The skill topic includes service levels. A service level answers 'how fast is acceptable,' usually as a percent of contacts answered inside a number of seconds. It does not, by itself, reorder the queue. Priority does the ordering. The scoreboard tells you if the ordering and the staffing worked.
- Set a service level you mean
- Do not move it to hide a miss
A blend that steals agents will miss the inbound service level even when the skill is configured perfectly. The scoreboard is how you prove the steal rule.
Do not turn the scoreboard to steer.
