    Transfer settings

    Transfer string limit length

    The length of an applet transfer string and the maximum length of a short code. The default length is 4.

    For information about applet transfer strings, see Configuring applet transfer strings.

    For information about short codes, see Configuring short codes.


    Transfer wrap time (seconds)

    The time in seconds that an agent spends in Wrap Up (Auto) after transferring a call. Transfer wrap time (seconds) is an account-level setting.

    The default value is 5.

    Outbound settings



    Outbound time-out (seconds, maximum 180)

    When an agent makes an outbound call, VCC tries to connect the agent to the target agent, short code, queue, and interaction plan for the number of seconds you specify in Outbound time-out. The default is 15 seconds.


    Outbound wrap time (seconds)When an agent completes a call, they go into the Wrap Up (Auto) state after making an outbound call for the number of seconds you specify in Outbound wrap time. The default is 180 seconds. The agent can use this time to make notes about the previous call, for example.

    Post wrap state/Post call state

    After the agent leaves the Wrap Up (Auto) state at the end of a completed call, the agent goes into the state that you specify in Post wrap state/Post call state.

    Available options are:

    • Ready
    • Ready (Offline)
    • Leave Unchanged. The agent goes back into their pre-call state when they complete their outbound call.

      Note
      titleSalesforce only
      This option works only with calls made using Click to dial or Connect in Salesforce. If an agent makes an outbound call using the Make Call button in ContactPad, they go into Ready (Offline) state when they complete the call.


    The default is Ready. For information about agent states, see Configuring agent states.

    Consult settings



    No answer time-out (seconds, maximum 180)When an agent clicks to consult with a third-party during a call, VCC attempts to connect the call to the specified agent or telephone number. VCC attempts to connect the call for the number of seconds you specify in No answer time-out. The default is 45 seconds. After this time the consult times out and an error message appears in ContactPad. Allowed values are in inclusive range from 5 seconds to 180 seconds.
    Interaction capacities

    Interaction capacities indicate the percentage of an agent's capacity used by each interaction type. You can configure these percentages at account level here or, if enabled for your account, for individual agents in User Admin. For information about configuring capacity used by different interaction types, see the How do I set interaction capacity for an agent user? section in Configuring individual users.

    Info
    titleExample


    FieldValue
    Live (e.g. Phone) [51-100]51
    Non-Live (e.g. Case) [1-100]20
    Semi-Live (e.g. Chat) [1-100]33

    Using the values above, an agent can work on the following combinations of interactions at the same time:

    • One live and two non-live (51% + 40% = 91% capacity)
    • One live and one semi-live (51% + 33% = 81% capacity)
    • One semi-live and three non-live (33% + 60% = 93% capacity)
    • Two semi-live and one non-live (66% + 20% = 86% capacity)
    • Five non-live (100% capacity)
    • Three semi-live (99% capacity)



    Live interactions (such as calls)[51-100]

    The

    capacity of

    percentage of an agent's capacity used by a live interaction, such as a phone call.

    Default value is 100.

    Info
    The minimum agent capacity
    of
    used by a live interactions is 51. This minimum ensures that an agent can never simultaneously work on
    more than one live interaction at the same time
    multiple live interactions. The agent can, however, work on semi- or non-live interactions while working on a live interaction. The number and type of other interactions depends on the percentage of agent capacity used by other interaction types
    ' capacity
    .


    Note

    If you try to set live interaction capacity to a value lower than 51, you get an error message and are not able to save your settings.



    Semi-live interactions (such as chats)[1-100]

    The

    capacity of

    percentage of an agent's capacity used by a semi-live interaction, such as

    an email

    a webchat.

    Default value is 100 or 33, depending on your account settings.

    Info

    If set to 100 and an agent is working on a semi-live interaction, the agent cannot work on any other interactions as the semi-live interaction will use up all their capacity.



    Non-live interactions (such as cases)[1-100]

    The

    capacity of

    percentage of an agent's capacity used by a non-live interaction, such as

    a web chat

    an email.

    Default value is 100 or 25, depending on your account settings.

    Info
    If set to 100 and an agent is working on a non-live interaction, the agent cannot work on any other interactions as the non-live interaction will use up all their capacity.


    Optimum load



    Optimum load

    The ideal capacity that an agent's assigned interactions should consume. VCC preferentially routes interactions to agents whose assigned interactions consume closest to but less than their optimum load. 

    Default value is 65.


    Maximum idle time

    Maximum time that agents able to handle interactions can be idle. An idle agent is one that is available but not working on any interactions. If any potential agents have been idle for longer than the configured time, VCC temporarily disables optimum load and routes the interactions accordingly.

    Default value is 30 minutes.

    Account location



    LocationThe location of the call center.

    Number display format

    The format in which VCC displays phone numbers, for example, in ContactPad. The setting also affects the display of callback numbers for calls routed by the Call Connect Router applet. Numbers in Salesforce when using VCC in Salesforce also use this setting. For information on where this format is used in VCC in Salesforce, see Telephone number formats in Vonage Contact Center in Salesforce.
