Navigating Skylight Desktop

After you've logged in to Skylight Desktop, you'll see the welcome screen and can access the status menu:

  Object Description
1 Welcome Screen and Statistics The welcome screen contains your display name, average handle time, the interactions count, and customer satisfaction scores (CSAT) for the interactions you handled for the current day. As you work with interactions, these statistics automatically update
2 Current State

Your current state, which is either Ready, Not Ready, or a presence reason you selected for Not Ready. Click your current state in the global footer to open the status menu to take actions (such as change your state or log out) or to view information (such as the tenant you're logged into).

Below your state is a timer that indicates how long you've been in your current state. The length of time is shown in hours, minutes, and seconds (hh:mm:ss).

3 Ready State If you are currently in a Not Ready state, you can click Ready in the status menu to become available to accept work.
4 Not Ready State

If you are currently in a Ready state, you can click the appropriate presence reason in the status menu to go Not Ready. As a result, no new work offers are assigned to you. If you are currently working with interactions, you can continue to work with the interactions while you are in a Not Ready state.

The list of available presence reasons in the menu is configured by your tenant administrator.

5 Active Voice Pathway The extension that you are currently using. If you have more than one extension, for example, a PSTN extension and a WebRTC extension, click to open the menu to show all of your extensions. Select the extension you want to use.
6 Mode

The direction for interactions. You are logged in as Inbound by default. You can switch between directions from any logged in state by clicking on the direction and making your selection.

  • Inbound: You will only receive inbound interactions. For example, inbound or transferred interactions. This includes queue callback requests because they are created by an inbound customer in queue.

  • Outbound: You will only be offered outbound interactions that you did not initiate. For example, interactions created by a customer requested call.
  • Do Not Disturb Outbound: You will not be offered any inbound or outbound interactions. The only interactions are those with a direction of Agent Initiated that you initiate. For example, interactions you create by using the dial pad, Click to Dial, or Click to Email.
