When an agent is chatting with a customer on line 1 and they receive a voice call on line 2, switching in between conversations places the other on hold.  Is there a way to talk to the voice caller on line 2 while chatting to line 1, without placing the voice caller on hold?

Agents would like to multi-task, but cannot chat and talk on the phone at the same time.

The way to do this would be drop the phantom call for the chat conversations. Once the chat is established the phantom call is no longer required. The agent can either manually drop the phantom call, or there is a setting in the CCE Program configuration in CCE Control Panel to automatically drop the phantom call. This would place the agent in either ACW or AUX.

True multi-tasking is not really supported by CCE currently.  I had the same issue and i used the following work around. 

The only way I found to do this is in the CCE plugin is to keep track of the active voice call, then when the chat gets answered you unhold the voice call when the StationCallChanged event is fired for the chat.

You also need to configure your chat to automatically drop the phantom call. this will free the line apearance so that when you call xMLStation.CallUnhold(); the voice call gets put back on the line and it is the only call apearance showing.

The result is that you get about .1 to .2 seconds of hold music during the conversation.  If the customer is the one talking when you pickup the chat they really don't even notice.
