Configuring Agent Voice Settings

After configuring voice at the group level, you can customize it at the individual agent level.

You must modify the employee record to enable voice for the employee.

Other configuration tasks involve assigning agents to the agent groups that you created (see Creating Agent Groups) and assigning agents to the skill groups that you created (see Creating Skill Groups).

Configuring Voice Agent Properties

After enabling voice for an employee, open the Voice-Agent Properties tab. This page contains all of the user and agent settings from the IPCM server.

Enter the following properties:

Field	Description
VOIP Device	The phone that the agent is currently using.
Voice Number	The phone number of the agent.
Override Voice Number	Optional. Usually left empty. Updates automatically when you override your extension from the Voice toolbar.
Agent Group	Group to which the agent belongs.
Recording %	The percentage of time that the calls for this agent are recorded.
Not Ready Reason Required	Optional. Specifies if the agent must indicate a not ready reason when switching to the not ready state. The Voice toolbar enables agents to manually indicate when they are in the ready state (available to handle calls) or the not ready state (unavailable to handle calls). If an agent switches to the not ready state, the toolbar allows the agent to select a predefined not ready reason. Group Defined: The not ready reason required is defined at the group level, as described in Creating Agent Groups. Required: The agent must indicate a not ready reason when in the not ready state. Not Required: The agent does not need to indicate a reason when in the not ready state.
Wrapup Timeout	Indicates the amount of time that an agent can spend after a call. After hanging up with a caller, the agent state switches automatically to the after-call work state, during which time the agent is unavailable to take calls while completing the after-call work related to the call. In the default configuration, the agent remains in the after-call work state until the agent manually switches to the Ready state; however, you can use the Agent WrapUp Timeout option to determine the maximum amount of time an agent can spend in the after-call work state. After the time expires, the server automatically switches the agent to the ready state. Group Defined: The timeout is defined at the group level, as described in Creating Agent Groups. Agent Defined: The timeout is defined for the agent. Enter the time frame in seconds in the Wrapup Seconds field that appears. Disabled: No limit is imposed; the agent remains in the after-call work state until manually switching to the ready state.
Initial Agent Status	Shows the initial agent status upon login. Ready Not Ready Group Defined: The initial not agent status is defined at the group level, as described in Creating Agent Groups.
Initial Not Ready Reason	Shows the initial agent not ready reason upon login. Group Defined: The initial not ready reason is defined at the group level, as described in Creating Agent Groups. Pick from user defined reason: Select one of the user-defined reasons from the drop-down menu.
Audited	Records state changes made by the agent. State changes reflect calls received and interactions with the integrated Voice toolbar by employees designated as voice agents. Group Defined: The audit options are defined at the group level, as described in Creating Agent Groups True: Audits the agent False: Audits the agent
