Break Time

Break Time is a time period for agents to complete paperwork after they

 

 

 

finish a call. After an agent completes a call, they are taken out of the

 

 

 

skillset for the Break Time. The agent can extend or cancel the Break Time

 

 

 

by using the Not Ready Feature Code. For more information, refer to “Not

 

 

 

Ready” on page 31. The Break Time period can last from 00:00 to 59:59.

 

 

 

The Break Time defaults is 00:30 seconds. You can change the Break

 

 

 

Time period to 00:00 if an agent does not need a Break Time.

 

 

 

If your Call Center uses Activity Codes, set the Break Time to longer than

 

 

 

10 seconds to allow time for Activity Code entry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Delay Answer

Delay Answer is a toll-saving feature that prevents Call Center from

 

 

 

answering calls and playing greetings when there are no agents available.

 

 

 

When a call comes in on a line belonging to a skillset that has no free

 

 

 

agents, the call is not answered until either the Delay Answer time elapses

 

 

 

or an agent becomes available, whichever happens first. During the Delay

 

 

 

Answer time, the waiting callers hear ringback.

 

 

 

To activate the Delay Answer feature, enter a time for Delay Answer. The

 

 

 

Delay Answer time can be a minimum of zero seconds and a maximum of

 

 

 

10 minutes. The default Delay Answer time is 00:00.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Attendant extension

The attendant extension is the extension used if a caller requests to talk to

 

 

 

the operator after the caller transfers to the Automated Attendant or CCR.

 

 

 

The attendant extension is optional. If you do not assign an attendant

 

 

 

extension, the call is sent to the system attendant extension. If a call is

 

 

 

transferred to an Auto Attendant greeting table, the call is sent to the

 

 

 

greeting table attendant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Language preference

Language preference can be either Primary or Alternate. The language

 

 

 

preference is the language choice used for prompting callers who transfer

 

 

 

to the Automated Attendant or CCR. Language preference appears only on

 

 

 

a system that is configured as bilingual.

Initial Call Duration

The Initial Call Duration is used to compute expected wait time until

 

 

 

sufficient call statistics are obtained. This can be a value between 00:01:00

 

 

 

and 24:00:00.

on page 129.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Activity Code Entry Type

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.

 

 

 

For more information about Activity Codes see “Activity Codes” on page
