The dialing method for Ordered Sequential, Ordered Blast, and Ordered Tiered will distributed new calls based on the order in which your agents appear in the “active users” list.  To set or reset this order, follow the instructions below.

  4. Look for the department in the list and click on the department (or the Edit icon in the pop-up window)
  5. You will see the “Edit Department Directory Entry” window
  6. Scroll down to “Users in this Department

  8. Use the Up and Down buttons to present them in the order you wish for them to receive calls

If at thist ime there several agents are not ready to accept incoming calls, you will need to have the agents log out of queue individually or, as the account operator, log in on behalf of the user and log them out of the application individually. As users log in and out of queue, they will maintain in the order you have established for them.
