Skill Levels

Skill Levels define the relationship between an agent and a skill group by assigning a numeric proficiency rating that influences how interactions are distributed.

Each agent can be assigned a skill level between 1 and 10 for any skill group. A blank value indicates the agent is not assigned to that skill group and will not receive interactions from it.

Skill levels work in conjunction with the routing algorithm configured on each skill group. Depending on the algorithm, higher-skilled agents may be prioritized to receive calls first, reserved as overflow, or rotated equally alongside others.


Accessing Skill Levels

Skill Levels is accessible to accounts with Supervisor or Admin permissions.
