Column Description
Abandoned interactions The cumulative number of abandoned interactions within an interval.
Answered interactions The cumulative number of answered ACD interactions within an interval.
Handled interactions The cumulative number of system interactions handled within an interval. Voice interactions differ from answered interactions because they include outbound calls made on behalf of a queue and dialer calls.

Service level The service level within an interval.
Maximum after call work time The maximum after call work of interaction answered within the queue. For example, suppose that a user sets a maximum handle time of >30 seconds. The user is alerted the first time during an interval when any interaction in the queue has a handle time of greater than 30 seconds.
Maximum handle time The maximum handle time (talk time + hold time + after call work) of interactions answered within the queue during an interval.
Maximum held time

The maximum length of time interactions were placed on hold within a queue during an interval.
Maximum talk time The maximum talk time of an interaction in the queue during an interval.

The maximum time to answer an interaction in the queue during an interval.
Maximum wait time The maximum wait time of an interaction in the queue during an interval.
Minimum after call work time The minimum amount of time agents spent on after call work for all interactions in this queue as specified in the alert threshold metrics. This variable is calculated as the total amount of after call work time divided by the number of interactions.
Minimum handle time The minimum amount of time spent on interactions in this queue as specified in the alert threshold metrics. This variable is calculated as the total amount of handle time divided by the number of interactions.
Minimum held time The minimum amount of time interactions spent in Held state in this queue as specified in the alert threshold metrics. This variable is calculated as the total amount of time interactions remained in Hold state divided by the number of held interactions.
