Query parameters:
-
selectedAttribute: Use this query parameter to augment the returned agent parameters with an extra parameter called selectedAttribute. This parameter indicates if the agent belongs to the attribute with the ID specified in this query parameter. For example, to find out which agents belong to the specified attribute, add
selectedAttribute=5000
.

Using selectedAttribute automatically sets the summary list query parameter to true.

selectedSkillGroup: Use this query parameter to augment the returned agent parameters with an extra parameter called selectedSkillGroup. This parameter indicates if the agent belongs to the skillgroup with the ID specified in this query parameter. For example, to find out which agents belong to the specified skill group, add selectedSkillGroup=5001
.
Note
Using selectedSkillGroup automatically sets the summary list query parameter to true.
-
ignoreRole: Use this query parameter to allow a supervisor to see a list of all agents in the system, including agents that the supervisor does not supervise. For example, to see all agents, add
ignoreRole=true
