Automatic After Call Work
The IP Office telephone system maintainer can configure individual agents to be automatically put into After Call Work
state when they end a queue call. This option is only supported for agents when using a phone with an ACW button as
detailed about.
Disabling After Call Work
The IP Office system maintainer can disable the use of After Call Work by all agents or an individual agent. When this is
done, buttons and dialing short codes for After Call Work will not operate.
Wrap Up
For all phone users, the IP Office phone system normally applies a short delay, by default 2 seconds, during which the
user is indicated as still being busy to further calls. The main function of wrap up is to allow analog phone users who
have just finished a call the opportunity to start dialing a short code or to make a call before another incoming call is
presented to them.
For users set as agents, the period of wrap up applied to their phone is reported as their being in
state. If the agent is also set for automatic after call work, the wrap up period is applied first and then the automatic
after call work period is begun.
