messages, categorizes and prioritizes messages, suggests response templates, and, if congured
to do so, sends automatic responses.
When present in the system, these multichannel options are responsible for sending the incoming
task request to ICM software for agent or skill group selection through the MR PG (which is
used for routing) and an Agent PG (which ends agent status and activity to the Central Controller
and places the selected agent into session with the task).
This is the ow of events when the E-Mail Manager or the Collaboration Server receive a
request:
The MultiChannel option sends the task information to the Central Controller for routing
purposes.
The Central Controller returns an agent and skill group.
The MultiChannel option pushes the task to the agent.
If no agent is available, the task queues logically at the E-Mail Manager or in the queue of
the Web Collaboration Option until the agent becomes available. Because the task does not
involve voice, physical queuing is not needed.
This architecture is illustrated in the following diagram.

Media Classes and Media Routing Domains
A Media Class represents a combination, or a single instance, of media that are to be treated
as a single concept for routing by Unied ICM software.
