ACD workgroup Automatic call distribution method in which a workgroup of agents
answers calls to a single extension, and callers wait on hold until an agent is available.
Examples of ACD workgroups include a sales or technical support department. An ACD
workgroup uses an ACD workgroup user with a special routing list to answer calls and
forward them to a workgroup that contains the agents. The ACD workgroup method is not
as fully featured as the Strata CS call center method of call distribution.
