Volume Reports - Contacts

Volume reports display information on quantity of contacts for the selected application, queue, and channel over the defined time period. The upper level includes links to lower level reports, thus, you can open a monthly report from the annual one. 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 6 volume reports that have a similar structure and data content. Only the reported time intervals are different. Volume reports 1-6 are: Annual, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, Hourly, and Quarter-Hourly.

To filter data displayed in the reports, define the following filters:
