When editing an agent, assign queues on the Queues tab by searching and checking the box next to the queue name. To assign queues to a single agent, use the Assign Queues action to search for and select queues. To assign queues to multiple agents, select agents and use the Assign Queues action to search for and select queues. Warning: unselected previously assigned queues will be removed. To copy queues, select the agent with queues to copy, use the Assign Queues action, switch to locked mode to keep queues selected, select agents to copy to, and save.
