Definition
Omni-Channel Home is a Setup page that serves as the central management console for Omni-Channel routing configuration. It provides an overview of routing configurations, queue assignments, presence statuses, and real-time supervisor dashboards for monitoring agent workload and service levels.
Real-World Example
The service manager at BrightStar Telecom opens Omni-Channel Home to review the current state of the support operation. The dashboard shows 12 agents online, 8 cases in queue with an average wait time of 3 minutes, and the longest waiting case at 7 minutes. She adjusts routing priorities to ensure high-priority cases are picked up first.
