The customer care workspace consists of three primary areas. You can easily get to any of the pages when you click on the tab located at the bottom of the page:

You can use customer care to assist customers and chat with coworkers.

Monitoring customers

The way the administrator has configured the instance will determine what you see in the Monitoring customers page. The three optional pages let you view:

The following information is included in the list of customers:

Status
Displays the state of the customer session, such as, thinking, waiting, chatting. This is available when all store customers are monitored.
Customer
Displays the customer's user name if the customer has signed in. If the customer has not signed in, the customer is displayed as a guest with an assigned guest ID.
InSite
Displays the amount of time the customer has spent at the Web site. Because the InSite timer resets each time you log on to the Customer Care workspace, it might not accurately reflect the time a customer has spent at the Web site. For example, a customer might spend five minutes at the Web site before you log on. The InSite timer does not include the five minutes prior to your logging on.
Current page
Displays the title of the Web page the customer is currently viewing.
In page
Displays the amount of time the customer has spent on the current Web page. Because the In page timer resets each time you log on to the customer care workspace, it might not accurately reflect the time a customer has spent on a Web page. For example, a customer might spend five minutes on a Web page before you log on. The In page timer does not include the five minutes prior to your logging on.
Cart
The number reflects the number of items the customer has in the shopping cart.

Tip: The All Store Customer list contains all customers at the site, including customers waiting for help and those in active sessions with agents. The Customers waiting number contains only those customers who are waiting for help from a Customer Service Representative.
