Introduction 
1
The following features and switch capabilities have an impact on 
CentreVu CMS database items.
Adjunct-Placed 
and Adjunct-
Routed Calls 
1
For Generic 3 switches with the ASAI feature, 
CentreVu CMS tracks 
outbound calls placed by an adjunct processor or host computer on 
behalf of an agent and adjunct-routed calls. Database items that start 
with O_ track outbound split/skill calls and database items that contain 
ADJ track adjunct-routed calls. Adjunct-placed outbound split/skill calls 
are also included as part of ACD database items such as ACDCALLS
ACDTIME, and ACWTIME. Inbound split/skill calls can be calculated as 
ACDCALLS-O_ACDCALLS.
Call Handling 
Preference
1
The agent’s call handling preference determines which call an agent will 
receive when there are calls waiting for more than one of the agent’s 
skills. It is also used to help determine which agent will receive a call in a 
situation where there are multiple agents available in a given skill. The 
possible call handling preferences are:
Skill Level Call Handling Preference: An agent assigned Skill Level 
call handling preference will receive calls first based on the level 
assigned to the skill, then based on queue priority and wiat time of 
the call.
Greatest Need Call Handling Preference: An agent assigned 
Greatest Need call handling preference will receive calls based on 
the queue priority and wait time (current wait time or predicted wait 
time) of the call, not based on the level assigned for the skill.
Percent Allocation Call Handling Preference: An agent assigned 
Percent Allocation call handling preference will receive a call based 
on a comparison of times spent on calls for each skill level and the 
percentage of time the agent has been allocated for each skill level.
