How To Implement “priority Queuing” Within A Single Queue ?
Tags: caller, callers, priority levels, queue, queues
Hi,
Let say that in a call center, callers are recognized and categorized in 4
priority levels (priority 1 for Very Very Important Personalities, 2 for VIP, and so on) before entering a Queue. How can you make sure a priority 2 caller is answered before priority 3
callers, for instance ?
I can think of several solutions but none really pleases me :
1. Have 4 different queues, set penalty value and let each caller enter one queue depending on its own priority. I don’t like this solution because I foresee editing stats for 4 queues instead of one is harder.
2. Iterate over each call waiting in the queue and insert new call with Queue’s position argument accordingly valued. I don’t like this one because I’m afraid coding this won’t be so easy.
What would you suggest ?
