AC Admin

This app functions as the central interface for configuring system-wide settings that apply to all components of anyContact innoACD. Individual configuration parameters are described here in detail.

General Settings

Configuration parameter	Description
Mandatory Skill Timer	This parameter defines the system-wide timeout for a mandatory skill. After this time expires, a skill required by the queue is no longer mandatory but only preferred for the routing decision. Consequently, calls can then be handled by agents who do not possess the required skill set. This global setting is overridden by the individual skill settings in AC Queue Admin if configured there.
Ring time to RONA	This parameter defines the maximum time (in seconds) that an incoming call is offered to an agent before it is considered a RONA (Redirect On No Answer). If the call is not accepted within this period, it is automatically returned to the queue or forwarded to another available agent. The agent who did not answer the call is automatically set to “Not Available.”
Short call timer	Short calls are defined as calls that remain in the queue or in conversation with an agent for less than a system-wide configurable duration. If a caller hangs up within this set time, the call is not counted as a lost call and therefore does not negatively impact the service level. Similarly, if a call with an agent ends within this time, it is not counted, and the agent does not receive after-call work time.

Description

Transfer strategy

The transfer strategy distinguishes between two variants:

Direct: After the routing decision, the call is physically transferred to the selected agent’s extension. The conversation begins when the call is answered.

Note: If the agent actively rejects the call, it is not returned to the queue and is considered lost.

Reserve: The agent is reserved for the call in the routing without the call being immediately transferred to their device. The agent is notified of the incoming call with the option to actively accept it.
When the “Accept Call” button is selected, a direct connection to the caller is established without an additional transfer. This method prevents calls from being lost due to active rejection during transfer.
While reserved, no further direct calls can be routed to the agent.

License Settings

At the bottom of the user interface, there is a function called “Add License” which allows additional licenses to be imported.

Each license is always tied to the end customer and is stored using a unique license key. Licensing is cumulative—existing licenses can be expanded at any time.

Example:
If an initial license for 30 agents is imported and later needs to be extended by 10 more agents, only an additional license key for 10 agents must be obtained and imported via the “Add License” function. The total number of licensed agents will then automatically increase to 40.

Note: It is not necessary to replace or overwrite the existing license— all valid license keys are processed additively by the system along with their respective validity periods.

Above the license key input field, information regarding the current licensing status is displayed.
