Accessibility request: Make away more more obvious for agents

When I come back from my breaks I often forget to turn off away mode if I have clients returning, because when you set yourself to away mode there’s no banner to make it clear, and I have ADHD so I forget things almost as soon as I do them 😅

When the system turns you to away automatically for inactivity or you are on reassign replies there is a nice obvious yellow banner that makes it clear you need to return from away mode.

It would be very beneficial to have some sort of clear indicator on the agent side that they are still in the away mode they set, that is more obvious than the tiny yellow dot on the profile picture.

Hopefully this is easy to implement since the functionality is already partially there! This would massively improve my adherence and I’m sure other people would benefit as well. Thanks for your consideration!

Second this, here is what a teammate just requested :

“It would be helpful if the icon on the tab made it clear what your status was. With the multi tabs I am finding I am forgetting to take myself back on and I dont notice the small dot in the bottom left”

 

My suggestion is like original post, to make the away banner show not just for automatic away but whenever someone is away so its very very obvious that someones status is set to away.

 

This is even more beneficial for if someone else eg a manager set them as away so the user isnt even aware its been done so isnt aware to change it back.
