6. Routing plans
For each hotline that is newly created, a rout-
ing plan with the identical name of the hotline is
automatically created. The routing plan defines
how an incoming call is handled and distributed
on this hotline.

 COPY       Copies the selected node with all sub-

In case you use a certain node structure or rout-

node and thus all nodes below it by clicking on
the COPY symbol and name and save it as a tem-

Certain nodes can have multiple exits. The desti-
nation is configured behind each output. This can
result in new routing branches. You define the
number of destinations in advance at the desired
element. The following nodes have several outputs:
• DDI nodes (direct dial node)
• Time nodes

                                                           For each system, administrators can display or
                                                           hide columns and the associated key figures for
                                                           both incoming and outgoing telephony. The col-

19. Audio file management
Announcements and other audio files which are
to made available in the ACD are uploaded and
managed centrally via the routing and IN plat-
form „telegra CONTROL“. Announcements up-
loaded there are automatically available in the
ACD at various places as a selectable option:
•   Queue prompts
•   Announcements as destination in routing
    plans
•   Mailbox announcements

21. Real-time monitoring
In the monitoring area, administrators can get a
quick overview of the status of the various ACD
elements in real time, even without a teamleader
tool:
•   Hotline load
•   Real-time status of currently incoming calls
•   Current status of the agents of a group and
    group load
•   Current status of individual agents. Agents
    can also be paused, logged in and out or un-
    locked from the portal.
•   System overview on a daily basis: number of
    calls, active hotlines, agents and groups.
