Abstract: A system, method, and article of manufacture is provided for compiling visual primitives of a transaction flow used by a transaction processing system. Visual primitives of the transaction flow are compiled into multiple routing instructions, which may be stored in a routing table. The routing instructions are then provided to the transaction processing system. The routing instructions are stored in a database contained in the transaction processing system. The routing table is converted into a native language of the transaction processing system. The system is also capable of accessing a series of routing instructions from a transaction processing system, compiling the routing instructions into visual primitives of the transaction flow, and displaying the visual primitives of the transaction flow on a visual display.

Abstract: A system is provided for allocating resources in a call center. The system identifies a record associated with a resource in the call center. The record includes an attribute associated with the operation of the resource. The system controls the operation of the resource in response to the attribute contained in the record associated with the resource. The record associated with the resource is modified in response to a resource change request. The resource change request may be generated by a host coupled to the call center or by a device contained within the call center. The modified record provides a different set of permitted activities for the associated resource. A particular record may contain multiple attributes associated with the operation of the resource.
