• Non-ACD Calls: A peg count of the number of times that agents initiated or received a call on their individual extension telephone keys. Transfer and conference keys are also included in this category. The peg count is increase each time the agent engages an extension (or DN) key, regardless of whether or not they dial a number or whether a telephone connection takes place.
• Non-ACD state: A Non-ACD call is a call that is either placed or received on one of an agent's extensions. Non-ACD calls include Incoming, Outgoing and Internal calls that were placed from, or received at, an agent's extension.
• Not Ready (PCP): A state an agent can engage to finish paperwork associated with a recently finished ACD call. Not Ready is also called the Post Call Processing state. Agents enter the Not Ready state by engaging the Not Ready Key on their telephone sets. Agents should only engage the Not Ready key when performing work directly related to completing ACD calls. The Not Ready state should not be used for other activities not related to ACD calls (i.e., bathroom breaks, lunch, etc.).
