Record button - This button is configured to stop and start recordings, or to pause and resume recordings as configured by your administrator. Hover the mouse cursor over the button to find out how the button is configured. If you are on an internal call, your recording actions do not affect the other storm user's recordings.

Clicking  stops or pauses a recording.

Clicking  starts or resumes a stopped or paused call recording.

Note: if the button is configured to stop and start recordings, a recording item is generated in the Comms Panel - History Tab each time you stop a recording.

Hang Up button - Clicking this ends the call that is in progress, rejects an incoming call, or cancels a call that is being dialled.

Wrap-up Countdown Timer - Where configured against a queue or an agent group, this is displayed during the wrap-up status at the end of a call. It indicates the duration for which you will remain in this status unless you submit a completion code or select another availability status. If you allow the timer to expire, any displayed completion code form closes and no completion code is submitted.

Clicking the  PAUSE button removes the countdown timer and you remain in the wrap-up status. Clicking the Complete Wrap-Up button that is then displayed moves you into the Available status (no completion code is submitted).
