OUT OF SERVICE vs NOT OUT OF SERVICE

Still learning Symposium Script language and have an issue with how a caller queues. When the instruction is:
IF (CLID = east_area_code) THEN
IF NOT OUT OF SERVICE sk_east
THEN QUEUE TO SKILLSET sk_east
WAIT 5
ELSE
IF NOT OUT OF SERVICE sk_cent, sk_west
THEN QUEUE TO SKILLSET sk_cent, sk_west
WAIT 4
ELSE
EXECUTE Bkup_A

I know "IF NOT OUT OF SERVICE" means that agents are logged in and available for a call however, if the agent is on the call, does that mean the system 'sees' the skill set as "out of service"?

Also: Callers are queuing for 35 seconds or more before being presented to backup group A however if the agent in backup group A is logged in but on a call, the caller is held in queue and not passed to backup group B.

Question 1: if multiple skill sets are listed, does the service check each and wait 4 seconds for each or is it 4 seconds for the whole list?

The section above is one of three clid inquiries (east, central and west) that queue to different skill sets depending on the area code but all callers are passed to back up group A if unable to present to an agent in first skill set; then, if no agent is available in group A; the caller is supposed to pass to back up group B. Each area code backs up another (Central backs up East, West backs up Central, East backs up West)

Question 2: does the caller end up in a 'loop' because of the way the skill sets back one another up?

1. If the agent is busy on call, the skillset is still IN SERVICE.
2. If a skillset list is used on QUEUE TO SKILLSET command, the call is immediately queued to all of the skillsets. Then the WAIT 4 is executed, which is simply a pause on the script.
3. The caller may end up in a loop if all skillsets back each other up. You have to carefully put checks/tests to avoid infinite looping. It is also better to write the IF-THEN-ELSE command separately to avoid confusion with the call flow. Try using SECTIONS.

The call stays on the queue for 4 seconds on every skillset....

there is no chance for an loop because the wait time is speciifed on every skillset, the call will be answered on any of the skillsets specified..

Peak hour calls may face this problem based on the number of agents logged in at each skillset

I would something like this:

IF CLID = east_area_code AND
IF NOT OUT OF SERVICE sk_east
THEN QUEUE TO SKILLSET sk_east
END IF


IF CLID <>( DOES NOT =) east_area_code AND
IF NOT OUT OF SERVICE sk_cent, sk_west
THEN QUEUE TO SKILLSET sk_cent, sk_west
END IF

SECTION BKUP
EXECUTE Bkup_A

Thanks for all of the helpful info - the area codes are divided up East, Central and West, each backing up the other because of the skillset level for the first 20-25 seconds then the caller is presented to a backup group that can take info and respond, if not answered in 5 seconds the caller should be presented to a third backup group that can only take info for a call back. There is also an 'age of call' test - if the caller is not answered in 100 seconds (1:40) then the caller is supposed to be routed to a voice mailbox; however, this particular component of the script is erratic - sometimes a caller is queued for over 4 minutes before they finally abandon without ever being presented to the voice mailbox.
