A skill profile is a set of skills, each with an assigned value, that you assign to an agent-based team or to an individual agent. For example, you can assign a skill of English, with a high level of proficiency in one skill profile and a lower level in another profile.

In Webex Contact Center, the system uses proficiency skill values to compare and:

When the Best Available routing pattern is used, proficiency skill values also influence how the system routes contacts. Normally, the system uses the actual proficiency value in score calculation, because a higher skill score indicates a stronger match. Except when a skill requirement or criterion uses the less-than-equal-to (<=) condition, the system inverts that specific proficiency value of the agent during score calculation. That is, effective_skill_value = (10) minus (actual_skill_value). This ensures that a lower score indicates a stronger match.
