Can I use more than one channel at a time?
Your environment might be set up to let you use another channel while you are active in a different one. For example, you might want to call a contact while you are handling their email or chat request.
To do this, use the Party Action menu in the Interaction Status area to find a list of all phone numbers and email addresses your company has for the contact, and select the one you want to use. If the connection is made, the status area and interaction control buttons are updated to include the new channel.
You might also be set up to handle multiple interactions over different channels simultaneously, such as three emails, two chats and a call with different customers.
If your account is set up for it, you can also click a phone number or email address that your contact sends you as a chat message to call or email the contact.
What happens when I mark an interaction as Done?
The answer depends on your account setup.
You might have to mark an interaction as Done 
before you can close the interaction view.
When you click Mark Done, your status might automatically change from After Call Work to Ready, Not Ready, or some other value, or you might have to manually set your status to Ready, or some other value, after you complete your after call work.
You might be allotted a certain amount of time after each call to perform After Call Work (ACW). If so, your status for the voice channel will be After call work until the time interval has passed, then it might change to Ready or Not Ready. You might also be able to extend your after call work time indefinitely, if a call requires more than the usual amount of after call work.
