  3. Select the checkbox next to the name of each agent whose state you want to change, and then, as required, click Force Ready, Force Not Ready, or Force Logoff.
    The Info window appears.
  4. If you want to send a message to the selected agents before changing their state, enter your message in the window.
  5. Click OK.
    The state of the selected agents is changed, and their updated state appears in the State column.
