Call Transfer Shortcut Keys

Requirements: Your rights determine the actions you can perform on interactions. This includes using shortcut keys. You need the Transfer Interactions Security right to transfer interactions in My Interactions. Access Control rights determine which actions you can perform on other queues you have the rights to display. To Transfer interactions, you need the appropriate Modify Station Queues, Modify User Queues, or Modify Workgroup Queues Access Control rights.

Call Transfer Shortcut Keys are reserved for Operator Console users. However, all users can employ the standard shortcut keys for navigation, queues, and directories. For more information, see Shortcut Keys.

Transferring a call without speaking to the intended recipient is called a blind transfer. Use a blind transfer if you do not need to speak with the recipient before transferring the call. If the intended recipient does not answer, the call is sent to the recipient’s voice mail.

Transferring a call after speaking with the intended recipient is called a consult transfer. Use a consult transfer if you need to speak with the recipient before transferring the call. If the intended recipient does not answer the phone, you can resume your conversation with the caller, transfer the call to the intended recipient’s voice mail, or transfer the call to another person.
