Queues

This guide goes over how to set up a queue on your 3CX system through the management console. 

Creating the queue

Once you have logged into the management console click on the Call Queues from there follow the below steps:

1. Click on the blue +Add button to create a new queue. This will use the next sequential number as shown below with the default values
   
   
2. Fill in the required fields:
   
   1. Name - Please pick a friendly name so you can identify this later
   2. Extension - This automatically populates and doesn't need to be edited
   3. Polling Strategy - This is the way you want the queue to operate, the most common are Prioritized Hunt and Ring All
      • Prioritize Hunt - This rings the agents one at a time in order, moving to the next agent at the end of the ring time
      • Ring All - This rings all available agents for the duration of the ring time
3. Once you have filled this out, you would also need to select the Destination if no answer below. This is where you would like the call to go if no one is able to answer the call.

Adding agents to the queue

Once you have finished on the general tab, please select the Agents tab to the right. 

1. Click on the blue + Add button
2. Find the agent you wish to add to this queue and select them
3. Click Ok to add them to the list

Once you have finished adding in all the agents you need to this queue, clicking the blue Ok button on the top will save your changes.
