Updating an Existing Queue with Agent Prioritization

RETURN TO THE AGENT QUEUE PRIORITIZATION PAGE

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. This guide shows you how to take an existing queue and apply call priority settings to that queue. 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.
