What do I do if some of the boxes on the screen are overlapped and the page looks funny using Mozilla Firefox?

  2. Select “Manage Agent Names” from the “What Would you like to do?” list.
  3. Click “add new” then type in a name then click “save”.

The name will then appear on the list of agents when you create agent specific tags.
