What are recommended practices for creating queues?
Assuming Omnichannel is enabled, here's some recommendations when creating queues.
- If your queues don't have assigned agents, they must be marked manual (this applies to the default queue too).
- Agents added to queues must sign in to the Fusion application and set themselves as available for the kind of work that will appear in their queues.
- If agents in a queue can't keep up with the workload, more agents must be added to prevent accumulation of work in queues.
- Each agent must be assigned to just one queue, a best practice. If an agent is in multiple queues, there's no order guarantee between queues. A lower priority item from one queue might get assigned before higher priority items from another queue.
- Kept the total number of automatic queues low.
- If the queue has only one or two agents, it's generally better to make the queue manual.
- The number of Assignment Rule Sets must be kept to 500 or fewer.
- The number of assignment rules must be kept low for performance and also for debugging purposes.
