Get the feature reference manual for your system from the avaya website - and look it up. Basically service observing is for a calling group "supervisor" to listen-in on how her group members (customer service reps, sales reps, etc. are treating (talking to)customers. The supervisor can listen in on the conversation for supervisory purposes.
This brief overview is from the Legend Release 7.0 Reference Manual. I do not believe it was available in earlier releases
Service Observing:
Service Observing allows one extension to listen in on (observe) a call at another extension. A typical application of this feature is that of a Customer Service
supervisor observing how a Customer Service representative handles calls.
The Service Observing group can listen to anywhere from one extension to all extensions in the system, including other Service Observers. Up to 16 Service Observing groups can be programmed. The Service Observer and the observed
extension must be on the same system.
The observer activates Service Observing either by pressing a Service Observing button and then dialing an extension number, or by pressing a DSS or Auto Intercom button. The Service Observer must use an MLX telephone to observe an extension; the telephone at the observed extension can be of any type.
A warning tone that alerts the observer, the observed extension, and the caller that Service Observing is occurring can be set to on or off through System Programming. The factory setting is on.
