Conversation details

This view shows operative details of conversations and is intended for advanced use.

Viewing a conversation

To view events of a conversation:

  1. Click its row in the Conversations table.


    A new view opens and displays first the general information of the conversation.
    Field Description
    Source The number or address from where the conversation originated
    Destination The number or address to which the conversation was made
    Agent The person who handled or is currently handling the conversation
    Duration How long the conversation and its handling took, including wrap-up
    Arrival Time The time when the conversation entered the system
    Conversation ID The ID of a conversation segment. This can be used as a search criterion in the ID field in the Conversations view.
    Group ID The ID for all conversations that are linked together. This can be used as a search criterion in the ID field in the Conversations view. In some cases, conversation and group ID are identical.

    For email search, use the email ID.

    Example

    An agent who has accepted an inbound customer call needs to make a consultation call to a colleague. The customer call is put on hold when the consultation call begins. When it ends, the agents resumes the customer call. There are two separate calls, and the customer call and the consultation call have their own conversation ID but they have the same group ID. When the group ID is used as a search criterion, the search returns both calls.
  2. For events of the conversation, see the Conversation Details table.
    The table shows the following information:
    • Time: when the event occurred
    • Duration: time taken since previous event
    • Cumulative Duration: how long all the events so far have lasted
    • Event: one phase of a conversation
    • State 1 and State 2: further details such as agent name and queue name

      Operator direct in state values refers to direct calls that either the agent has made or has received.

      Example

      Donna Moore made an outgoing call (Operator direct). The call was disconnected by the other party, and wrap-up started (1). If Donna Moore had disconnected the call, state 1 would show Agent. State 1 for the event Wrap-up ended shows the queue name (in this case Operator direct as it was a direct call), resting time if any, and the agent status which in this cas was wrap-up (1).

    To see the event descriptions in State 1 and State 2 columns in their technical form, select Show Technical Data. This technical form is useful when experts are tracing events in the system logs and alternatively for other developer based actions.

    Note: Events and their states are available only in English.

    If a conversation has scripts, they are shown in the Scripts tab.

    You can open a conversation in Communication Panel by clicking the View in Communication Panel button.

Marking a conversation as handled

If you have user rights to Control Contact, you can also mark a conversation as handled by clicking the Mark as Handled button. The purpose of this button is to add an end event for a conversation. It is intended for managing a situation where a conversation has ended in practice but for some reason the end event is missing. For calls, the button is only available after the call has been running for more than 12 hours.
