Call redirection criteria
Redirection criteria determine the conditions under which a call redirects from the
principal (called) extension to the first position in the coverage path. The criteria
and conditions that apply are as follows:
■Active
Redirects calls to coverage immediately when the principal is active on at
least one call appearance. For a phone with only one appearance or a
single-line extension, assign the Busy criterion (discussed below) instead
of the Active criterion.
■Busy
Redirects calls to coverage when all available call appearances at the
principal extension are in use. For multiappearance phones, one call
appearance can be reserved for outgoing calls or incoming priority calls
(discussed later). The remaining assigned call appearances are a v ailable for
other incoming calls. An incoming call (other than a priority call) redirects
to coverage only when all of these unreserved call appearances are in use.
If at least one unreserved call appearance is i d le at the principal extension,
the call remains at that idle appearance.
A Terminating Extension Group (TEG) is considered busy if any phone in
the group is active on a call.
Each phone in a UCD or DDC group must be active on at least one call
appearance for the call to redirect to coverage. If any phone in the group is
idle the call directs to that phone. If no phone is available, the call can
queue if queuing is provided. If queuing is not provided, then the call
routes to coverage. If the queue is full or all agents are in an auxili ary st ate,
the group is considered busy and the call routes to coverage. Queued calls
remain in queue for the Don’t Answer Interval.
A call will not cover to a hunt group if no agents are logged in, or if all
agents are in AuxWork mode.
■Don’t Answer
Redirects calls to coverage if unanswered during the assigned Don’t
Answer Interval. A call rings for the Don’t Answer In terval and then
redirects to coverage.
■Cover All Calls
Redirects all incoming calls to coverage. This criterion has preceden ce ove r
any other criterion previously assigned.
