Chapter 6 Monitoring Queued Calls

Answering the Next Call

The operators can receive multiple calls at a time that have different call handling requirements.
To provide consistent level of service, the operators need to answer the highest priority, longest
waiting call. The CallConnector Operator supports this capability using the Call Queues and the
Next key. The Call Queue feature allows the calls to the operator phone organized into a "queue"
for the purpose of assigning a priority. The Next key is used to answer the incoming calls based
on the administrator set queue priority.
