An exception can be one of three types: peg count, agent timed, or other timed exceptions.
Task: administering exceptions CentreVu CMS Administration 8-51 Task reference can wait in the queue for 20 seconds. An exception occurs if, within an interval, more than three calls wait in the queue longer than 20 seconds. Timed occurrence boundaries for Other Timed Exceptions apply to ACD activity within the last interval. At the beginning of the next interval, the occurrence count for any timed exception type (except for agent timed exceptions) is cleared and starts again from zero.

Task: viewing and changing system setup values CentreVu CMS Administration 10-30 Allocating storage space Assuming that free space is available, the maximum storage capabilities are: • Intrahour storage: 62 days • Daily storage: five years (1,825 days) • Weekly/monthly storage: 10 years (520 weeks/120 months) Understand implications The length of the intrahour interval affects how much disk space is needed to store the days of intrahour data.
Task: viewing and changing system setup values CentreVu CMS Administration 10-31 Allocating storage space • Shift 1 (2, 3, or 4): CentreVu CMS rounds shift times to the nearest interval. For example, if you use 30-minute intervals and set a shift from 8:15 to 5:15, CentreVu CMS assumes that this shift is from 8:00 to 5:30. Shifts must be at least one minute long. You cannot set a shift from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. for a 24-hour shift; you must set 8:00 a.m. to 7:59 a.m. for a 24-hour shift.

For example, January's monthly summary is done on the first day of February.
Task: viewing and changing system setup values CentreVu CMS Administration 10-39 Setting storage intervals • If the start and stop day are the same day of the week, one day's worth of data is stored per week. • When you change the weekly start or stop day, the current week can be one to 13 days long. You do not need to migrate the data because of this change.
Task: viewing and changing system setup values CentreVu CMS Administration 10-40 Setting storage intervals Reference Guidelines for setting storage intervals A change in the intrahour interval does not take effect until the end of the current intrahour interval, and existing historical data is automatically migrated when you are changing to a longer intrahour interval.
Task: viewing and changing system setup values CentreVu CMS Administration 10-41 Setting storage intervals It is time-consuming...
