Assigning an agent to a skillset

You can assign an agent to one or more skillsets. Each agent is responsible for answering calls for the skillsets they are assigned to.

Note: Before you can add an agent to a skillset, the skillset must be disabled. For how to disable a skillset see “Disabling a skillset” on page 59.

Dynamic Agent Priority

If you use Call Center Professional on Business Communications Manager, agents can have different priorities depending upon which skillset they are logged on to. 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 on to the Spanish skillset and, a priority of 6 when they are logged on to the German skillset.

If the method of call distribution for the skillset is Preferred, the agent with the highest priority receives the 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. For more information about method of call distribution refer to “Method” on page 44.
