Hunt Groups allow users within a group to be included in a specified sub-group to handle incoming calls received by an assigned Hunt Groups phone number. Group administrators can choose from any of the following hunt schemes, each of which rings the specified phones in a different manner:
Circular sends calls in a fixed order. The call is sent to the first available person on the list, beginning where the last call left off.
Regular sends calls to users in the order listed by an administrator. Incoming calls go to the first available person on the list, always starting with the first person on the list.
Simultaneous rings all of the users in the group simultaneously; the first user to pick up the ringing phone is connected.
With Uniform, as a call is completed, the user moves to the bottom of the call queue in a shuffling fashion. The next incoming call goes to the user who has been idle for the longest. If a user receives a call that was not directed to them through the hunt group, the call will not be included in the receiving order for Uniform calls.
