    No Action: No action will be completed if the agent is unavailable.

    CID: This is the number the system will try and call if the agent dials out. The number placed here will depend on your Line Provider (Note: If nothing is entered the system will use your main office number).
    Penalty: This will determine when an agent is called when a call enters the queue (Note: Agents with low priorities will be called before agents with high priorities).
    Static: This sets if the agent selected is Static or Roaming, for example, a manager will be a fixed static extension, whereas queue members will be roaming (Note: The Device ID corresponds to the handset).
