both SkillGroup1 (PrinterSales) and SkillGroup2 (PrinterSupport) and if SkillGroup1 and
SkillGroup2 are associated with the same Enterprise Skill Group, you will see two calls reported
as queued for that Enterprise Skill Group.
Planning for Transfer and Conference Reporting
Unied ICM supports transfers and conferences to skill groups and transfers and conferences
directly to agents.
Call transfers and conferencing can be accomplished in two ways.
The agent can manually transfer the call to another agent or can conference in another agent
by dialing that agent's extension directly on the ACD.
The agent can use the ACD number to access a routing script on the ACD or can optionally
post-route the call to Unied ICM.
The latter method is preferable, since Unied ICM will be able to track the transferred calls
and how they are handled across the enterprise. This also provides the ability to transfer the
call to another ACD site.
It is best to discourage direct agent-to-agent transfers, as one has to rely on the ACD for skill
group and service assignment for the purposes of reporting. In situations where you are
handling transfers and conferences on the ACD itself, use the ACD number to control how
transfers are reported.
Note: Unied ICM will be unaware of a direct transfer if the agent extension is not congured.
If you are planning to provide for transfers and conference calls using post-routing, follow these
guidelines to obtain accurate and useful data:
Congure the ACD number to post-route the call to Unied ICM.
Consider creating separate scripts for transfer and conference scenarios if you are post-routing
all transfers and conferences.
Plan to create a separate script for transfers on the Unied ICM that uses the dialed numbers
you congured. Having a separate script on the ACD or on Unied ICM allows you to track
data across all known skill groups.
Note: If you do not do this, the skill group affected by reporting statistics is unknown, and
results are unpredictable.
Note: Refer to your ACD Supplement Guide for any restrictions that might affect the transfers
and conferencing. For example, some ACDs do not support blind transfers.
