Transfer Wrap Up Time The time in seconds that an agent spends in Wrap Up (Auto) after transferring a call. Transfer Wrap Up Time is an account-level setting.
The default value is 5.
Outbound Settings 
No Answer Time-Out When an agent makes an outbound call, VCC tries to connect the agent for the number of seconds you specify in No Answer Time-Out. The default is 15 seconds.
Outbound Wrap-Up Time When an agent completes a call, they go into the Wrap Up (Auto) state after making an outbound call for the number of seconds you specify in Outbound Wrap-Up Time. The default is 180 seconds. The agent can use this time to make notes about the previous call, for example. Agent Post Call State After the agent leaves the Wrap Up (Auto) state at the end of a completed call, the agent goes into the state that you specify in Agent Post Call State.
Available options are:
- Ready
- Ready (Offline)
Leave Unchanged. The agent goes back into their pre-call state when they complete their outbound call.
Salesforce only
This option works only with calls made using Click to dial or Connect in Salesforce. If an agent makes an outbound call using the Make Call button in ContactPad, they go into Ready (Offline) state when they complete the call.
The default is Ready. For information about agent states, see Configuring agent states.
Consult Settings 
No Answer Time-Out When an agent clicks to consult with a third-party during a call, VCC attempts to connect the call to the specified agent or telephone number. VCC attempts to connect the call for the number of seconds you specify in No Answer Time-Out. The default is 45 seconds. After this time the consult times out and an error message appears in ContactPad. Allowed values are in inclusive range from 5 seconds to 180 seconds. Interaction Capacity Settings 
Live (e.g. Phone) The capacity of a live interaction, such as a phone call.
Default value is 100.
The minimum capacity of live interactions is 51. This minimum ensures that an agent can never work on more than one live interaction at the same time. The agent can, however, work on semi- or non-live interactions while working on a live interaction. The number and type of other interactions depends on the other interaction types' capacity settings.
Non-Live (e.g. Case) The capacity of a non-live interaction, such as an email.
Default value is 25.
Semi-Live (e.g. Chat) The capacity of a semi-live interaction, such as a web chat.
Default value is 33.
Optimum Load Settings 
Optimum Load The ideal capacity that an agent's assigned interactions should consume. VCC preferentially routes interactions to agents whose assigned interactions consume closest to but less than their optimum load.
Default value is 65.
Max Idle Time Maximum time that agents able to handle interactions can be idle. An idle agent is one that is available but not working on any interactions. If any potential agents have been idle for longer than the configured time, VCC temporarily disables optimum load and routes the interactions accordingly.
Default value is 30 minutes.
Account Location Settings 
Account Location The location of the call center. National Number Display Format The format in which VCC displays phone numbers in ContactPad. For information on where this format is used in VCC in Salesforce, see Telephone number formats in Vonage Contact Center in Salesforce.
