You can determine from skillgroupstatistics the CallsQNow which shows calls queued to a skill. You could play a sound when CallsQNow for any of the agent's skills is > 0

Hi David

Thanks for your reply..

Could you please elaborate... I have picked the report ... Peripheral Skill group real time all fields and selected the current field from the grid and selected CallsQNow and right click and set threshold- has only options to change the text color and background color or put in the link for the image under image location

I do not see any option to play sound .. My Cuic is on version : Version:8.5(2) build 1 (8_5_2_10000_90)

Your prompt response would be appreciated.

Thanks

You would have to play the sound yourself using the Windows API. You will need to refer to Microsoft for doing that. I was not referring to doing any of this with CUIC (which is out of scope for this forum).

I was referring to obtaining the SkillGroupStatistics via the CTIOS API.

Hi David
 
Do you have any document on how to do this ... do i have to go back to my cisco accounts team or the people who build the CTI toolkit for me. to enhance the toolkit ?
if you could please ellobrate that would be great
 
Thanks

I do not know what you mean by people building the toolkit for you. You would need to enhance your application to enable sound using the Windows native sound API. You can receive skillgroupstatistics and then handle the statistics any way you choose (such as highlighting it or playing a sound). There is a thread on how to enable skillgroupstatistics here

Another way to handle this is on the ICM system itself and a small windows utility or the desktop whatever you like. I did an app years ago on 7.2 that where the ICM Server itself would call a microapp in the Callflow that would call send a broadcast( or multicast ) packet out on the network that would then be caught by a small windows utility that would play a sound when it got one of those packets. The nice thing about using this was that you could build it as a stand alone or a CTIOS desktop so that non-CTIOS employees could be notified as well such as executives.
