CTI Call Controls

-Agents avail with call control functions via Agent Desk (Agent SDK) CTI toolbar. To improve usability, and enhance agents' overall call-handling experience, agents have the option to fix the CTI toolbar in the conversation view.

When agents answer a call, they have a clear indicator showing the active call status, in a fixed location and the conversation view is open for agents to perform any activity.
