Group calls. If you need more time than what is allotted by default, you can use the Extend Wrap-Up Time feature.

Extend Wrap-Up Time

If the Wrap-Up Time feature is enabled by the ACD administrator, the Extend Wrap-Up Time feature is enabled by default and allows an agent to extend the Wrap-Up Time period for the same time duration as the Wrap-Up Time.

This feature is valid only if you are already in the wrap-up mode. You can activate the Extend Wrap-Up Time once per call using Feature code 973 or by mapping an access button to this feature (see “User Button Mapping”).

Hunt Groups Incoming calls ring to one member of the hunt group. If that member’s telephone is in use, or if that member does not answer the call, the system “hunts” for another member of the group until the call is answered or is forwarded to the group call coverage point. For example, if there are no available members of the hunt group, the call might be forwarded to a group mailbox or to the receptionist. Figure 4 shows the path of a call coming into a hunt group.
