102 Chapter 8 Setting up agents

Agent priority

When you add agents to Call Center you assign them a priority that

 

represents their level of qualification. The priority can be used to determine

 

which of your agents receives an incoming call. The agent priority ranges

 

from 1 to 20. 1 is the highest agent priority for the most qualified agents.

 

The default value is 10.

 

If you use Enhanced Call Center you can assign agents Dynamic Priority

 

when you assign them to a skillset. With Dynamic Priority, agents can have

 

different priorities depending on which skillset they are logged onto. For

 

example, when an agent is a member of the English skillset, their priority

 

can be 1 because they are fluent in English. The same agent can have a

 

priority of 3 when they are logged onto the Spanish skillset and, a priority of

 

6 when they are logged onto the German skillset.

 

 

Activity Codes

Activity Code entry types are Prompted and Optional. If you select

 

Prompted, the agent is prompted to enter Activity Codes on their telephone.

 

If you select Optional, an Activity Code session is not automatically

 

displayed on the agent’s telephone, but they can press F907 and enter

 

Activity Codes.

 

Optional is the default. If you do not have Call Center Reporting enabled on

 

your system, this setting does not appear.
