How do I create or edit an Agent Group? Open

On the Agents Group page, click Add New to create a new agent group. To edit an existing Agent Group, click on the pencil icon to the left of the corresponding agent group.
To set up a new Agent Group, on the Agent Group Information page enter the Company the agent group belongs to, the Internal Name (the name the company will call the agent group internally) and the Nice Name (the public group name).
The Internal Name and the Nice Name can be the same or different names.
If you’re editing an existing Agent Group, you can update the Internal Name and the Nice Name. The Company section cannot be updated.
If you want to assign messages to the next available agent, click the box next to Round Robin.

If you would like to assign a color to the agent group – or update an existing color - click the box next to Group Color to pull up the color picker.
Once the color picker pops up, you can enter a hex code for a specific color - the default hex code is white (#FFFFFF) and then click anywhere on the page outside of the color picker.
If you’d like to choose a color with the color picker, simply click inside the color picker to activate the slider.
Once the slider is activated, slide it left or right to the color you’d like to choose, and then click anywhere on the page outside of the color picker.
Once you click outside of the color picker, you will see your color choice in the little box to the left of Group Color.
