Figure 6: Enterprise and Peripheral Skill Groups
On Lucent DEFINITY ECS ACDs running in EAS mode, and on
Rockwell Galaxy ACDs, each skill group has primary and secondary
subgroups. The ICR emulates this by automatically creating additional
skill groups for these peripheral types. For example, if you configured a
HelpDesk skill group for a Galaxy ACD, the ICR would automatically
create HelpDesk.Pri and HelpDesk.Sec skill groups in addition to the
base HelpDesk skill group.
In routing and reporting, you can reference the .Pri and .Sec skill groups
directly or you can refer to the base skill group. In Figure 6, the base
skill groups are Denver.HelpDesk, Boston.HelpDesk, and
Dallas.HelpDesk. These base skill groups include the .Pri and .Sec
HelpDesk skill groups configured on the ACD. These base skill groups
can be combined to form the enterprise skill group, HelpDesk, which
would include all HelpDesk skill groups across the enterprise.
