Agent-pools

The organization's own agent-pools. An agent-pool is a group of agents that work as one: each agent registers into its pool with one of the pool's tokens, and takes on the pool's capabilities. Pools shared by several organizations are not listed here: they are managed in Administration.

How to get there

• From the main menu: Settings › Agent-pools, in the Spider group.

Permission

Agent-pools are managed by global administrators: Manage organization doesn't include them. The page needs View agent-pools, given in Administration. Add agent-pool and Edit need Add and change agent-pools, and Delete needs Delete agent-pools. See Permissions.

The list

Each pool, by Name, with its Description. Click the Name header to sort.

Double-click a pool, or select it and click Open, to see its page: see Agent-pool. When a colleague adds, changes or deletes a pool, the list shows it by itself.
