Indicate the Result of Interactions in CXone Agent

In the Outcomes window in CXone Agent, you can indicate the result of interactions. How you do this depends on the interaction type, such as call, chat, social message, voicemail, and so on. It also depends on the settings configured by your administrator. Indicating the result of an interaction may be required or optional. There are two ways to indicate the result of an interaction: statuses and dispositions.

Statuses

Statuses indicate the result of these kinds of interactions:

There are six possible statuses: New, Open, Pending, Escalated, Resolved, and Closed. You cannot change an interaction's status after it's set to Closed. In order to edit the Status of an interaction, it must be assigned to you. If you are previewing an interaction, you cannot edit its Status.

Dispositions

Dispositions indicate the result of calls and voicemails. Your administrator can also set up dispositions for any interaction type. For example, if dispositions are set up for your chat skillClosed Used to automate delivery of interactions based on agent skills, abilities, and knowledge, you can assign it a status and a disposition.
