Note

Notes:

...

  • Round Robin: the next agent is selected on the list following the individual that received the last incoming call
  • Call All 32: all available agents are called simultaneously until one answers (no user features processed)

    Note

    Notes:

    • Available for all devices including Web ZD and mobile apps (it is possible to disable push notifications for mobile apps, see details in the Example of the Dialplan procedure for managing Call group calls)
    • This strategy supports up to 32 users (previously it supported up to 32 devices and each device of CG member was counted)
    • The current delay between CG members equals 20ms to achieve almost simultaneous ringing


    Warning

    Limitations:

    • User preferences (call forwarding etc) are not processed when this strategy is used (they are turned off)
    • Feature is not available on old HW PBX
    • When Call All 32 strategy is used, it is not possible to pick up a ringing call using the pickup group feature. Documentation: Call and Pickup Groups


  • Longest Idle: the agent who answered the call the longest time ago is called
  • Fewest Calls: call the agent who has the lowest number of answered calls
  • Linear: agents are called sequentially starting from the first member on the list until an earlier person is no longer on the phone
    • dynamically added users are called in the order in which they are added

15 - Default priority for dynamic users (appears if you set "Priority" strategy) - set priority for dynamically added call group members

1516 - Exit if all members: if all Call group members are unavailable (busy, paused/wrap up, ringing) at the time when a new incoming call is placed to the queue, the system proceeds to execution of the next application of Dialplan procedure used for managing Call group calls  

...

Note

Note: It is possible to exit from the queue and change Dialplan procedure using the function QUEUE_MEMBER:

  • Jump to if -> "${QUEUE_MEMBER(<call_group_id>,free)}"="0"

Detailed information can be found in Smart Dialplan - use of Custom Applications.

Configure Autofill for Call group calls via Dialplan

Starting from WMS 6.04.20231012.1, it is possible to configure Autofill option for Call group calls via Dialplan. With Autofill enabled, calls to a Call group are distributed to available agents simultaneously. When disabled, calls are delivered in a serial manner. By default, Autofill is enabled for all call group strategies except Call All 10/32. In some cases, in busy environments with many incoming calls, with Autofill enabled the call that arrived earlier, could be delivered to an agent later than other calls.

To disable Autofill, modify the Dialplan procedure used for the group, by adding Custom application -> SET(AUTOFILL_QUEUE=false). For more details, see Dialplan applications - Admin Guide

Note

Note: The setting is applied to calls that come via the Dialplan in which the setting is configured (not the whole queue).

Prioritize calls to a user belonging to different call groups by the longest waiting time
