Password

To assign up to nine digits as the password that an agent must enter when logging in to the system. Valid entries are from 0 to 9.

Type the minimum number of digits in this field specified by the Minimum Agent-LoginID Password Length field on the Feature-Related System Parameters screen.

This field is applicable if you select n in the AAS and AUDIX fields.

Password (enter again)

To ensure that an agent reenters the password.

PA

This option is displayed only when Call Handling Preference is set to percent-allocation (PA). This is the percentage for each of the agent skills. A valid entry is a number from 1 to 100 for each skill. Entries for all the agent skills together must add up to 100%. Do not use target allocations for reserve skills. Percent Allocation is available as part of the Avaya Business Advocate software.

Port Extension

To type the assigned extension for an AAS or AUDIX port. This extension cannot be a VDN or an agent login ID.

The field is applicable if you enter y in the AAS field or the AUDIX field.

RL (Reserve Level)

To assign a reserve level to the agent login ID for a skill with Service Level Supervisor (SLS) or the type of interruption with the Interruptible Aux work feature.

You can assign a reserve level of 1 or 2, or an interruptible level of a, m, or n where a=Auto-In-Interrupt, m=Manual-In-Interrupt, and n = Notify-Interrupt. For no reserve or interruptible level, leave the field blank.

Changes to this field take effect the next time the agent logs in to the system.

You can use the values 1 or 2 if the Business Advocate field is active for the system. A skill level cannot be assigned with a reserve level setting. RL set to 1 or 2 defines the Expected Wait Time (EWT) threshold level for the agent to be added to the assigned skill as a reserve agent.

When EWT for this skill reaches the corresponding threshold set on the Hunt Group screen, the system automatically adds this skill to logged-in agent skills. The system delivers calls from this skill to the agent, until the skill EWT drops below the assigned overload threshold for that level, or if Oldest Call Waiting (OCW) is used as a threshold.

Use the Interruptible Aux feature when the service-level target is not being met.

Security Code

To enter the 4-digit security code or password for the Demand Print Messages feature. The default is blank.

Service Objective

To administer Service Objective on the Hunt Group and Agent LoginID screens.

This field is applicable when the Call Handling Preference field is set to greatest-need or skill-level.

Communication Manager selects the arriving ACD calls for staffed agents according to the ratio of Predicted Wait Time (PWT) or Current Wait Time (CWT) to the administered Service Objective for the skill.

SL (Skill Level)

To determine the skill level for each skill that you assign to an agent.

If you select n in the Expert Agent Selection - Preference Handling Distribution (EAS-PHD) field, you can use two priority levels.

If you select y in the Expert Agent Selection - Preference Handling Distribution (EAS-PHD) field, you can use 16 priority levels.

SN (Skill Number)

To assign skills to the agent login ID. Do not enter the same skill twice.

If you select n in the Expert Agent Selection - Preference Handling Distribution (EAS-PHD) field, you can assign up to 4 skills.

If you select y in the Expert Agent Selection - Preference Handling Distribution (EAS-PHD) field, you can assign up to 60 or 120 skills.

Important:

Assigning many skills to agents can affect the performance of your system. Review system designs with Avaya Sales Factory when a significant number of agents have more than 60 skills for each agent.

TN

To assign a Tenant Partition number.

Valid entries are from 1 to 250.

Unicode Name

This is a display-only field that indicates whether a Unicode name is assigned to the agent. The options are y or n. Changing the Name field does not change the Unicode name. You must use an external administration application such as Avaya Aura® System Manager to change the Unicode name.
