Basic Options - Call Queues

Basic Settings

The basic section of the call queue settings allows users to name and select the extension number of a newly created call queue. 

Name

The Name field can be used to name the newly created call queue. 

Names of Extensions should avoid using special characters.

Extension

In the Extension field, type in the next available extension number to use for this queue. 

It is recommended to use an extension number in the 8000s. 

Please be sure to not use an extension number already in use by a different function or user. 

Department and Site

If necessary, a call queue can be sorted into a certain Department and Site.

Doing this can be useful for call center environments that rely heavily on call reporting and statistics as using departments and site can be helpful for filtering. 

Call Queue Type

To select what kind of call queue this new queue will be, fill in the bubble for that queue type in the Type section:

After selecting the queue's Type, more settings will become available for adjustment in the 
Basic tab.

Extra Options

After selecting the Ring Type for the call queue, the Basic tab will reveal extra options available for configuring the queue:

Call Queue Phone Number

If there is an available number in the Phone Numbers section of the Inventory, you can use the Phone Number dropdown box to select a phone number to designate to the call queue.

When a call queue is saved with a number, Primecall will automatically route that phone number in the Inventory to route to the call queue. 

  • A Note will also be added for that phone number that states the number is being used for a call queue and the queue's type:

Record Queue Calls


Using the Record Calls option, users can toggle on/off a call queue's ability to record calls. 

By default, the recording feature will be set to No

If the queue should have all calls recorded, use the Record Calls dropdown menu to select Yes

Statistics


Using the Statistics option, users can toggle on/off the recording of call statistics for that particular call queue. 

To turn off statistics reporting for that queue, switch the Statistics option from Yes to No.

Message to Agent

When creating a new queue, a message will be in the place of the options for adding a message to agent:

Once the queue has been completely created, clicking the Edit  button will show an updated Basic Options tab that reveals the ways to add in a Message to Agent:

The audio for the message to agent can be made using text-to-speech or Primecall' call to record feature. 

Text-To-Speech
