Attributes Tab

Note: If you are in Talkdesk Workspace, you can access all features described below by navigating to the Admin app. For more information, please refer to this article.

 

The Attributes tab is where you can configure, categorize, and assign attributes to specific users.

An attribute is a characteristic or a skill that can be associated with one, or more agents, with different proficiency levels.

Once configured, these attributes can be used in Talkdesk Studio, in the Assignment and dial component, to determine the agent selection criteria.

To ensure that attribute-based interaction and contact criteria are reported correctly, it is necessary to add a Reporting component to the flow.

 

Please follow the steps below to begin using Attributes.

4. Fill in the attribute’s form:

  • Name [4]: Name your attribute.
  • Category [5]: Select a category. Note: To create a new category for the attribute, follow the instructions contained in the “Creating Categories” section.
  • Proficiency [6]: Choose “Yes” or “No” to add proficiency. If “Yes” is selected, you are also able to set the attribute’s default proficiency level, which goes from one to five stars. Users assigned to the attribute will access this default proficiency level. If the value is changed later, the new proficiency level will only impact new users.

5. To assign attributes to users, check if the toggle button, on the top right-hand side of the page, is set to “Active” [7] and if yes, click Users [8]. This tab will be unavailable if the toggle is set to “Deactivated”.

 

Assigning Attributes to Users
