear tones to indicate the status of the observing in place.
For example, observers will receive confirmation tone when Service Observing is
activated.

You can also use the feature access code through remote access to do Remote Service
Observing. This feature allows users to observe calls on a listen-only or a listen and
talk basis from a remote location or a local station using Service Observing feature
access codes. Service Observing remotely can be used to observe physical extensions,
EAS agent login-ID extensions, and VDNs.
Remote Service Observing can be initiated either through Remote Access to PBX
services or Call Vectoring. When Service Observing occurs through the Remote
Access feature, a remote user gains access to the switch through either a trunk
group dedicated to Remote Access or DID trunks to the Remote Access extension.
When Service Observing is initiated through the Call Vectoring feature, a remote
user gains access by dialing a CO trunk or DID number that has its incoming
destination extension assigned to a vector that is programmed for Service Observing.
The vector associated with the VDN can be designed, using route to commands, to
provide direct access to a specific physical extension, EAS agent login-ID, or VDN to
be observed, or it can be designed to access service observing dial tone. If the service
observing dial tone is accessed, the observer has the option of entering the number of
any extension he/she is authorized to observe.
If your voice terminal has a display, the agent’s name and extension is shown on the
display screen while you are observing that agent. While in vector processing, the
VDN name and extension is shown on the display.
Agents can be monitored only if the “Can Be Service Observed” option on the Class
Of Restriction administration form is set to Yes.
While service observing, you cannot access other functions such as Hold, Conference,
Transfer, or other line appearances.
