4.11.2 Queue Position

The Queue Position action plays the caller their position within the queue of calls for a hunt group. It is not used for calls queued for a user. The queue position is supplied by the IP Office when it requests a queue or still queued announcement message to be played to a caller.

Normally a simply announcement is used that does not include queue position and estimated time to answer. However if required the Queued and Still Queued call flow start points can be added and customized using actions including this one.

When calls are presented to a hunt group on the IP Office, calls waiting to be answered are queue in order of priority and then longest waiting. By default internal caller's have Low priority while the priority of external callers is set by the IP Office Incoming Call Route used to route the call (default also Low).

Mixing calls of different priority is not recommended if Voicemail Pro is being used to provide queue estimate time to answer (ETA) and queue position announcements to callers, since those values will no longer be accurate when a higher priority call is placed into the queue. Note also that in such a situation Voicemail Pro will not allow a value already announced to a caller to increase.

The IP Office Manager option Synchronize calls to announcements should not be used with call flows that include this action.
