    4. Beskrivelse (Description) Can be used for additional identification of the queue. (E.g., 'Customer Service Aarhus').
    5. Antal tilmeldte (amount of registered) See how many agents are logged into the queue.

    8. Prioritering af køer

Function Description
1. Navn (Name) The name of the queue could be location or department, for example.
2. Beskrivelse (Description) Can be used for additional identification of the queue. (E.g., 'Customer Service Aarhus').
3. Gå til (Go to)

Here you can choose what the queue should forward to if the maximum wait time is reached, queue size, or if no one is registered in the queue.

You don't need to select a type to look up a local number. This can be useful if you have many local numbers that are named the same but have different functions.

4. Ventemusik (Hold music) Here you can select which hold music you want for a queue. You can have different hold music for different queues.
5. Ringemetode (Ringing method)
  • Alle ledige samtidig
    (All available simultaneously) rings all available phones that are registered in the queue at the same time.
  • Rundringning
    (Call through) rings one phone at a time. Fixed random order. The sequence cannot be edited and remains the same each time.
  • Længst ledig
    (Longest idle) rings the agent who has been free the longest. Continues to ring that agent until someone else has been free longer.
  • Rundringning, længst ledige først
    (Call through, longest idle first) rings the phone that has been idle the longest. If that phone is busy, it rings the next phone in line.
    The last agent to log on, is by definition idle longest.
  • Rundringning, færrest antal opkald først
    (Call through, fewest amount of calls first) rings the phone that has taken the fewest calls. If that phone is busy, it rings the next phone in line.

  • Alle samtidig, inklusiv optagede
    (All simultaneously, including busy) rings all phones at once, even those that are busy.
  • Ringerækkefølge, viderestil
    (Ringing order, forward) rings employees based on priority. Once all employees have been called, it forwards to the function chosen in "Go to".
  • Ringerækkefølge, fast start
    (Ringing order, fixed start) rings employees based on priority. Once all employees have been called, it starts over with priority 1.

NOTE: # is the activation key, so it should be clear in the message. When you press #, Flexfones' 'Call me back' message will play, asking for an 8-digit phone number and ending with #. If you press #, the call will also end.

Manage Queue Prioritization

If, for example, you are registered to a support queue, which has 1st priority, and a sales queue, which has 2nd priority, you will always first receive calls from the support queue with 1st priority.

When there are no more calls in the support queue, you will then receive calls from the sales queue, which has 2nd priority. If the 1st priority queue is never emptied, you will thus never receive calls from the 2nd priority queue.

To activate the function, you must do the following on PBXadmin.dk:

  1. Under the Køer (Queues) menu item, click on the Prioritering af køer (Queue Prioritization) button.
    køer-5
  2. Place a checkmark next to Aktiver funktion (Activate function) in the dialog box and press Gem (Save).
    køer-3-1
  3. Beside each queue, you can now choose the prioritization.
    køer-4-1
