• Sequential — Incoming calls hunt through agents in the order they appear in the list, starting from the top each time.
• Simultaneous — Incoming calls alert all agents at the same time. The first agent to answer handles the call.

• Weighted call distribution — Incoming calls are assigned to idle agents based on percentages assigned on the Weighted Call Distribution page.
