Agent - Contact Handling Time

The Agent Contact Handling Time reports show group- and agent-specific contact handling times over time periods. Reports are based on the data in the CubCSSContacts cube in Microsoft Reporting Services or the Contact universe in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence. There are 4 reports; the annual, monthly, weekly, and daily reports have similar structure and data content. Only the reported time intervals are different.

Reports replace the Contacts per Agent report of previous versions, and deliver agent productivity and performance metrics, such as:

How long time my agents spend on average in contacts handling and wrap-up?
What is the contacts handling performance of my agents and teams?
How markable are performance differences between my teams, or individual agents?

The Agent - Contact Handling Time reports are sorted by Group – Agent – Time – Queue. The reports are also expandable / collapsible in this order.

Note: Variation in the number of handled contacts shown in the Agent Contact Handling Time and Agent Contact Handling Volume reports is result of the different database tables:

Agent Contact Handling Time uses the FactCEMContacts table which enters the contact on the day it has been handled.
Agent Contact Handling Volume uses the FactCEMAgents table to manage the contact handled entries for a specific day. It may also include contacts arriving prior to the actual contact handled day.

Calculated value TalkingTimeAgentInSeconds is used for reporting transferred contacts’ handling and wrap-up times. Agent talking time is reported until the call transfer has been completed.

An agent’s contact handling time ends when they make a transfer request. This also starts the wrap-up time, and the wrap-up made during the contact can be included in Wrap-Up Time.
