2. Provide a name for the queue.
3. Select a value for the queue priority. This value will be used for "Priority" type queues.
4. Request Queue Type: It lets you define which customer will be served first if more than one customers are waiting in the queue.
   1. Queue FIFO: FIFO stands for First In First Out. If request queue type is FIFO and two customers are waiting in queue for the agent, the customer who is first to reach in the queue would be connected first to the available agent.
   2. Queue Priority: Nodeflow can be used to decide the priority of any customer. Queue with "1" priority will be selected first. Similarly, Queue with "2" priority will be selected at the second place.
      Example:
      Question: If customer1 (who reached earlier) is waiting in Queue1 having priority 1 and customer2 (who reached late) is waiting in the Queue2 having priority 2, and if only one agent is serving both queues, then what will happen? Let us go through the following table.

      Queue	Queue Priority	Customer	Agent
      Queue1	1	Customer1	Agent1
      Queue2	2	Customer2	Agent1

      Answer: In such a scenario, Agent1 will be connected first with "Customer1" as its queue - Queue1 - has higher priority.

5. Resource Scheduler Type (Licensable): It will let you decide which agent would be connected to the customer when two agents are available to take the chat or call. Select any of the following options.
   1. Multiple Extension: Select it if the agents have multiple extensions and they are supposed to attend multiple communications (chat or call) simultaneously. One agent can be connected to two customers in the same queue.
   2. Skill Based:Select it to connect the communication (chat or call) to that agent who has more skill level than others.
6. Transferable: Select it to transfer the communication call or chat from this new queue to another queue.
7. Provide a description for the queue.
8. Assign Users in Queue: Select the users from the "Available Users" section and click icon.

   To unassign a user, select the users in "Assigned Users" and click icon.
