Series: Historical adherence

Prerequisites

  • Workforce Management > Adherence > View permission

Information in the historical adherence view varies based on the number of agents in the management, work teams, and dates requested. Due to this, retrieving data for the first time could take several minutes. After the first view, the default view that loads is the same data that you selected during your previous visit. To view data based on work teams, see Access the historical adherence view.

The following table lists the fields and its corresponding descriptions.

Area Description
Date filter Displays the week selection done in the previous selection.  You can however modify the date range by clicking the date selector  Calendar icon icon.
By Adherence dropdown Use this dropdown to view agent details either by adherence or conformance. 
By Agents dropdown Use this dropdown to select the adherence view based on the number of agents in the currently selected management unit or by the total number of exceptions for the selected time range.  You can view the exception data of an agent by clicking the corresponding links in the Exceptions column in the table below.
Average Adherence % Displays the average adherence percentage of the agents in the management unit for the selected time range.
Target Adherence % Displays the target adherence percentage to be achieved in the selected time range.
Average Conformance Displays the average conformance percentage of the entire management unit for the selected time range. This information appears when in the Conformance view.
Adherence over time bar chart

Shows adherence percentage for the selected period. Click or point to a bar to see adherence percentages about a specific date in the selected range. 

Adherence over time bar chart

This bar chart displays by default on the Historical Adherence view. This chart is also displayed when the data is selected for adherence and does not display when the data is selected for conformance. This selection is made in the By Adherence dropdown on the upper right of the page.

Click a bar to view a detailed report for the selected date.

Note: When you view this chart for your work team the target adherence graph line is not displayed when the agents belong to different management units as the target adherence can be different for each management unit. In case, the target adherence is the same for the management units the agent map under, then the average target adherence graph line is displayed.
Conformance over time bar chart

Shows conformance percentage for the selected period. Click or point to a bar to see conformance percentages about a specific data in the selected range.

Conformance over time bar chart

This bar chart displays only when you select conformance in the By Adherence dropdown on the upper right of the page.

Agent

The number of agents in the currently selected management unit. In day and week views, you can:

  • Click the Agents link to view a consolidated list of exceptions by agent. Each agent includes an expandable button. Click this button to view exception information for the agent by line item, including duration, impact, scheduled, actual, status, and secondary status.
  • Click the Exceptions link to combine individual exceptions by agent. This view includes exception start date and time, duration, impact, scheduled activity, actual activity, status, and secondary status.
Management unit

Displays the management unit the agent belongs. This is helpful especially during work team view where agents can belong to different management units. When you hover on the management unit detail, the following details are displayed:

  • Severe adherence threshold
  • Adherence exception threshold
  • Adherence target
  • Activity equivalency
  • Working outside shift considered exception
  • Ignorance for adherence 
Adherence % The agent’s percentage of adherence. This figure is calculated as follows: (1 – (total exception time / (total scheduled time in interval))) * 100; range: 0-100%.
Conformance %

The agent’s percentage of conformance. This figure is calculated as follows: (total in conformance time / total time for scheduled activities for conformance in interval) * 100; min: 0%.

Note: If an agent works, but is not on the schedule, then appears in the Conformance column for this agent.

Exceptions

The agent’s total number of exceptions for the selected time period.

Use the link in this field to combine individual exceptions by agent. This view includes the management unit, exception start date and time, duration, duration adherence, impact, scheduled code, actual code, scheduled activity, actual activity, status, and secondary status. You can view the same data by selecting Exceptions from the Agent dropdown on the upper right of the page.

Exceptions Duration (Adherence)

The total time of exceptions for the period, minus the exception count, multiplied by configured minimum exception threshold (exceptionDuration – (exceptionCount * exceptionThresholdSeconds)).

Impact Displays whether the data in the view has a positive or negative impact. When the arrow points upwards, it indicates a positive impact and when downwards, it indicates a negative impact.
Exceptions Duration  The agent’s total exception time for the selected time period.
Scheduled The length of time that the agent was scheduled for any activity category. If Working Outside Shift Considered Exception is enabled, then this column includes the length of time that the agent was on queue, but not scheduled.
Actual Time The actual length of time for which Genesys Cloud contains valid data.
Net impact column

Indicates whether the total impact for the selected date range is positive, negative, or neutral. For example, 10-minutes positive impact and 12-minutes negative impact equals 2-minutes negative net impact for the selected period.

Scheduled column

The length of time the agent was scheduled for any activity category.

Scheduled (Adherence) column

The length of time that the agent was scheduled for any activity category. If Working Outside Shift Considered Exception is enabled, then this column includes the length of time that the agent was on queue, but not scheduled.

Actual Time column

Historical adherence metric definitions include:

Metric Definition
Agent The name of the agent.
Management Unit The name of the management unit to which the agent is assigned.
Adherence %

The agent’s percentage of adherence. The system calculates this figure as follows:  percent; (1 – (total exception time / (total scheduled time in interval))) * 100; range: 0-100%.

Note: If actual on-queue presence detected outside the agent’s scheduled time counts against adherence, then the length of that time also counts in both the numerator, because it is considered an exception, and denominator. For more information, see Configure historical adherence exceptions in Historical adherence overview.

Conformance %

The agent’s percentage of conformance. The system calculates this figure as follows: (total in conformance time / total time for scheduled activities for conformance in interval) * 100; min: 0%.

Exceptions The agent’s total number of exceptions for the selected time period.
Exception Duration (Adherence) The total time of exceptions for the period minus the exception count, multiplied by configured minimum exception threshold (i.e., exceptionDuration – (exceptionCount * exceptionThresholdSeconds)).
Net impact

Indicates whether the total impact for the selected date range is positive, negative, neutral, or unknown. For example, 10-minutes positive impact and 12-minutes negative impact equals 2-minutes negative net impact for the selected period.
