152 BCMS Operations
Auto-In Work mode One of four agent work modes: the mode in which an agent is ready to
process another call as soon as the current call is completed.
Automatic Call
Distribution (ACD)
A feature that answers calls and, depending on administered instructions,
delivers messages appropriate for the caller and routes the call to an agent
when one becomes available.
Automatic Call
Distribution (ACD)
split
A method of routing calls of a similar type among agents in a call center.
Also, a group of extensions that are staffed by agents trained to handle a
certain type of incoming call.
AUX-Work mode A work mode in which agents are unavailable to receive ACD calls. Agents
enter AUX-Work mode when involved in non-ACD activities such as taking a
break, going to lunch, or placing an outgoing call.
BCMS Basic Call Management System
Call Management
System (CMS)
An application, running on an adjunct processor, that collects information
from an ACD unit. CMS enables customers to monitor and manage
telemarketing centers by generating reports on the status of agents, splits,
trunks, trunk groups, vectors, and VDNs, and enables customers to partially
administer the ACD feature for a communications system.
call vector A set of up to 32 vector commands to be performed for an incoming or
internal call.
call work code A number entered by ACD agents to record the occurrence of
customer-defined events (such as account codes, social security numbers,
or telephone numbers) on ACD calls.
CCS or hundred call
seconds
A unit of call traffic. Call traffic for a facility is scanned every 100 seconds. If
the facility is busy, it is assumed to have been busy for the entire scan
interval. There are 3600 seconds per hour. The Roman numeral for 100 is
the capital letter C. The abbreviation for call seconds is CS. Therefore, 100
call seconds is abbreviated CCS. If a facility is busy for an entire hour, it is
said to have been busy for 36 CCS. See also Erlang
