Agent Features

AN ACD system distributes incoming calls evenly to all agents that are logged into the system. Agents are divided into groups working under the guidance of a supervisor. As an agent, you are responsible for answering calls that have been directed to your ACD group and presented at your position.

This part of the guide explains how to:

- log in and out of the ACD system - answer ACD calls - put calls on hold - call your supervisor - use the Line of Business feature - deal with an emergency call - use the Not Ready key for post-call processing - display the queue threshold.

Logging in

To act as an agent and receive ACD calls you must first log into the system. At the start of the log-in procedure the Make Busy indicator should be on. If the indicator is blinking, press Make Busy until the indicator comes on steadily.

To log in:

1. Press

2. Lift the handset or plug in your headset. The In Calls indicator comes on and you hear special dial tone (a lower note and a higher note repeated alternately).

3. Key your 4-digit log-in ID. The digits appear on the display as you key them.

If your installation uses passwords, you will hear special dial tone again and you should key your 4-digit password. Your supervisor will tell you if a password is required. The digits of your password will not be displayed as you key them.

After successful entry of a log-in ID (and password, if required) the In Calls and Make Busy indicators go out, the display clears, and the Not Ready indicator comes on.

1. When you are ready to begin receiving ACD calls press Not Ready. The Not Ready indicator goes out.

Logging out

At the end of your shift you should log out from the ACD system.

To log out, press Make Busy. The Make Busy indicator comes on and you are logged out of the ACD system. No ACD calls or non-ACD calls will be presented to your telephone while the Make Busy indicator is on.

If you wish to receive non-ACD calls, press Make Busy a second time. The indicator starts to blink. Non-ACD calls may be received on line keys when the Make Busy indicator is blinking.

If you press Make Busy while active on an ACD call, you will be logged out when the call is released.

Note: If a call is presented to your station and it is not answered within a specified number of rings, your telephone will automatically go into Make Busy mode.

Answering ACD calls

ACD calls are presented to your telephone on the Ⓞ key (the bottom key on your telephone). When an ACD call is received, the In Calls indicator flashes and you hear a short ring from the telephone. If you are using a headset you hear a short tone through the earpiece.

The Ⓞ key is used only to answer ACD calls. The other features part of this guide explains how to make and answer non-ACD calls.

To answer the ACD call, press 📄. The In Calls indicator comes on and you are connected to the caller.

Note: At some sites the telephones are programmed to answer ACD calls automatically. Your supervisor will tell you if your ACD system works like this. If it does, you are connected to the caller immediately after the telephone rings without having to press 📄.

At the end of the call press RIs (or hang up the handset if no headset is connected).

Agent Features: continued

Putting an ACD call on hold

To put a call on hold while you look up information or consult your supervisor press Hold. The In Calls indicator starts to flash quickly.

To return to the held call, press 📞 again.

Calls may also be put on hold automatically if, for example, you press the Supervisor key to call your supervisor or press a line key to make another call.

You can switch back and forth between an ACD call and a non-ACD call by pressing the appropriate key: ☐ for the ACD call and Supervisor or the line key for the non-ACD call.

Calling your supervisor

The Supervisor key is used to call your supervisor and to answer any calls your supervisor makes to you. You can also call your supervisor by pressing a line key and dialling the appropriate extension number.

To call your supervisor while active on an ACD call:

Agent Features: continued

Line of Business key

This optional feature allows a Line of Business (LOB) code to be entered for each call that you answer. These codes will be predefined for your system and will allow tracking of such items as the number of calls of a specific type and the holding times for these calls. Up to three LOB codes may be entered for each ACD call. Your supervisor will tell you if this feature is used at your site.

To enter an LOB code while active on an ACD call press , then key the appropriate digits to reflect the type of call being handled. The digits are displayed on your telephone.

Note: If you make a mistake while entering a LOB code, pressing a second time clears the display and allows you to enter the correct code.

Emergency calls

The Emergency key lets you call for assistance if you receive an abusive, threatening or urgent ACD call.

When dealing with an emergency call, first note the digits displayed on your telephone. This may help security with any follow-up activities for the call.

Press Emergency to call your supervisor. The Emergency indicator flashes while the supervisor is being called. When the supervisor is connected, the indicator comes on steadily and a Three-Way Call is established.

