How do we alert agents that there are other calls in the queue?

Hey,
I'm trying to figure out a way to alert agents that there are other calls in the queue (whether they're ready or not-ready).  I've seen systems that have a separate button on the phone that flashes when there's a call sitting in the queue.
The purpose of this is two fold:
1) if they are on a call they know they need to step up the game a bit to get the current issue resolved.
2) if they are "not-ready" and didn't notice the software, the blinking phone should help jump-start their brain to think "why isn't my phone ringing?"
A wallboard, while nice, is not practical for the situation i'm looking at (information desk).  I'd like to minimize the number of things they have to keep track of (walk-ins, a PC, and the phone only), and a flashing button seems like a good way to do that.
Has anyone seen something similar to this on UCCX?

Hi thanmad,
I don't have a sample script with me on hand now, the script i did before is part of our production scripts. But the script required to alert the agents is fairly simple.
First part is identifying when you would like the alert to be triggered, for example say when the call is been in the queue for 2 minutes. You can achieve this in different ways; you can use “Get reporting statistic” and use a field which will give you the Current wait duration of the caller, in this case Report object “csq ipcc express” need to be selected. You then need to compare the result with the predefined duration (seconds) and if the result is higher, then trigger the Alarm.
The Alarm is triggered to the alerting device by using “Call Consult Transfer” set a time out for it and then send the call back to the Queue. Make sure this device doesn’t have any VM setting or forwarding configured to it. If you don’t want reporting statistics you can just put this step where you want in the script and when the call hits it, it will trigger the alarm.
Not sure if it makes sense to you but I would recommend you playing with it and see if it is what you are looking after.
HTH!

    If I am playing a song from my phone on speakers, how can I make sure that there are no interruptions like calls or notifications? My students are performing and it would be terrible if there was to be an interruption.

    You could turn on Do Not Disturb. This would block all notifications and incoming calls.
    Or just turn you're phone's Airplane Mode on if you're not streaming the music

  • How does IITTrackCollection handle ItemByName if there are multiple tracks by the same name?

    I am writing a program in C# that is trying to check if a track already exists in the iTunes Library before adding it (thus preventing duplicates).  The best method I have come up to do this with is to use 'MyPlaylist.ItemByName(SongName)' to retrieve a possible duplicate and then compare the rest of that track's attributes (i.e. the artist and album).  However, I have several examples of tracks in my library which have the exact same name, but are in fact completely different and unrelated.  How is this handled by the iTunes COM?  Or is there a better way to do it?

  • IPhone 3GS group messaging: why don't I see that there are other recipients?

    I have the iPhone 3GS with iOS 5.0.1. When a group iMessage is sent to me, it does not show me the other recipients. It only looks like the person sent it to me ONLY. The only reason I know it's a group iMessage is because it says "Happy Holidays everyone!" for example. I receive replies from everyone else the message was sent to (annoying! all these numbers replying to my phone), but it seems that they don't see my replies. I've asked a few friends if they've seen my replies to the group iMessage and they haven't, even though I received theirs. That is not necessarily a bad thing, since I could have embarrassed myself on multiple occasions. But can anyone explain why this happens? It is weird that someone could group message me without me even knowing, when I can't see who else is on the message. Please let me know if there is something I can do to ensure that I see other recipients in a group message, AND to stop getting everyone else's replies, if possible. Thanks!

  • Is there a chance that firefox will inform that there are files downloading in the background before exit ?

    after I exit Firefox all downloading in background files are ended without any information about it. Is there a chance to change it ?

    Try changing the hidden preference '''''browser.download.manager.quitBehavior''''' to a value of 2 in about:config to get a warning window when closing Firefox during downloads. I have included a link below on using about:config

  • My camera roll on my iphone 4 (running iOS5) is inaccessible.  Whenever you press the camera roll it defaults to the main screen. Computers (MAC and PC don't recognize that there are any pics on the camera either.  HELP!

    I have tried to upload photos through facebook or email them, but whenever I try to access the camera roll, it goes back to the main screen.  I really have a couple photos I would like to try and retrieve. I don't want to wipe it yet and start new.  Any suggestions?

    Update: I ended up downloading Diskaid (free for 14 days) and all my photos where there. Put them all on my computer and then retored my phone as a new phone and all seems good. So far. Fingers crossed it doesn't happen again! Thanks for everyone's input!

  • Exchange 2007 Management shell issue: "There are multiple objects matching the identity "servername" Please specify a unique value"

    I thought this would be an easy answer to an issue I'm facing, but there's a problem executing the solution.
    I'm running Exchange 2007 in a clustered SCC configuration.  The clustered resource is called "DENBURYMAIL."  I want to give my account full mailbox access rights to all the mailboxes in this resource/database.
    I believe I found the solution to this at
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb310792%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx (about halfway down the page) the instructions read as follows: 
    ==============================
     Q: I have a third-party messaging application that requires full access to each user's mailbox. With Exchange Server 5.5, we grant a special account the Service Account Admin permissions, and then tell the application to use this account. How
    can I achieve similar functionality in Exchange 2007?
    A: Exchange 2007 security works differently from that of Exchange Server 5.5. In fact, Exchange 2007 does not use a site service account. Instead, all services start as the local computer account.
    If your logon account is the Administrator account, a member of the root Domain Administrators, a member of the Enterprise Administrators groups, or a member of the Exchange Organization Administrators role, you are explicitly denied access to all mailboxes
    that are not your mailbox, even if you have full administrative rights over the Exchange system. All Exchange 2007 administrative tasks can be performed without having to grant an administrator sufficient rights to read other people's mail.
    You can achieve the results that you want in the following ways, but do so only in accordance with your organization's security and privacy policies:
    In the Exchange Management Shell, use the following command to allow access to all mailboxes on a given mailbox store:
    Add-ADPermission -identity "mailbox database" -user "serviceaccount" -ExtendedRights Receive-As
    =============================
    But when I run the command (Add-ADPermission -identity "denburymail" -user "matthew.fazio" -ExtendedRights Receive-As) I get an error telling me that "There are multiple objects matching the identity "DENBURYMAIL."  Please Specify a unique value."
    I'm not sure what's causing this-- why are there "multiple objects?"  Is this a problem due to operating in a clustered environment?
    Any assistance would be appreciated!

    It may not be specific enough for the command to understand you.
    Try this:
    Get-MailboxDatabase -Server <servername> | Add-ADPermission -user "matthew.fazio" -ExtendedRights Receive-As

    I think you meant 10.6.8, not 10.8.6
    It requires an upgrade, instead of a free update.

    General requirements

        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.

    A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touch screen not working plus there are blurred lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays.
    Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer at home an error message comes up saying that I have to unlock my iPhone 4 for it to communicate to my device.
    But the problem is that I can't unlock my iPhone 4 because I'm unable to see the key pad and my touch screen no longer responds when I touch it.
    I just want to reset my iPhone 4 back to its Factory Settings & start all over from the beginning.
    How can I unlock my iPhone 4 with iTunes on my computer or any other option you suggest me trying.
    Thank you in advance,

    If you have had a "local guy "repair your iphone you will not get any support from Apple for warranty OR post warranty
    If Verizon return it to Apple it wil not be handled by Apple
    If Verizon also use unauthorised repairers you may be lucky
    (Apple do not sell parts to local guys or anyone else )
