Description

Abandoned

The contacts that have not been answered. Only the contacts that have exceeded the false attempt limit, are included.

Arrived

The sum of all inbound contacts that have arrived into the system.

Calls: Average Hang-up Time

The average duration of abandoned contacts, false attempts are not included.

Calls Out

The outbound calls connected to internal or external numbers. The calls that have not been connected are not included.

Contacts answered-on-time

The handled inbound contacts with waiting times less than or equal to the Answered-on-Time limit. The limit can be set either for each channel in SC System Management > Channels > Voice/E-Mail/Chat Channel > Reporting and Monitoring, or for each queue in SC Queue Management > Queues > Reporting and Monitoring.

The default values for the limit are:

  • For phone queues: 20 seconds

  • For e-mail queues: 3600 seconds (1 hour)

  • For chat queues: 60 seconds.

During Prompt

The caller hangs up during the Prewelcome message, that is, the calls are not located in the queues yet.

False Attempts

The contacts that have not been answered, and the caller has disconnected the call before exceeding the False Attempt limit. For example, when a person calls to a wrong number and realizes that before nobody answers. The limit can be set either for each channel in SC System Management > Channels > Voice/E-Mail/Chat Channel > Reporting and Monitoring, or for each queue in SC Queue Management > Queues > Reporting and Monitoring.

The default values for the limit are:

  • For phone queues: 5 seconds

  • For e-mail queues: Not in use.

  • For chat queues: 30 seconds.

Handled

The served inbound contacts, and contacts successfully forwarded to another application or external number.

Service level (SL)

Service level (for 30 minutes, 2 hours, or 1 day) of a contact center or a specific queue is calculated as percentage of contacts answered-on-time of arrived contacts, false attempts are not included:

SL = 100% x contacts answered on time / (arrived contacts − false attempts)

Talking Time

The time between the connection and disconnection points for all answered and served inbound contacts that were not forwarded.

For forwarded contacts, it is the time between forwarding (reconnection) and disconnection.

Waiting Time

Waiting time is calculated in the following ways:

  • Contacts in a queue: arrival to queue – current time

  • Handled contacts: arrival to queue – connection time

  • Abandoned calls: arrival to queue – disconnection time
