7.3.2. ICR Agent State Mapping To Peripherals

The ICR uses certain terms to describe the work states that agents move

in and out of while handling customer calls. Peripheral vendors use

slightly different terms to describe these same states.

Table 11 shows the ICR agent state terms and how they correspond to

the terms used by Aspect, Lucent, and Nortel.

1 Logged_In and Logged Out are not CMS agent states.
2 Logged Off is not an agent state, but rather a necessary condition for being in
any state.
3 Agents who are in Walkaway with a call on hold are counted as Ready.
4 These states occur only if ACAA is set for the ACD DN in LD 23. (ACAA
allows new ACD calls to an agent who has an Individual DN (IDN) call on
hold).
5 Agents in these states are counted as Talking In if the ACD line was the last
line active.
