Call redirection criteria
Redirection criteria determine the conditions under which a call redirects from the 
principal (called) extension to the first position in the coverage path. The criteria 
and conditions that apply are as follows:
Active
Redirects calls to coverage immediately when the principal is active on at 
least one call appearance. For a phone with only one appearance or a 
single-line extension, assign the Busy criterion (discussed below) instead 
of the Active criterion.
Busy
Redirects calls to coverage when all available call appearances at the 
principal extension are in use. For multiappearance phones, one call 
appearance can be reserved for outgoing calls or incoming priority calls 
(discussed later). The remaining assigned call appearances are available for 
other incoming calls. An incoming call (other than a priority call) redirects 
to coverage only when all of these unreserved call appearances are in use. 
If at least one unreserved call appearance is idle at the principal extension, 
the call remains at that idle appearance.
A Terminating Extension Group (TEG) is considered busy if any phone in 
the group is active on a call.
Each phone in a UCD or DDC group must be active on at least one call 
appearance for the call to redirect to coverage. If any phone in the group is 
idle the call directs to that phone. If no phone is available, the call can 
queue if queuing is provided. If queuing is not provided, then the call 
routes to coverage. If the queue is full or all agents are in an auxiliary state, 
the group is considered busy and the call routes to coverage. Queued calls 
remain in queue for the Don’t Answer Interval.
A call will not cover to a hunt group if no agents are logged in, or if all 
agents are in AuxWork mode. 
Don’t Answer
Redirects calls to coverage if unanswered during the assigned Don’t 
Answer Interval. A call rings for the Don’t Answer Interval and then 
redirects to coverage.
Cover All Calls
Redirects all incoming calls to coverage. This criterion has precedence over 
any other criterion previously assigned.
