Agent states and state changes are visible to an agent and a supervisor. The states are shown as icons and in the Status bar. The icons represent the four available channels and change color depending on the agent state. The supervisor can view the active channels on which the agent is working.
The following table describes the agent states:

Ready
If the account administrator enables Timed ACW in the administration interface, the agent transitions to ACW automatically following a customer call. After the Timed ACW interval completes, the agent automatically transitions to the Ready state. If the agent in the Timed ACW state needs additional time to perform work related to the customer call, the agent can change the state to ACW.
The agent is in the After Contact Work state when the interaction ends. The agent must set the interaction to Finish Work when the work is complete.
