Accepting an outbound contact
Use the Agent Desktop interface to accept and handle outbound campaigns one
call at a time.
Your outbound administrator can configure the outbound calls to be made
immediately after you accept a call, specify a number of seconds before the call
is placed, or enable the agent to make the call.
By using the Contact Center Manager Administration, an administrator can
configure the Agent Desktop to give visual and audible alerts when a contact is
presented. For more information about these features, see Avaya Aura™
Contact Center Server Administration (NN44400-610).
