Overview
Ring Groups are a set of Users that receive and answer your calls in a predefined order. Each ring group has its own independent queue for calls. You can set up your ring groups in the Ring Groups menu > Select Ring Group > Settings.
Read this guide to learn more about Ring Groups.
Configuring Queue Settings
Users can configure queue settings in Ring Groups > Select the Ring Group > Queue tab.
Enable Smart Call Queues
Aloware Smart Call Queues place incoming calls in a line, waiting for a user to pick up the call. If a user receives more calls than he can answer, calls are placed in a waiting queue until an agent becomes available, and the call will dispatch.
Smart Queue supports callbacks, position playback, the option to do a text, and a lot more.
Enable Fishing Mode
Fishing mode disables auto dispatching of calls. It is the call-waiting feature for Ring Groups. Agents can answer the calls from Wallboard or from the call notifications. Read more about Fishing Mode.
