FAQPage Schema
How does the agent lifecycle work in DeskAgent?▼

The agent lifecycle in DeskAgent orchestrates tasks, sessions, and state management from execution to completion. It preserves context throughout the process to ensure seamless workflow operation.

What is the difference between Full Mode and Quick Access Mode in the UI?▼

Full Mode displays the complete agent interface, while Quick Access Mode uses a compact layout with a Result Button for background tasks. Quick Access Mode handles background tasks and running badges differently than Full Mode.

How does session management separate tasks and sessions in DeskAgent?▼

Session management in DeskAgent separates tasks from sessions by tracking the running indicator lifecycle and storing execution data. The History Panel displays session data to show the relationship between active and completed tasks.

How do I troubleshoot data flow issues between the UI and the agent?▼

Troubleshooting data flow requires checking UI components like Tile Grid, Pinned Tile, and Result Panel for correct rendering. Verify the agent execution steps and context preservation to identify where the flow breaks.

Do I need prior knowledge of workflow design to use DeskAgent UI components?▼

Yes, understanding DeskAgent's workflow design and architecture is required. The guide covers advanced concepts like agent execution, data flow, and session management, assuming familiarity with these foundational elements.

When should I use Pinned Tiles versus standard Tiles in the UI?▼

Use Pinned Tiles to keep specific agent results accessible, while standard Tiles display general UI components. This distinction helps manage the interface layout when handling multiple agent sessions and background tasks simultaneously.
