<p class="MsoNormal">You certainly could use the API to automatically adjust skills but then you'd have to write an application around that which is probably outside of most peoples' capabilities. If re-skilling is the way you want to go you could certainly
leverage something like our reselling software (screenshots follows, integrates into Jabber or can be used as a standalone web application):<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><img border="0" width="417" height="562" id="_x0000_i1025" src="cid:image001.png@01D0E6EE.0EC7E290"><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">But that may not be the best solution for your users (re-skilling is manual and available only to supervisors). If the problem is just that periodically the queue gets too overwhelming I'd recommend overflow queuing based on a threshold
(such as position or current wait duration, note: not expected wait duration). If there are more than $x number of callers in queue or the amount of time spent waiting exceeds $x amount of time queue to a secondary queue. This would be automatic and require
no manual involvement. You could even go so far as to enable the ability to turn on or off this kind of functionality. Otherwise if the manual option is the preferred way to go something like our software above (supported on UCCX 9.0SU3 and later) or using
the appadmin interface may be the way to go.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I was just reading a bit about the UCCX API in 10.5 - would it be possible to have a script that periodically monitors Tier 1 queue and if certain CSQ stat reaches a threshold it modifies the minimum skill on the CSQ such that T2 folks
start getting calls? Just throwing other ideas to see what sticks, I've never used the API before :)<o:p></o:p></p>
