History

The default History view shows only the conversations where you have been the processor.

Use the filter or search functions to view conversations by other users or conversations based on certain criteria.

Note:

To see conversation statistics, you need the authorization Statistics Details to the user or queue. For Conversation Details you also need Manage Contact History to the user or queue.

To open the History view, click the Open Conversation History button.

By default, the view lists all your own conversations of the current day, but with the Filter and Search options you can see conversations also from other days or other processors. The maximum number of displayed conversations is 500, and the history can be filtered from one day to 4 weeks. For an email to be displayed in the view, the handling duration must be within the time limit. In chat and phone contacts, the criterion is the arrival time. With the Detailed Search (see below) you can specify an alternative date range.

Each conversation provides details in the following columns:

  • Click a smart link in the conversation row to start an action, for example, make a phone call, or send a message or email, as shown in the tooltip. (If the setting Hide Name in Addresses and Last Digits of Phone Numbers is System Configurator is in use, smart links are not available.)

  • Click the row to display Conversation Details, such as type, source, queue, status, arrival time, destination, agent and duration. Source and destination are shown as smart links, and you can start an action shown in the tooltip. If there is a script connected to the conversation, it is displayed in the detailed view as well.

  • If there is the Pick button, you can pick the conversation for handling.

  • If there are more than 500 conversations in the list, a message prompts you to define filters to limit the number of results.

  • You can open conversations for viewing. They appear in your conversation list under Viewing. You can close the conversations one by one or close them all by clicking Viewing and Close Viewed Conversations.

    If you have conversations in your Viewing list, it is cleared when you log out from Communication Panel.

  • If a call, or part of it, has been recorded, the Recording icon is displayed at the end of the conversation row. Click the row to open the Conversation Details view, and listen to the recording with the Play Recording button.
  • If the conversation is being transferred to another agent or queue, an arrow icon is displayed in the Agent column. The tooltip of the icon shows the name of the agent who transferred the conversation.
