Avaya's coverage path system can be a complex and confusing topic for users. In this article, we will delve into the world of Avaya's coverage paths to understand why they might not work as expected.
Coverage paths are used in Avaya's Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system to direct calls to specific extensions or points. A coverage path consists of multiple parts, including the first point, subsequent points, and the next path.
Each part of the coverage path has its own set of criteria that determine whether a call is routed to it. For example, if the "Busy" criterion is set to "y", calls will be directed to the subsequent points only if they are busy.
One common issue users face when working with coverage paths is that the next path follows what the first one doesn't cover. This means that even if a call is routed to the first point, it may not be directed to subsequent points due to conflicting criteria.
In the case of Avaya's coverage path system, the next path is checked for any criteria set to "n" looking for a "y" in the next coverage-path. This means that if the "Busy" criterion on the first point is set to "n", calls will not be directed to subsequent points unless they meet the criteria of the next path.
One common solution to this problem is to use a remote point. By using a remote point, you can create a coverage path that directs calls to specific extensions or points based on their availability.
Another solution is to adjust the criteria for each part of the coverage path. For example, if you want a call to be directed to the next point even if it's busy, you can set the "Busy" criterion to "y".
Here are some best practices and tips for working with Avaya's coverage path system:
Coverage paths can be a powerful tool for managing calls in Avaya's IVR system. However, they require careful planning and configuration to ensure that they work as expected. By understanding the basics of coverage paths, identifying common issues, and following best practices, you can create flexible and effective coverage paths that meet your organization's needs.
