# ACD Settings Tab

Note: Some configuration settings do not apply to MiCollab Client Stand-alone Web Client users (see table for details).

Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) is an optional feature for Enterprises using MiCollab Client . ACD is used by call centers to manage incoming calls to a single directory number. The calls are distributed among a group of logged in call center agents. When ACD is enabled for the agent, the Desktop Client provides an ACD view.

The ACD Settings tab includes fields and options used to configure ACD groups, account codes, and busy reasons. When an ACD agent starts his or her MiCollab Client , the MiCollab Client Service sends the ACD settings to the client and populates the ACD view.

Select the Enterprise from the list box and then configure the following areas for ACD settings.

## ACD Groups (MiVoice Business only)

- Group ID: The Group ID should match the group ID of an ACD group configured on the MiVoice Business switch.

- Switch IP: The IP address of the MiVoice Business switch.

- Agents: The list of extensions included in the ACD group.

## Account Codes

To facilitate reporting, some call centers require account codes for ACD calls. At startup, account codes are sent to the desktop clients for the users (agents) who have been configured for the ACD feature. Agents can then apply the account code during the call from the Desktop Client's ACD view.

The Account Codes table contains the following column headings:

- Code: The numeric value for the account code (2-12 digits).
- Label: The description you provide for the account code.

You can Add, Edit, and Delete account codes.

When you are finished configuring Account Codes, click Apply to save the information, or click Reset to clear your changes.

## Busy Reasons

The Busy Reasons section allows you to manage the ACD busy reasons provided by the switch. The number of busy reasons displayed is determined by the switch type (see table below).

- Label: The default description, (or description that you provide), for the busy reason code.
