Agent to Agent ChatPreviously, only supervisors were able to contact agents from the voice portal to initiate chats. With this enhancement agents can initiate the chat with other agents. When this feature is enabled, agents are able to search for available agent by agent name (left panel on the Chat tab) and start a conversation. Agents that have un-viewed chats from either a supervisor or another agent will see a numerical indicator next to the CHAT icon of how many unread messages they currently have.

- Agents can only initiate chats with other agents.

- Agent can receive or send instant chat messages to other agents regardless of their current status (Ready, Not Ready, In Call, etc.)
