Configuring Reporting and Monitoring Settings
You must have rights to modify queues or to create queues.
You use this procedure to configure settings related to reporting and monitoring.
- On the System Configurator main screen, choose .
- Search for the queue whose settings you want to configure.
The search result list appears.
- Choose the queue by double-clicking it.
- Choose Reporting and Monitoring.
- Configure the settings according to the following table.
The settings that are marked with an asterisk (*) are typically defined for the channel, see Configuring Channel Settings. If you define the value here for a queue, it overwrites the channel setting for that specific queue.
Service level 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 calls answered on time / (arrived calls – false attempts).

.The default values are as follows:

Note that if you change the value, it is taken into use next day when the Batch Job Server (BJS) job (the default schedule is once per day) and SQL job (the default schedule is once per hour) have run. To take the changed value into use immediately, add a new schedule for BJS and execute the SQL job manually. For more information, see Configuring Batch Job Server (BJS) Settings.
