enabled, when an agent gets a call the call assistant dialog will popup
giving the agent a last chance to accept, reject, transfer or send the call
to voicemail (shown in

Figure 23

Wrap-up time Shows the amount of time in seconds allowed to wrap-up an

active call. If set to 0 seconds, then wrap up is not an option for this

agent.

Rejection time Shows the maximum amount of time allowed for an agent to

Reject a call if call rejection is enabled. After this time, if the agent has
not responded, then the call will automatically be rejected. A value of

zero means that the agent will not have an opportunity to reject calls.

Restrictions Shows the skills assigned to specific agent mailboxes. Agents

without special skills listed are assumed to be able to take calls that do
not have any special skill requirements.

Supervisor Shows if the agent is a supervisor.

Priority Level Shows the priority level of each agent. Agents with the highest

priority get calls transferred to them first (0 is the highest priority, then

1, 2, etc. ).

The buttons at the bottom of the dialog box allow you to take the following
actions:

Close This button closes the agent list window.

Refresh This button updates the current information in the agent list window

based on changes due to call queue/agent activity.

Settings This button allows the call queue administrator (the creator of the call

queue) or a queue supervisor to modify agent settings on a per-agent
basis. An example of the resulting pop-up dialog box is shown in

Figure

, and it’s discussed in Subsection 8.2.

Assign Call This button allows the agent to assign a particular agent to a

waiting call. The agent doing the assignment must have the “Call
Assignment” privilege. A dialog box similar to that shown in

Figure 21

will pop up to allow the agent to select what call should be routed to the
selected agent, or otherwise have its state modified (primarily, sending

the call to Voicemail; selecting “Hold” is normally appropriate only for
personal call queues).

Add This button is used to add new agent mailboxes to a call queue. Only the

call queue administrator (the queue mailbox) or a supervisor can add

agents to the queue . When adding a mailbox, a mailbox list dialog will
appear (as seen in

Figure 21

), select the mailboxes you wish to add from
