Agent Staffing

Agent staffing provides the ability to mass assign Agents to a queue, update their priority or skill level, change their ACD states, and assign Agents to supervisors within the queue.

Adding New Agents

1. Select the Actions Icon and Add Agents Icon

2. Locate and select agents in the advanced search by Call Center, Supervisor, Location or Department.  Save.

3. Newly added agents will appear on the Agent Staffing page.

4. The following icon indicates that the agent is joined to the queue and ready to take calls if in an available state.  If the agent does not have this icon next to their name, they must be joined to the queue to receive calls if in an available state.

Update Agent Priority Levels

An Agent’s priority level can be adjusted when the hunting type is set to Regular, Circular, or Weighted for a Priority Routing queue.  The order in which the Agents are listed will determine how and when the calls are routed to each Agent.

1. On the Agent Staffing page drag and drop the agents to adjust their priority level.  Save.



Update Agent Skill Levels

Skills-based routing gives call centers granular control over which Agents will receive specific call types.  Agents with the highest skill level will receive queued calls first.  If those agents are not available the system will look to the next highest skilled agent and so on until the call is answered.  Skill levels are based on a 1-20 scale, 1 being the highest skill level and 20 being the lowest. An Agent’s skill level can be adjusted for any queue configured for Skills-Based Routing.

1. In the Agent Staffing click and highlight all the Agents that need their skill level updated.

2. Select the Actions Icon and Update Skill Level Icon

3. The Update Skill level pop up will open.  Enter in the new skill level.  Save.