In some installations, a tape recording of the call will also begin. The caller is not aware of the recording action.

Note: You must remain in the conference for the duration of the call: if you hang up, the call will be disconnected.

If your supervisor happens to be active on another emergency call, your request will either be routed to the first available supervisor or disallowed, depending on the way your ACD system has been configured. If your call is disallowed the Emergency indicator will not come on. Your supervisor will tell you which way your system has been configured.

Not Ready key

Pressing the Not Ready key at the end of an ACD call makes your position temporarily unavailable to receive new ACD calls. The key is most often used to allow time for post-call processing; for example, completing paperwork associated with an ACD call.

To stop further ACD calls coming in, press Not Ready at the end of a call. The Not Ready indicator comes on.

When you are ready to receive further calls press Not Ready a second time.

Note: Do not press Not Ready during a ACD call or the call may be disconnected.

In some organizations codes are used to indicate the reason why the Not Ready key was pressed. If this feature is used at your site, the Not Ready indicator will flash until you dial the code. Your supervisor will tell you if this applies to your site and what codes to use if it does.

Displaying the queue threshold

It is sometimes useful to know how many calls are waiting to be answered or how long the call at the front of the queue has been waiting. The optional Display Queue Threshold feature provides this information. Your supervisor will tell you if the feature is available at your site.

To view information about calls waiting to be answered press Disp queue.

The information displayed normally includes a figure for the number of calls in the queue, or the waiting time for the call at the front of the queue and a graphical representation of the same information. A typical display is shown below.

T1 T2 T3 WAIT 000000000000 110

In the example above, the labels T1, T2 and T3 represent particular waiting times selected by the organization concerned. The call at the front of the queue has been waiting for 110 seconds, which is slightly more than time T2.

Displaying the queue threshold (continued)

At some sites, information about the queue is displayed each time a call is presented to your telephone, as shown in the typical example below.

RESERVATIONS

T1 CALLQ 026

In this example the display shows that the call came in on the organization's reservations number and the caller has been waiting for time T1. The bottom right-hand corner of the display shows that there are currently 26 calls in the queue.

At some sites, the queue information is displayed whenever you press the Not Ready key. In this case the information will remain visible, and will be updated at regular intervals until you press Not Ready again to resume receiving ACD calls.

Supervisor features

As the supervisor of an ACD group, you are responsible for monitoring and assisting agents' work. In addition you may work as an agent whenever necessary. You may be responsible for one or more ACD groups.

This part of the guide explains how to:

- interpret agent indicators - display the status of an ACD group - display a summary of agent activity - observe an agent - call an agent - answer a call from an agent - respond to an emergency call - use the Night Service key - use the Interflow key - access ACD agent functions.

Interpreting agent indicators

The status of an ACD agent may be checked by looking at the indicator associated with the agent's key. This indicator is automatically updated each time the agent's status changes, and will always be in one of four states:

• Off agent position is logged out.
• On agent is active on an ACD call.

Flashing - agent is waiting for an ACD call.

Flashing quickly - the Not Ready key has been pressed, the agent is busy with post-call processing.

Displaying the status of an ACD queue

When you press the Disp queue key, information is displayed about how many calls are waiting to be answered and how long the call at the front of the queue with highest answering priority has been waiting. This allows you to see whether the ACD group is handling calls effectively or not.

The example below shows the information typically displayed when you press the Disp queue key.

Displaying the status of an ACD queue (continued)

INC is the number of incoming calls waiting in the ACD call queue

AGT is the number of agents available to answer calls

WAIT is the waiting time (in seconds) of the call at the front of the highest priority queue.

INC LOG AGT WAIT

24 12 8 102

The information is displayed for 12 seconds, or until another feature key is pressed or an ACD call is presented on your ☐ key. If you have more than one Disp queue key on your telephone each key will be associated with a different ACD group.

Some sites use the Display Queue Threshold feature rather than Display Queue Status. For information on this feature refer to Displaying the queue threshold in the Agent features part of this guide.

Displaying a summary of agent activity

When you press the Dis Agt Sum key, information is displayed about the activity of all the agent positions in your ACD group.
