Setting the Interruptible Aux Threshold for any skill/hunt group to service-level-target Setting the Interruptible parameter on specific Reason Codes to 'y' Identifying interruptible agents by setting the Reserve Level (RL) field of an agent's skills to one of the "interruptible" values described below
When the service level threshold for an interruptible hunt group (skill) is exceeded, agents with that interruptible skill who are in AUX with an interruptible reason code are notified that they are needed. The notification consists of a display message ("You are needed"), flashing auto-in and/or manual-in buttons and an audible tone. Agents who move to an interruptible Aux mode after the threshold is exceeded are also notified. The duration of notification to "Auto-In-Interrupt ("forced interruptible")" agents is administrable using the Interruptible Aux Notification Timer (sec) field on page 13 of feature-related system-parameters form. Notification to "requested" agents continues until a further event, such as the agent becoming available or logging off, takes place or the service level threshold is no longer exceeded. Auto-in-Interrupt ("forced interruptible") agents become available after the timer expires, except if they are on a non-ACD call, alerting, etc. A "forced" interruptible agent administered as Auto Answer is treated as "requested interruptible," not forced. This prevents a situation in which a call is delivered and automatically answered by the endpoint but no one answers the caller. Manual-in-Interrupt and Notify-Interrupt (also referred to as "requested interruptible") agents are notified but remain in AUX until they make themselves available. Agents who become available after being interrupted from AUX are made available for all of their skills, not just the one that exceeded its service level threshold.
!
Important:
Important: With this release the administration of agent skills for interruptible AUX is not supported by Avaya CMS (R15 or earlier) or Avaya IQ (5.0 or earlier). The setting for interruptible AUX type using the RL field can only be done using Communication Manager administration. Once interruptible AUX is defined for any of the agent's skills, CMS cannot display or change any skills for that agent using the CMS Change Agent Skills window. This same interaction occurs with Avaya IQ management of contact center preferences related to agents (queue and call handling assignments). All further skill/queue changes for those agents that have interruptible AUX assigned on the Agent Login ID screen must be done using switch administration. Please refer to the Communication Manager release notes and Product Support Notices on the Avaya Support Web site: http:// www.avaya.com/support for late-breaking information about this feature.

Percentage Allocation Routing section in Avaya Aura Call Center 5.2 Call Vectoring and Expert Agent Selection Reference
check skill 6 pri h if available-agents > 2 pref-level 16 (prefer specific skill level 16: lowest level) check skill 6 pri h if available-agents > 2 pref-range 1 to 3 (prefer skill level range 1-3: best) check skill 6 pri h if available-agents > 0 all-levels (no skill level preference - existing behavior)
The following scenario can help explain the usage of this functionality: A customer decides that out of the 16 different skill levels that can be used to support Skill 5 Widget, they prefer not to route calls to the most skilled agents (those at skill levels 1, 2, 3) but to the trainees, whose skill level is 10. If there are "Skill 5 Widget" agents available with skill level 10, the calls are routed to those agents. But if agents with skill level 10 are not available, the calls are routed to any agent that is available for skill 5. If there are no available agents for skill 5, the calls are queued, with low priority, to skill 5. The following command will implement these preferences:
check skill 5 pri l if available-agents >0 pref-level 10 queue-to skill 5 pri l
!
Important:
Important: With this release the administration of skill level preference on the check step cannot be done using Avaya CMS vector administration (R15 or earlier). Communication Manager administration will be required to add check steps with the pref-level parameter and any vectors that contain these steps cannot be accessed by CMS vector administration. Please refer to the Communication Manager release notes and Product Support Notices on the Avaya Support Web site: http://www.avaya.com/support for late-breaking information about this feature.

CMS and Avaya IQ administration to change skills for Interruptible AUX agents
The initial release of Interruptible AUX in Avaya Aura Communication Manager 5.2 prevented CMS or Avaya IQ from administering skills for agents who were assigned interruptible AUX values in the Reserve Level (RL) field for one or more skills on their Agent LoginID form. CMS could not display or change any skills for the agent using the Change Agent Skills/Multi-Agent Skill Change window. Avaya IQ could not make changes using the contact center preferences for those agents. Agents could only have the skill changes done using Communication Manager administration of the Agent LoginID form. With Communication Manager 5.2.1, you can now use CMS or Avaya IQ administration to make skill changes for these agents, although CMS and Avaya IQ have not been revised to specifically support the Interruptible AUX feature. Prior to the introduction of the Interruptible Aux feature, a skill level could not be assigned if the RL field was being used for Business Advocate. CMS uses an administration field called Level for either the skill level (1 - 16) or an Advocate RL value (1 or 2). With Interruptible Aux, the RL field, when not used for an Advocate reserve level, is used to set the interruption type (a, m, or n) while the skill level is also set. Since CMS and Avaya IQ have not yet been revised, when an Interruptible Aux type is set for a skill, the Level field displays the skill level but not the Interruptible Aux type. If an administrator attempts to use CMS or Avaya IQ to enter an Advocate reserve level in the Level field for a skill that has an Interruptible Aux value in the RL field on Communication Manager, the following error message will be shown: operation failed on the switch Administration operations are normal when Business Advocate is active and a reserve level (1 or 2) is entered in the RL field or is being interacted with, that is, with no Interruptible Aux value for the skill's Reserve Level field. All other changes to skill entries are allowed.
