Queue Alarms

On this page:

The [toc] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.

Queue Alarm Configuration

The Queues Alarm Configuration page allows you to configure a set of Queue Alarms that will be displayed for a selection of users. You can access the Queues configuration page by selecting Phone System->Queues Alerts in the Administration Interface.

Configuring the users

The target users can be selected through the lists User Group, Include Users and Excluded Users. The configured alerts will appear for all users that are either in one of the selected groups or are explicitly listed in the included users. It goes without saying that users listed in Exclude Users will never be targeted.

Alarms

New Alarms can be added to the Alarm Configuration by selecting a Alert Type from the dropdown list and clicking add Alarm. Each alarm will trigger a visual hint (screenshot 2) in the client's Queue Widget when the value of the Alert Type's target statistic is within the specified range. If any of the ranges overlap only one of the matching visual hints will display. Since Alarms are not ordered it could be any of the overlapping of the Alarm's hints that will be display. We therefor recommend not overlapping the Alarms. 

In addition to the visual hint a notification can be shown to the users by checking the notification check box. This will result in a notification in the lower right corner of the client as shown in screenshot 2. Notifications for overlapping ranges are all displayed as they stack on top of each other. Notification will only be visible to users that have the queue widget on their active dashboard.

Once a alert configuration is saved it can be added to a queue via the queue configuration.
