About Caller ID

A Caller ID is typically the phone number that you want displayed on the phone of the person who receives the call when the agent consults, conferences, or transfers a call.

You can also specify a display name, such as your company name, to be included with the Caller ID. For example, SalesForMore 1-555-555-5555. In this case, Agent Workspace shows SalesForMore on the list of Caller IDs that an agent can select.

Creating a shareable Caller ID business attribute

Caller IDs can be used as shareable business attributes for agents, agents groups, and the global contact center. To see how to create shareable business attributes, see Business attributes.
