The Action Rules option under Agent Assist lists all the rules you have created to assist agents. You create Agent Assist rules to help agents with their real-time interactions. 

As a manager, you can create an Agent Assist Rule and identify when the rule is valid for an interaction. For each interaction, SpeechIQ verifies that a rule can be applied and then takes any action as outlined in the rule. Managers can configure who needs to be alerted, and how an alert must be communicated. If an agent's interaction with the customer meets certain criteria, such as specific keywords, interaction intent, sentiment, and so on, you can also configure messages, links, and so on to help the agents. This information is displayed on the agent's desktop during that particular interaction.

All the Agent Assist Rules that are configured are displayed on the Agent Assist Rules List window.
