Use the Agents pane within the Activities view to associate agents with activities. To open this pane, select Agents at the top of the Activity Properties pane.

Agents can work on activities under two conditions:

1. They have the proper skill set. Their skills must match the skills required for the activity.
2. They are eligible for activity assignments. If the effective date is before the current date, these assignments override the agent’s eligibility to work on the activity accordingly to the skill set.

To adjust which agents are associated with an activity, change the skill settings for either:

• The agent, by using the Agent Information section. See the Agent Activities View.
• The activity, by using the Skills pane in Configuration > Activities module. See Configuring Skills for Activities.
