This is where we will set limits on the number of calls that can be in the queue at one time, how long the calls will sit in the queue and other basic and escalation behaviors.

  1. Set the Call Limit. ( If the call limit is 0, the number of calls that can enter the queue is infinite (or limited to incoming trunk limitations).)
  2. Set the Queue Timeout. (Maximum Queue timeout is 7200 seconds or 120 minutes)
  3. The Time out Immediately if Empty toggle will route calls to a callflow/escalation/voicemail, if there are no agents logged into the queue.
    • Note: The queue is not considered Empty if an agent in a queue is Globally in an Away state or on a call.
  4. Zero(0) out to callflow: If this feature is toggled on, callers will be able to press 0 to be routed to an Advanced Call Flow, Device, User, VM Box, Directory, or Group (per Smart PBX Configuration) selected from the drop-down list provided.
  5. Display Agents to other Agents: This is useful so agents can note the status of the rest of the team, for example if others are away.  If enabled, Agents can see other Agents who are members of the queue on the Queue Details page, Members tab.
  6. Record all calls in this queue: If turned on all calls will be recorded by default.  Alternatively, you can set recording options for individual agents under the Call Center Members tab.
    • Note: This setting requires the Call Recording application/feature to be enabled on the account.
  7. Escalation Queue: Thiswill determine what happens if a call reaches the timeout limit in the current Queue. Admins and Managers will be able to see all existing Queues.
    • Note: This can be updated later if the escalation queue has not been built yet.
  8. Escalation Callflow after Timeout: If enabled with a destination, a call in Queue is timed out to the Escalation Queue, and if the call is not answered within the Escalation Queue Timeout (set in that Queue), the call will be redirected to the following Call flow Destination (Advanced Call Flow, Device, User, VM Box, Directory, or Group (per Smart PBX Configuration)).
  9. Once everything is set as desired, click Next.
