Access the Dashboard
To view and use the Dashboard tool of the desktop app, click the Dashboard icon next to the app's status icons.
Use the Dashboard
When you open the Dashboard, you will be able to use the left side to handle Active Calls and manage Parks. The panel on the right can be used to view your Contacts and monitor activity in your Call Queues and Auto Attendants.

Transfer Calls
In the Dashboard tool, you can transfer calls with ease by dragging and dropping an active call onto a user's contact.
✔ When you drag and drop to transfer a call, you will have the option to either Blind Transfer, Assisted Transfer, or transfer the caller to that user's Voicemail.
Once the call completely transfers, you will see a notification saying the transfer was successful:
Calls can also be transferred to Call Queues and Auto Attendants using the Call Queues and Auto Attendants tabs in the right panel.
Park Calls
While you are using the Dashboard, you can park calls and answer parked calls.
Static Parking
One way to park calls is statically. Static Parking allows you to choose which park queue the call will be parked in.
Dynamic Parking
Another way you can park a call is dynamically. Enabling Dynamic Parking will have the desktop app choose where to park the call for you.
✔ Once a call has been dynamically parked, a notification will let you know which park queue the call has been parked in.
Handle Parked Calls
When there is a call waiting in a park, you have the ability to…
- Accept the parked call.
- Forward the parked call.
- View the call's information (the caller ID of the caller and who parked the call originally).
Reference Your Contacts
Monitor Call Queues
In the Call Queues tab of the right panel, you can view the activity of each of your call queues.
Click on a specific call queue to see a list of the agents that are currently part of the queue.
You can…
- View the names and extension numbers of the agents.

- Filter and sort your call queue's agents using the dropdowns.
