M-90A MULTI-SPLIT AGENT - ACD
The splits that an agent can handle are not based solely on the agent’s logon ID. A combination of three factors de-
termines which splits a specific agent, at a specific position, can handle. The three factors and their associated vari-
ables follow.
1. The splits allowed by the agent’s logon ID, which can be a list of one to sixteen specific splits, or any split.
2. The splits allowed by the position, which can be one specific split or any split.
3. The split mode allowed by the agent’s logon ID, which can be single-split or multi-split.
The ensuing paragraphs describe the scenarios associated with each possible combination of the three factors. While
examining these scenarios, it would be beneficial to reference the table “Valid Logon ID/Position Combinations”.
The table’s horizontal axis describes the agent’s logon ID (split mode and allowed splits) and the vertical axis de-
scribes the position’s allowed splits. The intersection presents the split mode in which the agent will operate and the
split or splits the agent will service (indicated with lower-case letters in parentheses).
The single-split mode scenarios will be examined first.
An agent, in single-split mode, whose logon ID lists one to sixteen allowable splits can log on to a position with a
single specified split (which matches one of the agent’s logon ID splits) or a position with any split allowed. As an
example, an agent’s logon ID specifies the splits 2,5,8 and 12. The agent can log on at a position that specifies one
of those splits (2, 5, 8 or 12). Alternatively, the agent can log on to a position that allows any split. During the logon
procedure, the splits in the logon ID list are displayed sequentially. The agent indicates the single split of choice by
entering 1#; entering # indicates that this is not the split of choice. The agent’s split defaults, such as the after-call
mode and the answer mode, will be the defaults associated with the single split that is chosen.
An agent, in single-split mode, whose logon ID permits any split can only logon at a position that permits a single
specified split. The agent will take calls from the single split and the agent’s split defaults will be the defaults asso-
ciated with that split.
An agent, in single-split mode, whose logon ID allows any split is not permitted to log on at a position that allows
any split. This combination would force the ACD system to begin to sequentially prompt the agent with the name
of every split in the system, until the agent selected the single split in which they wish to work. This is not an effec-
tive use of agents’ time.
The multi-split mode scenarios will now be examined.
An agent, in multi-split mode, is not permitted to have a logon ID which allows any split. This combination would
force the ACD system to begin to sequentially prompt the agent with the name of every split in the system, until the
agent selected the splits in which they wish to work. As in the previous case, this is not an effective use of agents’
time.
If taken together, the last scenario of the single-split mode (an agent’s logon ID allows any split, the agent is not
permitted to log on at a position which allows any split), and the first scenario of the multi-split mode (an agent’s
logon ID which allows any split is not permitted), the following ACD condition is the result. If an agent’s logon ID
allows any split, then the agent will automatically be put into single-split mode and will not be allowed to log on at
a position which allows any split.
An agent, in multi-split mode, whose logon ID allows a list of specific splits can log on at a position that allows a
single specified split (where the split matches one of the allowed splits in the agent’s logon ID list) or at a position
that allows any split. In both cases, the agent will automatically be allowed to handle calls from every split in the
agent’s logon ID list. As an example, the agent’s logon ID list allows splits 2, 5 and 8. The agent logs on at a position
