RETURN TO THE AGENT QUEUE PRIORITIZATION PAGE
The purpose of this guide is to explain how system administrators can create new call queues with the Agent Queue Prioritization feature enabled. A call queue is simply a group of Agents that are grouped together for a common purpose such as sales or service focused or grouped by what language they speak. Agents specializing in these different areas can be assigned to specific queues so when calls get presented to this group of Agents, they are better equipped to help the caller.

This feature Agent Queue Prioritization must be enabled by your system administrator. Depending on your company’s software or admin settings, you may not have access to Agent Prioritization.
Access
When you create a call queue with Agent Prioritization, the call priority settings apply to any call routes that use the queue. If a queue was created prior to the Agent Prioritization feature activated in your system, it doesn’t have any call priority settings. If you have an existing queue created prior to feature activation, you can use the same agents and create a new queue with prioritization assigned. See Updating an Existing Queue with Agent Prioritization for more information.
