For non-voice tasks, the default skill group is also used when the Queue to Agent node is used
to queue a task to an agent if the agent is not logged into the skill group specied in the Queue
to Agent node.
Using a default skill group helps to:
Ensure the agent/skill group reports balance with the service and call type reports, since
service and call type reports include only ICM-routed calls
Isolate/identify non-ICM-routed calls within the agent and skill group report
You do not have to create a default skill group--it is automatically created when you establish
MRD/Peripheral Gateways pairs. The default skill group has a peripheral number of 0.
Statistics for the default skill group are affected by different types of calls, including new calls,
agent-to-agent-dialing, and transferred and conferenced calls.
If you deploy Multichannel options in an ICM Enterprise system, default skill groups are created
for each Media Routing Domain that is congured. Refer to Reporting in a MultiChannel
Environment (page 127) section for more information about Multichannel options.
Agent State and Task State Relationship
Agent state times are reported on half-hour boundaries regardless of whether or not the call or
task is nished. Call and task state times are reported only when the task ends. The call/task
ends when wrap up is complete.
The following gure illustrates the correlation between agent state and call state for a voice
call. The agent reserve time includes the time it took the call to arrive at the agents phone or
desktop (network time) as well as the amount of time that the call rang on the agents phone or
waited on the agents desktop (offer/ring time).
Figure 13: Agent State and Task State Relationship
If the half-hour boundary ends when the call is ringing on the agents phone, the reserved time
for the agent includes the network time and part of the ring time. At the next half-hour interval,
the remaining ring time is reported in the reserved time of the agent. However, the calls time
does not appear on a report until wrap up has been completed on the call.
