T-85A TALLY REQUIRED - ACD
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This feature is programmed on a per-split basis via the ACDSPL PCPro command. When a split is marked for Tally
Required an agent will not be able to answer a new incoming ACD call until a Tally entry has been made for the
previous call. If an agent attempts to enter the Ready Mode to receive a new call but has not yet entered a Tally Code
from the previous call a message will display "TALLY NEEDED" for a few seconds.
The Per-Call Tally field on the ACDSPL PCPro command may be set independently for each split in the ACD. Even
if an agent is using the multi-split agent feature the per-call tally feature will be checked as each call is assigned
based on the split that call is coming from. The Tally Code may be entered while the call is in progress or during the
after-call work mode. If the after-call work mode is timed and the timer expires before the Tally Code has been en-
tered a Permanent Work Mode will result (The key lamp status is changed from flash to steady light). Once in Per-
manent Work Mode an agent will be required to press the Work Key in order to receive the next incoming call and,
of course, this will only be effective after the required Tally Code has been entered.
SERVICE CONDITIONS
1. Agents who are determined to get around the requirement of entering a Tally Code after each and every call
may find that they are not even allowed to logoff the ACD system until they have entered a tally code for the
most recently completed call. This is not a bug. The "TALLY NEEDED" display will serve as a strong reminder
to the agent that they have not yet completed the requirements for the previous call.
2. An agent is not permitted to go to Break Mode until a required Tally Code has been entered for the previous
call. The usual display will remind the agent that the tally code is still needed.
3. Tally-Oh codes to Force Logoff a position will work even though a final Tally Code has not been entered.
4. Even though Tally Codes are required it is still possible for counts of Tally Codes and calls handled to differ.
There are a few reasons for this, not the least of which is that multiple Tally Codes for a single call are always
permitted.
5. When the communication with the ACD call ends without Tally Code entry, the position forced into Work
Mode. At that time, WORK/BREAK/LOGOFF key is ineffective and the LCD display shows "TALLY NEED-
ED". Operation for the status change to Ready Mode, Break Mode, Logoff using IVR is also ineffective.
6. This feature is not available when programming to restrict the Work Mode (ACDSPL, WKRST=1).
7. When the communication ends without Tally Code entry, the agent position goes into the Work Mode even if
the after-call work mode is available (ACDSPL, AFTER=1, Ready Mode).
