Agent - Contact Handling Volume

The reports show group- and agent-specific volume statistics over different contact channels and time period. Reports are based on the agent data in the CubCSSAgent cube in Microsoft Reporting Services or the Agent universe in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence. There are 4 reports; the annual, monthly, daily and hourly reports have similar structure and data content. Only the reported time intervals are different.

Reports replace the Contact Handling report template of previous versions, and answer the needs of a multichannel contact center, such as:

  • Are there any differences in contact handling rates between calls, e-mails and chats?

  • How many calls, e-mails and chats do my agents handle during a specific time frame?

  • Which of my agents are the top performers in e-mail handling?

The Agent – Contact Handling Volume reports are sorted by GroupAgentTime. 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.
