[cisco-voip] CCX queue priority logic

[Anthony Holloway]

This is a common point of confusion.  I hope to clear it up the best I can.

The UCCX system does two things to connect Agents to Callers.

1) Select Which Caller is Next
Which call is next up, is based on a series of 10 queues, or what you know
as priorities.  Callers in these queues are treated via First In/First Out,
and UCCX will empty the queues from 10 to 1, or highest priority to lowest
priority.  There are no skills or CSQ names involved in this process.  You
cannot change this behavior.  You can only choose which priority level the
caller is in.

2) Select Which Agent is Next for the Next Caller
Once UCCX has a caller ready to go, the Agent selection process looks at
the CSQ name, minimum competency, and other factors such as weighting, to
determine which of the available Agents will be selected to handle this
caller.  This is what you impact with CSQ ans Skills (or Resource Groups).

So, hopefully, now you can see that there are two distinct processes
happening.  I hope that helped.
