Can agent in READY state go NOT READY (Finesse) while queue call is presented?

New to UCCX.  Coming from Avaya Aura Contact Center.  We have some agents that multi-task, like dealing with customers at a front window, talking to a manager at their desks, etc.  AACC would allow agent to press NOT READY key when a call was presented while they were tied up doing something else and couldn't take the call.  The call then went to next agent READY in the queue.  This allowed them to stay ready all the time and only have to hit NOT READY on the occasional time where they chose not to take that call.  I can't find a way to do this in UCCX/Finesse.  The not ready key in the GUI changes to RESERVED (whatever that means).

 

Am I missing something or do I have to train them to hit NOT READY every time they're doing something else and hitting READY every time they free up (this will be a lot more button pushing than they're used to).

An agent cannot move from the Reserved state to the Not Ready state manually. If they ignore the call they will be placed in the Not Ready state after the Connect timer (default 10 seconds) has expired.

The Reserved state basically means the system has selected that agent for the call and prevents any other entity changing the agent state.

I am not sure why this behaviour should be a problem. In your Avaya scenario the agents phone would be ringing before they go not ready so the difference would only be a few seconds more ringing for the Cisco product.
