Acquires the number of agents who are available to service a queue, the number of active agents, the number of callers in the queue, and the estimated queue wait time.

 

 

You can use this information to decide how to route contacts using a Select Case action cell. For example, you might choose not to route contacts to queues with no available agents, or no active agents, or queues with high wait times.

Description

Available Agents

Enter an integer variable if you want to store the number of agents who are available to service the queue.

Active Agents

Enter an integer variable if you want to store the number of agents who are in an active status. 

Agents who are in the 'Available' status or in a system-defined temporarily unavailable status such as 'On the Phone' and 'Wrap-up' are always deemed to be active. Agents in a custom user status such as 'Lunch' are active if that status is configured as 'Active' by the storm UC and CONTACT administrator. The concept of active is used for agents who are not currently available but, as they are servicing the queue, are expected to be available after a short time. Agents in the 'Unavailable', 'Available (Internal Only)' or 'Available (Direct Only)' system-defined status are always deemed to be inactive.

Queue Length

Enter an integer variable if you want to store the number of contacts who are waiting in the queue.

Estimated Wait Time

Enter a float variable if you want to store the current estimated wait time for the queue.
