The list of service groups is available in the General tab. Each service group can represent a call center, book of business, or custom routing logic you have designed. The attributes of a service group include:

• ID: A unique system-assigned number. 
• Name: The description assigned to the SG, which is used to identify it from other SGs.
• Distribution: This indicates the interaction channel type. For example, 'Call' is for voice interactions.
• Type: Each SG can have one type assigned that, in combination with the agent skill system, further determines how calls are prioritized agent-over-agent. Types include:
  • LONGEST_AVAILABLE_AGENT: If no agents with the required skill set are available, the call is transferred to the most senior available agent in the same service group regardless of skill. Once the configured Service Max Wait Time is reached, the call is routed to the exit or failure path, as configured in the message template.
  • STRICT_CLASSIFICATION: If no agents with the required skill set are available, the call is routed to the exit or failure path, as configured in the message template. Also, once the configured Service Max Wait Time is reached, the call is routed to the exit or failure path, as configured in the message template.
  • STRICT_OVERFLOW: If no agents with the required skill set are available to take the call, it is placed on hold until the maximum hold time (configured in the template) is reached. You can configure the ACD Max Wait Time Proficiency (1-10) in the message template. This parameter controls how long a call remains on hold, while waiting for an agent to become available with the corresponding skill set. After the required wait time, the system expands the target selection to include all agents in the service group, regardless of skill set and the call is bridged to the most senior available agent. If no agents are available, the system continues searching until an agent becomes available (not considering the max hold time).
  • UNIFORM_DISTRIBUTION: Clicker Agents assigned to HCI or 10DMT services that are configured with this type of service group can initiate outbound calls on HCI or 10DMT services. A maximum of 10 services are recommended for optimal performance with this service group type.
• Enabled: Sets the service group as enabled (routing rules defined in the SG are applied) or disabled (routing rules not applied).

Mapping by service establishes which services an agent can be logged into to receive the service group's generated inbound or outbound traffic.
