The next tab you will want to configure is Pre Queue Options - Options for before the caller is put in queue

1. Require Agents - You can set up a queue that doesn't require agents to be in it for a call to get there, but in most cases, you will want to require agents to be in the queue before routing a call there
2. For Queue Audio - select Music on Hold or Ringback
3. Require Intro MOH (Music On Hold) - Require the intro MOH to be played in full and not attempt any agents until it completes
   1. There may be a legal notice for example, that has to be played before you route the call to an agent
4. Max Expected Wait Time in seconds - Unlimited by Default
5. Max Queue Length in seconds - Unlimited by Default
6. Allow Callback option - Allow the system to prompt the user for a callback option instead of waiting if timing conditions are met
7. Forward if Unavailable - if in the pre-queue options, nothing is available, you can send this over to an extension, phone number, device, etc

Onto the next tab, In Queue Options - Options for while callers are queued and being routed to agents

1. Queue Ring Timeout (sec) - Default is 30 seconds
2. Agent Ring Timeout (sec) - Default is 15 seconds
3. Logout agent on missed call - Default is NO
4. Forward if unanswered - Forwards somewhere else if the call is unasnwered
5. Voicemail - Enable or disable voicemail for this call queue

The final tab, SMS Options, you can enable or disable SMS for the call queue

1. We will have a dedicated article to these features, so we are not going to go into depth here but here is a screenshot for reference if you do have SMS enabled for this call queue Enable SMS
