Learn to change your chat agent status to either available or away.
Overview
Set your chat status to away to stop getting allocated new chats when you're not at your computer. You might do this when you go on a coffee break or leave your computer for any length of time. Once you return, make yourself available again, and you're ready to get back to chatting.
