DEFINITY places all Automatic Call Distribution calls into a queue. Each call stays in the queue until an agent becomes available, until an optional timed interval elapses, or until the caller abandons. If the call has not been answered after an administrable period of time, an announcement can be played for the queued caller. The call can then be connected to music to let the caller know that the call has not been dropped, sent to a coverage path, or connected to another announcement.

You can set a maximum queue length in a group to anywhere from 0 to 200 calls, and establish a queue warning level. If the preset maximum queue length is reached, additional incoming calls are redirected to a call-coverage path (if administered), ensuring that calls are routed to an extension that will answer or give a busy signal. A priority-queuing feature allows you to designate which calls should receive priority; these calls override the standard first-in-first-out queuing pattern.
