    Ok, so if i set the delay between hold and unhold to a low value,
    lets say 5secs, is there a problem for the system? (25 seat license)<br>
    Will it crush or something like this.<br>
    Because, 5 seconds delay i guess reduces the possibility for
    unfairiness!!<br>

                    there is caller one how wants sales and is in the

                                    First, I want you to know, it's not
                                    because of your Standard licensing
                                    that is causing the CSQ's to be
                                    FIFO; it's FIFO in all license
                                    models.  Getting around FIFO is
                                    something a lot of people try to
                                    accomplish.
                                    <div> <br>
                                    </div>
                                    <div>Second,  the solution is a
                                      scripting trick, not a UCCX admin
                                      config.  Priorities wont work for
                                      you, because you are not queuing
                                      callers in both CSQ's at the same
                                      time.  What you need is a check in
                                      the Sales script logic, that does
                                      not actually do a "Select
                                      Resource" until there are Ready
                                      Agents to service the caller.</div>
                                    <div><br>
                                    </div>
                                    <div>How do you do that?  Well, it's
                                      a bit of a pseudo queue.  You
                                      create a queue loop prior to the
                                      Select Resource step, and inside
                                      of it, you are checking an ACD
                                      statistic for Ready Agents in the
                                      Sales CSQ.  If this value is less
                                      than 1, then keep looping, else,
                                      Select Resource.</div>
                                    <div><br>
                                    </div>
                                    <div>You are basically operating on
                                      the premise that: for as long as
                                      there are callers queued in the
                                      Support CSQ, your Agents couldn't
                                      be Ready.  So as soon as you have
                                      Ready Agents, this is your signal
                                      that it's okay to queue to Sales
                                      for the same group of Agents.</div>
                                    <div><br>
                                    </div>
                                    <div>Be careful though.  There is a
                                      reason it's FIFO and you cannot
                                      change that.  You will run the
                                      risk of starving the Sales CSQ
                                      with a steady flow of Support
                                      calls throughout the day.  One way
                                      to mitigate this starvation is to
                                      add logic to your Sales script
                                      that injects callers into the
                                      Sales CSQ at certain intervals:
                                      either by time, or by callers
                                      currently queued in Support.</div>
                                    <div><br>
                                    </div>
                                    <div>Make sense?  You have a
                                      challenge ahead of you.  Good
                                      luck!</div>
