Filters and Sorting

Agents can be filtered in two ways:

  • Typing into the filter agents text box. This will filter on name, team or skill set.
  • Selecting an agent type from the drop-down list (this will only display if more than one agent type is available)

The agents can be sorted by selecting an option under Sort By. This will default to the start of the shift in ascending order.
