Agent administration
Assign skills to each agent. In addition, assign a skill level to each skill for the agent. When
a vector routes incoming calls to a skill, the call is delivered to an available agent with the
skill assigned. If no agents are available, the call is queued until it can be answered by an
agent who has the skill required to handle the call.
Agent selection
The administered agent selection method and Call Handling Preference determine which
agent will receive an incoming call.
Agent selection method
EAS can use either Uniform Call Distribution (UCD) or Expert Agent Distribution (EAD) to
select agents for calls. Both methods can use the Most-Idle Agent (MIA) or the Least
Occupied Agent (LOA) algorithm to select agents. For more information on agent selection
methods, see
Automatic Call Distribution
on page 77.
Call handling preference administration
The call handling preference selected on the Agent Login ID form can route calls based on
either greatest need or agent skill level. The following table summarizes how a call is
routed based on greatest need or agent skill level administration with either UCD or EAD
distribution..

Agents are available. When a
new call arrives it is delivered
to:
EAD - Most-idle agent with the
highest skill level for the calls’
skill.

level skill with calls in queue.
