Overview
A Call Center Queue or a Queue is a destination for Inbound calls. Inbound calls go through Queues before going to Agents. The Campaigns manage Queues and can be assigned to Agents and Inbound Numbers.
Below are steps for adding a New Queue and resources for configuring specific Queue Settings.

Adding a Queue
1.) Click the Call Center main menu.
2.) Click the Call Center Queues menu option.
The Show Queues page will open.
3.) Click the Add Queue button.
The Create Queue window will open.
4.) Enter a Name.
5.) Click the Create Queue button.
There will be several more steps to fill out the remaining Queue sections; each screen will feature a Skip button at the bottom of the window.
We recommend using the Skip button to bypass configuring your settings within the Create a Queue Wizard. Once you reach the end, you can configure these settings in a more spacious format within the Queue Settings page.
6.) Click the blue Finish button.
The Queue Settings page for your new Queue will open.
