About Configuring Agent Voice Settings
After configuring voice at the group level, you can customize it at the individual agent level.
You must modify the employee record to enable voice for the employee.
Other configuration tasks involve assigning agents to the agent groups that you created (see Creating Agent Groups) and assigning agents to the skill groups that you created (see Creating Skill Groups).

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| VOIP Device | The phone that the agent is currently using. |
| Voice Number | The phone number of the agent. |
| Override Voice Number | Optional. Usually left empty. Updates automatically when you override your extension from the Voice toolbar. |
| Agent Group | Group to which the agent belongs. |
| Recording % |
The percentage of time that the calls for this agent are recorded. |
| Not Ready Reason Required | Optional. Specifies if the agent must indicate a not ready reason when switching to the not ready state. The Voice toolbar enables agents to manually indicate when they are in the ready state (available to handle calls) or the not ready state (unavailable to handle calls). If an agent switches to the not ready state, the toolbar allows the agent to select a predefined not ready reason. Group Defined: The not ready reason required is defined at the group level, as described in Creating Agent Groups. Required: The agent must indicate a not ready reason when in the not ready state. Not Required: The agent does not need to indicate a reason when in the not ready state. |
| Wrapup Timeout |
Indicates the amount of time that an agent can spend after a call. After hanging up with a caller, the agent state switches automatically to the after-call work state, during which time the agent is unavailable to take calls while completing the after-call work related to the call. In the default configuration, the agent remains in the after-call work state until the agent manually switches to the Ready state; however, you can use the Agent WrapUp Timeout option to determine the maximum amount of time an agent can spend in the after-call work state. After the time expires, the server automatically switches the agent to the ready state. Group Defined: The timeout is defined at the group level, as described in Creating Agent Groups. Agent Defined: The timeout is defined for the agent. Enter the time frame in seconds in the Wrapup Seconds field that appears. Disabled: No limit is imposed; the agent remains in the after-call work state until manually switching to the ready state. |
