Avaya Aura Agent NN44400-114 - Manual (Page 48)

Predictive Outbound
48 NN44400-114 Contact Center Agent Desktop 2 December 2010
• Progressive: Similar to the Predictive dialing option, Contact Center sends a
record to the dialer for automatic outbound processing. The contact is
displayed on the Agent Desktop and the customer simultaneously receives
the call. The agent cannot cancel the contact or dial the number. Unlike the
Predictive dialing option, Contact Center prevents the number of calls in
progress from exceeding the number of idle agents.
• Manual: Contact Center presents a record to the agent for review. No time
limit is given. The agent can cancel the contact or manually dial the number.
This dialing option is manual.
Attention: Do not perform telephony tasks by using a mixture of steps on your
telephone and the telephony toolbar. For example, do not place a call on hold
using your telephone and then retrieve the call by clicking Unhold on the
toolbar.
