1.1. Creation tool

Use the Add button to create a new queue (Fig.1(1)). The New queue modal window (Fig.2) opens after clicking the button. The following types of queues are available:

• Offline queue - the list of Members who need to be called back manually, for example, the Member who selects the option to call back;
• Inbound queue - callers are waiting in the Queue to speak to an Agent. For example, a hotline;
• Outbound IVR queue - call Members without the involvement of an Agent. Allows organizing automatical engagement with customers by making automated voice calls using pre-recorded files or speech synthesis and recognition technologies;

• Preview dialer - the main task is to select a Member and show information about him to the Agent. The initiator of the call is the Agent;
• Progressive dialer - outbound campaign with Agent reservation. Simultaneous dialing to the Members and Agent;

• Predictive dialer -  an outgoing campaign without prior reservation of the Agent to minimize the call waiting time. The Dialer determines how many Members need to be dialed to receive an answer, connect with an Agent, and reduce the agent's waiting time. It maximizes agents' load by minimizing the waiting time for the Agent to communicate with the Member. In the case when the Dialer has reached the Member, but there is no free Agent, then Members who could not be connected to the Agent remain to wait in the Queue;
• Chat inbound queue - the same as Inbound queue but with chats;
• Inbound task queue - incoming queue with tasks. Task - any entity that can be distributed to the agent according to the specified rules;
• Outbound task queue - outbound queue with tasks. The schemes are used to perform Task.

After selecting a queue type and clicking the Create button, the General tab of the selected queue opens.
