Example 3: The second agent enters an Activity Code

Break Time

Break Time is a skillset property that gives agents an interval to complete tasks related to the

previous call. When Break Time starts, if a call is Prompted and the agent did enter an Activity

Code during the call, an ≤·‚‡ session starts on the agent’s telephone. The session

remains for two minutes unless the agent ends the session by entering an Activity Code, releasing

the session, or taking another call.

At the end of Break Time:

• if a call is Optional and the agent did not enter an Activity Code, Call Center system records

the No Peg System Activity Code.

• If a call is Prompted and the agent did not enter an Activity Code, the ≤·‚‡ session

exits and Call Center records the No Peg System Activity Code.

If an agent enters an Activity Code, whether Prompted or Optional, that does not cover the entire

talk time of the call, Call Center autopegs the last Activity Code the agent entered for the

remainder of the talk time.

If an agent enters an Activity Code as their B reak Time is ending, it is possible that Call Ce nter

will not record the Activity Code, and will record the No Peg System Activity Code instead.

Time Activity. Peg time

9:00 Start of call 1

9:07 Agent 1 transfers the call to agent 2. As soon as Agent 1 transfers the

call, a prompted F907 session starts on their telephone. If agent 1 does

not enter an Activity Code before the end of the Active Peg period, Call

Center records the No Peg System Activity Code for 7 minutes.

9:10 Agent 2 enters Activity Code 2 3 minutes

9:15 End of call. If agent 2 does not enter another Activity Code by the end of

the Active Peg period, Call Center Autopegs 5 minutes for Activity Code

2.

Note: For an example of transfer to a non-agent, see “Example 4: Non Agent” on page

199.

Note: If the Break Time is 0, a F907 session never automatically starts on an agent’s

telephone, even if the agent is Prompted for Activity Codes. Make sure the Break Time is

longer than 10 seconds to allow time for Activity Code entry.

For more information about Break Time properties for a skillset, refer to “Break Time” on

page 45.
