Agents Interface & Navigation

Agents Interface is designed for support agents and administrators to manage content and community easier. You can get to any object in the system, have a system overview and go to the Administration area.


Only administrators and agents can see this interface


You are automatically redirected to the agent interface on login. But once you enter the community home screen, you can access to it manually from the top bar directly to the Dashboard or Requests.

If you want users to have access to a specific location in the system, please define top tabs in Administration » Interface »  Home Screen.

For Support Agents

There are several options available in Menu depending on the features that you use in UseResponse:

  • Dashboard - overview of all objects that require agents' attention. Topics/Tickets that require a reply or waiting for a reply with basic statistics and access to reports on click. Track your assignments, recent activity, notifications on internal notes. Dashboard is customized with widgets from the top right;
  • Inbox - each agent can have the list of custom queues and filters to save and use in the future. All global predefined reports are also available at this link. This is the main area of the system where you would manage content;
  • Knowledge Base - online documentation around your product built with detailed articles and short FAQs;
  • Announcements - the list of all updates and news you create to share with your forum members;
