Set up General Settings of each Inbox
General Settings
- Name: This is the name you set for your inbox. It can be edited as well
- Priority: The priority of queues determines which call is assigned to agents if they have several incoming calls at the same time
- Inbox extension: It is the code used for transferring calls among different queues
- Wrap up time (seconds): Allocating a ‘wrap up’ period at the end of each call gives agents time to fill in surveys and record any important details about the call
- SLA threshold (seconds): Calls answered within this threshold to fulfil the SLA
- Abandoned threshold (seconds): This metric will help to distinguish if the caller hangs up after the threshold (That particular call will be identified as an Abandoned Call)

Manage Agents for each Inbox
Agent Management
Ring time per agent (seconds): Here you can set up the maximum ring time for each agent. Default value is 15 seconds
Ring mode: This determines the way of distributing incoming calls to a group of agents or extensions. Ring mode specifies the order in which the agents or extensions are alerted or rung when a call arrives
-
Round Robin (Circle Ring): Calls are distributed evenly among the team. The queue has multiple agents and incoming calls will route to them sequentially.
Just add agents in the order that you want them to ring. When a call comes in, each agent is rung in order, one after another. However, the last agent used is remembered. The next call received rings the next agent in the list. - Ring All (Simultaneous Ring): When a call comes in, all users in the Extension List ring simultaneously.
- Proficiency Level: The incoming call will be assigned to the agent with the highest proficiency. For example: Agents 116, 150, and 110 have proficiency 1, 3, and 2, respectively. The incoming call will be assigned as this order 150 > 110 > 116.
- Sticky Agent: When there is an incoming call to the Call Center, the first time, system will round-robin among the available agents to assign the call. The second time onwards, the call will be transferred to the last assigned agent. If after X number of times, the agent misses the call or is unavailable to answer, the system will round-robin among the available agents to assign the call. Moreover, if the caller does not want to wait, they have the option to leave a Voicemail or trigger a Callback.
- Longest Idle (Uniform Ring): When a call comes in, the extension that has been unused for the longest period rings first, then the extension that has been idle second-longest rings, etc.
Longest Idle Logic
The longest idle is counted by the end time of the call.
For example:
● Agent 1 receives call at 7:00 and ends the call at 7:10
● Agent 2 receives call at 7:05 and ends the call at 7:08
● The next call comes in at 7:15
=> The call rings Agent 2 (idle time 7 minutes) not Agent 1 (idle time 5 minutes)
The longest idle is reset whenever the agent status changes from Available to any other status and start to count again when switches to Available, either by the agent (at Agent status) or by the supervisor (at CommHub > Users)
For example:
● Agent 1 switch from Busy to Available at 7:08
● Agent 2 switch from Away to Available at at 7:10
● The next call comes in at 7:15
=> The call rings Agent 1 (idle time 7 minutes) not Agent 2 (idle time 5 minutes)
Agent: Here you'll select the agents that you would like to assign to the queue. Only those agents will be displayed who are assigned the Contact Center license
