The WebAgentService plugin setting ClassificationRequired can be used to make it mandatory for the agent to leave a classification. Once this is enabled, the agent must select and save a classification before they can click on handle, ensuring that every conversation is classified. For more information, click here.
Note
If the ClassificationRequired setting is enabled, it will conflict with the AutoFinishAudioDialogue setting. The AutoFinishAudioDialogue setting will take precedence, meaning the Dialogue will be automatically closed and the Agent will no longer have the option to classify.
