The Revise Limits window appears. On the Voice tab, specify values in the following fields. | Field | Description |
|---|
| Pacing Method | The following options are available: #/Agent: This method sets the line usage based on the number of lines dialed for each agent in the Ready state. | Tip |
|---|
- This is the recommended pacing method for outbound services, especially if 10 or fewer agents are in the Ready state.
- This option does not appear for inbound, SMS, and unattended services.
|
Abandon Rate: This method sets the line usage based on the calculation of the number of abandoned calls versus the number of calls that are connected to agents. LiveVox then determines the optimal time to launch calls in order to achieve the targeted abandon rate. | Tip |
|---|
- This is the recommended pacing method if more than 10 agents are in the Ready state.
- This option appears for a basic service.
|
Max CIP: This method sets the line usage based on the number of lines to be dialed, regardless of the number of agents who are signed into the service or are in the Ready state. | Tip |
|---|
You must use this pacing method only for an unattended service. |
| | Throttle | Determines how the pacing method is applied. By default, this field contains a value determined by LiveVox. You can, however, adjust the limit for each pacing method upward or downward to enable more calls to be launched or limit the number of calls that can be launched. For the #/Agent pacing method, this field indicates the maximum number of calls to be launched for every available agent. | Info |
|---|
If the value in this field is 10, and if five agents are in the Ready state, 50 calls are launched. |
For the Abandon Rate pacing method, this field indicates the allowed abandonment rate for calls. | Info |
|---|
If the value in this field is 5, the allowed abandonment rate is 5%. |
For the Max CIP pace method, this field indicates the maximum number of calls to be launched, regardless of the number of available agents. | Info |
|---|
If the value in this field is 50, 50 calls are launched. |
| | Max Wait | Maximum amount of time that an outbound or inbound call can be placed on hold. By default, when a call exceeds this value, a message is played to the recipient of the call and the call is terminated. You can, however, define how you want to handle a call that exceeds this value by using the Contact Flow (for example, post-call survey, self-service payment, or voicemail). | On the SMS tab, specify a value in the Max SMS Per Second field, which indicates the maximum number of SMSes that can be sent per second.
| Note |
|---|
For HTI service, the number of messages sent by an agent is controlled by the 10-Digit Long Code (DLC) Short Message Service (SMS) number type, which is a 3 SMS per second throughput. |

|---|
- While having more agents on calls is a positive outcome, consider checking your call abandonment rate to ensure that you have not inadvertently dropped too many calls to keep your agents as busy as you require.
- An average Number of calls with agents that is below normal for your call center indicates that you are dialing too slowly (under pacing), resulting in a low abandonment rate.
|
On Hold: Line chart of the average number of calls that agents have placed on hold for the last hour (in increments of fifteen minutes). | Info |
|---|
- An average number of calls on hold that is above normal for your call center indicates that you are dialing too rapidly (over pacing).
- An average number of calls on hold that is below normal for your call center indicates you are dialing too slowly (under pacing).
|
| Info |
