What does the overflow capability do in Advanced Work Assignment when defined?

• A. When one support group reaches capacity the work item is automatically routed to another group.
• B. Uses matching and assignment rules to send work items to the agent with the highest availability
• C. Routes cases to different groups based on their skill set availability
• D. Uses matching & assignment rules to send work items to the agent with the most capacity

Answer: (A)

Overflow in Advanced Work Assignment is about moving work when the primary group is at capacity. When you define overflow, a work item automatically routes to another pre-defined group once the designated group hits its capacity threshold. This keeps work flowing and prevents backlog by shifting workload to an alternative group, rather than sticking to a single queue. This is different from routing rules that pick an agent based on availability or skill, which focus on who within the organization handles the item, not on moving the item to another group due to capacity.
