How is the hierarchy determined in the ring group routing setting "Longest available time"?
In the "Longest available time" routing setting of a ring group, the hierarchy is determined based on the number assigned to each agent. Agents are labeled with numbers, where a lower number indicates a longer available time in the queue.
For example, in the mentioned scenario, Desiree (labeled as 1) had the longest available time among the agents, followed by Rose (labeled as 2), and then Duke (labeled as 3).
The order is determined by the agents' availability durations, with the agent labeled as 1 having the longest availability at that specific point in time.
