Intrahour interval

 

Intrahour interval

A segment of time starting on the hour and consisting of either 15, 30, or 60

 

minutes. An intrahour interval is the basic unit of CMS report time.

Least Occupied Agent

An agent selection method that uses agent occupancy rather than position in

(LOA)

an idle agent queue to determine which agent to select when a call arrives.

 

LOA can be used with either Uniform Call Distribution (UCD-LOA) or Expert

 

Agent Distribution (EAD-LOA). This agent selection method is specific to

 

Business Advocate.

List Trace Advocate

A function used to trace the activities of Advocate agents. These activities

 

include all agent state changes until the trace is turned off. You must activate

 

an agent trace to obtain List Trace Advocate information.

Location

A location, or site, refers to a physical location. This can be a building, a

 

section of a building, or it can be what was once a separate ACD before the

 

ATM WAN capability was used to merge separate ACDs with other ACDs

 

into one large contact center. A location will typically be assigned one (or

 

more) location IDs.

 

A location, despite being part of a larger contact center, may continue to

 

have sole responsibility for handling certain 800 numbers. A location may

 

also share responsibility for handling an 800 number by having some of its

 

agents be part of a larger split or skill that includes agents from other

 

locations.

Location ID for agents

An agent location ID is the ID of the agent terminal the agent is logged in to.

 

It is associated with the DEFINTY port network ID to which the agent

 

terminal is attached.

 

An agent cannot be assigned a location ID for reporting purposes until he or

 

she logs into the ACD. Available on the DEFINITY ECS R7.1 with ATM and

 

later.

Location ID for Trunks

The switch network location ID (1 to 44) that is associated with a trunk. A

 

Location ID is not directly assigned to a trunk. Instead, it is assigned to a port

 

network (this is done using the chcabinetx form).

 

Therefore, each trunk whose equipment location belongs to that port network

 

is associated with that port network’s location ID.

 

When running CMS reports that include location IDs (LOC_ID), those IDs

 

defined on Communication Manager that are greater than 44 will return a

 

default location ID of 0 to CMS. Support for location IDs above 44 is

 

expected in a future release of CMS.
