Contact assignment based on the Agent ID is to utilize a specific agent for an outbound attempt. POM presents a record to an agent that matches the Agent ID system attribute associated with the contact.
The Agent ID based selection is applicable only for progressive and preview type of the campaign. Agent ID based record selection is applicable for a campaign having a single action node in the handler and all the action nodes are of type either progressive or preview. The agent ID based record selection is not applicable for the predictive type of campaigns.
