    In the ACW settings when creating/updating a queue, what is the difference between MANDATORY TIMEOUT and MANDATORY FORCED_TIMEOUT?

    Does MandatoryTimeout map to "Mandatory, Time-boxed" and MandatoryForced_Timeout map to "Mandatory, Time-boxed no early exit" or vice versa? as defined here: https://help.mypurecloud.com/articles/configure-call-work-settings/

    Product configuration questions are best suited for the PureCloud Community Forum or opening a case with PureCloud Care.

    MANDATORY TIMEOUT and MANDATORY FORCED_TIMEOUT are values set via the API when creating queues, not sure where the question belongs in this case.

    Not clear from documentation: https://developer.mypurecloud.com/api/rest/v2/routing/index.html#postRoutingQueues

    Sorry, you didn't mention any APIs and linked to product docs; didn't realize it was an API question.

    • Optional > OPTIONAL
    • Mandatory, Discretionary > MANDATORY
    • Mandatory, Time-boxed > MANDATORY_TIMEOUT
    • Mandatory, Time-boxed no early exit > MANDATORYFORCEDTIMEOUT
