Handling Telephony calls in On Demand mode

Making a call in On Demand mode

Make a call using the Agent Desktop. When working in On Demand mode, if you make a call by using the Agent Desktop, it has the following results:

the Offsite Agent server makes a call to your offsite phone and bridges it to the phone number you want to call

you will show up on your supervisor’s Real Time Display, and on subsequent reports, as being on a DN call

you do not need to make yourself Not Ready

the contact center pays the call tariff

Ensure that you follow the correct steps based on the type of telephone number you want to call:

an external telephone number

an internal telephone number

Prerequisites

Attention: If you have an active customer call on your set, you cannot originate another call. If you want to consult with a supervisor or another agent, then you must use the conference feature. See Using the conference feature to consult a colleague (page 40).
