Queue Management
16-30 AltiContact Manager Administration Manual
Note:
If enabled, the system will prompt the current queue status when a
a new call enters the queue; also, average waiting time is not
announced for calls queued for less than 1 minute.
Queue Overflow Routing
The Queue Overflow Routing options are for handling long queues or long
wait times for callers. When a queue exceeds a set number of calls, or
callers are waiting beyond a set length of time, calls are automatically
forwarded to an IVR, voicemail box, extension, group, application
extension, or operator.
To set options for handling call overflow:
1. In the Queue Overflow Handling field group, set options for:
• Queue call not to exceed X calls - (set number of calls)
IMPORTANT!
If queue call is set to zero (0), queue overflow routing will always
be in effect.
• Expected waiting time longer than X minutes - (set minutes)
• Service level lower than X % - (set percent level)
You can set one, some or all of these.
Note:
The expected waiting time is calculated by
(AverageCallHandleTime x Posit 59) / 60
AverageCallHandleTime = TotalWorkgroupCallDuration x
1.05 / (TotalCall x TotalLoginAgent)
Initial Expected Wait Time is configurable from 1 to 10
minutes.
StartCalculationCallCount is configurable from 1 to 100 calls.
2. Set a call forwarding destination if the queue length, wait time or
service level settings are exceeded. If this option is not enabled, calls
will go to the workgroup’s voicemail.
Note:
If you choose an extension, this can be the same workgroup
extension or another workgroup.
You can use Apply to to apply the configuration to one, some, or all
workgroups.
