Activity Codes
Activity Codes
Agents use Activity Codes to allocate the time they spend on calls to one or more activities. Call
Center stores the amount of time allocated to an Activity Code and the number of times an Activity
Code is entered. You can generate reports that show the length of time the caller and agent
discussed the topic designated to the corresponding Activity Code.

Optional and Prompted Activity Code logging
Agents use the Activity Code Feature Code, ≤·‚‡, to designate an activity for a call.
Agents can use ≤·‚‡ on one and two-line sets. You can configure the agent's settings so
that a ≤·‚‡ session automatically appears on the agent’s telephone at the end of the call
(Prompted). If the setting is Optional, the ≤·‚‡ session does not appear.
