Membership

This process allows you to add or remove those who can make and receive calls using the department main line (call queue).

2. From Members section click View or Edit.
   
   
   
   
3. To add new members - click Add and select all the users you would like to be members by clicking the checkbox next each name. When you have them all checked click OK.

Greeting Prompt

This allows you to have a greeting before the call is routed to members of the call queue. Most call queues do not have this, but it can be used to announce your department, for example, "Thanks for calling xxxxxxxxxx Services, the next available member will be with you shortly." Or some departments use it for special announcement such as "Thanks for calling Financial Aid, please note the FAFSA deadline is Friday. An agent will be with you shortly."

1. Go to Profile menu.
2. Navigate to Business Hours section > Greeting Prompt.
3. By default, there is no prompt so calls ring immediately to each member of the call queue who have enabled it in Line Sharing. This is how many departments use their call queue.
   
   
4. To add a prompt:
   1. Click Edit and select Add Audio.
   2. Most departments use Text to Speech and some Record by Computer.
      1. For Text to Speech, enter an Asset Name, its typical to name it the same as the call queue appended by "Greeting Prompt". For example, "ITS Call Queue Greeting Prompt".
         1. Category is CQ/AR Greeting Prompt.
         2. Add what you want spoken for the prompt in Message to play field.
            • Once text is entered you can click the Play link in the bottom left of the box to listen.
         3. Visibility - typically this is Personal Audios.
         4. Click Add when complete.

         4. Visibility - typically this is Personal Audios.
         5. Click Add when complete.
            

Receive calls while on a call

If everyone is on a call in the call queue then when the next call comes in, do you want it to ring the team (someone puts an active call on-hold to take a second), or send the call to voicemail? Most departments send the call to voicemail.

In Business Hours section, verify Receive calls while on a call is turned off.

Max wait time

How long do you want to ring members before a call goes to voicemail? If everyone is away from their computer, how long will the call queue try ringing everyone before it goes to the call queue's voicemail?

1. This is typically 20 seconds; 4 to 5 seconds is equivalent to one ring
2. In Business Hours section verify Max Wait Time:

Max calls in queue

If every member is currently on a call, how many calls would you like to stay in the queue waiting for a member to become available? When this number is reached, the next caller is sent to the call queue voicemail. Most departments set this to 1.

1. In Business Hours section Max Call in Queue:
2. If you want to change this, click the Edit button, change number of calls, and then press Confirm button. 

Overflow

This is where calls go when hitting the thresholds in Receive calls while on a call, Max wait time, or Max calls in queue described above. Please consult your telephone administrator and IT VCS before changing this to anything other than Voicemail.
