titleService Group Attributes

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

  • ID: This is a unique system-assigned number. You do not need this number.
  • Name: The description assigned to the SG, used to distinguish 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 at all times 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 proper agent skill are available to take the call, it will be transferred to the longest available agent in the same service group regardless of skill. Once the configured Service Max Wait Time is reached, the call will take the exit or failure path as configured in the message template.
    • STRICT_CLASSIFICATION: If no agents with the proper agent skill are available to take the call the call is put on hold until an agent with proper skill becomes available. Hold time can be , then the call will take the exit or failure path as configured in the message template. Once the maximum hold time Also, once the configured Service Max Wait Time is reached, the call will be terminatedtake the exit or failure path as configured in the message template.
    • STRICT_OVERFLOW: If no agents with the proper skill are available to take the call, it will be put on hold until the maximum hold time (configured in the template) is reached. ACD Max Wait Time Proficiency (1-10) can be configured in the message template which controls how long a call will remain on hold, waiting for an agent to become available with the corresponding agent skill and proficiency level. At this time, the system will expand the target selection to include all agents regardless of agent skill in the service group and the call will be bridged to the longest available agent. If no agents are available, the system will continue searching until one becomes available (no more not considering the max hold time action).
    • UNIFORM_DISTRIBUTION: Clicker agents assigned to strict Strict HCI or 10DMT services which are configured with this type of Service Group will be able to initiate outbound calls on those configured strict Strict HCI or 10DMT services.
  • Enabled: Sets the service group as enabled (routing rules defined in the SG are applied) or disabled (routing rules not applied).
