Sub-skill groups do not imply priority in scripting. You must indicate the priority of each
sub-skill group in the script.
Each sub-skill group is treated as a separate skill group by the Central Controller. Data from
sub-skill groups automatically rolls up into base skill groups.
You can have a mix. That is, you can congure some skill groups with sub-skill groups and
have others without sub-skill groups.
While there are benets to using sub-skill groups, there are also some reporting issues to be
aware of:
If you congure sub-skill groups, you cannot assign agents to base skill groups. You must
assign them to the sub-skill groups.
If you congure sub-skill groups, the WebView item selection list for Peripheral Skill Group
reports contains both the 'parent' base skill group and its component sub-skill groups.
To ensure correct enterprise queue reporting data on the agent desktop reporting applications
and WebView, the Routing script must queue calls to sub-skill groups only and not to the
base skill group.
To queue calls to base skill groups, do not congure sub-skill groups.
You cannot route to the base skill group.
Any call routed to the base skill group will stay in the queue indenitely or will go to an
ACD-picked skill group, if one is congured.

Congured (page 160).
Planning for Enterprise Skill Group Reporting
An enterprise skill group is a logical organization of skill groups. While each individual skill
group is tied to a specic peripheral, an enterprise skill group can span peripherals.
Determine which skill groups you want to group into an enterprise skill group. These skill groups
might be from several peripherals and/or from different media. For example, you may have a
skill group called Boston_Sales on one peripheral and a skill group called NewYork_Sales on
another peripheral. You could create an enterprise skill group called Enterprise_Sales.
To obtain enterprise-wide values, Unied ICM simply totals some statistics. For example, to
obtain the number of agents available in an enterprise skill group, the software adds the number
of agents available in each member peripheral skill group.
Because Unied ICM affords total exibility in how you group skill groups into an Enterprise
skill group, you need to consider how you congure the Enterprise Skill Groups.
Depending on your grouping, you might see double-counting of some metrics in your reports.
For example, if a call comes in requesting information on printers, and if you queue that call to
