WEIGHTED
string

Sends calls to idle agents based on percentages you assign to each agent (up to 100%).

boolean

If false, then the option is treated as "Advance when busy". The hunt group won't ring agents when they're on a call and advances to the next agent. If a hunt group agent has call waiting enabled and the call is advanced to them, the call waits until that hunt group agent isn't busy.
