Settings
Settings button opens a dialog where age bonus can be changed if that feature is available for the pool.
Age bonus - service pool priority
Settings dialog contains a slider which is be used for defining a service pool's priority. The priority is defined using Age bonus (seconds) setting. An age bonus is used to prioritize service calls between pools. The age bonus makes the calls appear “older” than they actually are. The default value is 100 seconds. A higher age bonus means that calls in the pool are prioritized first since they appear older and are allocated first to serving users.
If there are already calls in queue, then changing the priority value does not change the priority of existing calls in queue.
Cancel and Save buttons at the bottom are used to save or discard any possible changes. Both close the dialog.
