GENERAL DESCRIPTION
After-Call Availability allows a split to be assigned to either Automatic-Available mode or Automatic-Work mode.
This is referred to as the after-call work mode.
In Automatic-Available mode, a position becomes available to receive new ACD calls immediately upon discon-
necting from the previous call. In Automatic-Work mode, a position is unavailable to receive ACD calls after dis-
connecting from the previous call. Automatic-Work mode allows the agent time to perform miscellaneous activities
that may be associated with the ACD call.
After-call work mode may have a time limit which will automatically force the position to Available mode upon
expiration.
The after-call mode and optional Work Timeout are set on a per-split basis through the ACD PCPro or a MIS termi-
nal. Agents may change their after-call mode during an ACD call.
