The Manage Chats page lists all waiting and assigned chats, as well as all chat agents available for each topic. The manage chats page is similar to the Manage Messages page, except the actions and view of chats are designed for chat interactions. Agents that have the Chat.Supervise access right in their user type can view the Manage Chats page.
