The Queues Activity Detail view allows you to see real-time information about a specific queue. See a queue’s current interactions, agents, and service levels in one view. Check the number of interactions that are waiting or interacting and the status of agents in that queue. Manually assign waiting interactions in a queue to an available agent. Activate or deactivate agents based on need.
Available columns
To view the available columns, see the Queues Activity Detail view section in the View available columns in performance views by category article.
To view the consolidated list of available columns in the performance views, see Consolidated view of available columns in performance views.
To view the list of available columns in the performance views by category, see View available columns in performance views by category.
To open a queue’s activity detail view, complete the following steps:
- Click Performance > Workspace > Contact Center > Queue Activity.
- From the Queues Activity Summary view, click a queue’s name.
The information in the Queues Activity Detail view updates in real time. The Interaction panel information on the left side and the agent status counts on the upper right always update in real time. The data in the agent table in the lower left, except status and interaction data, do not update live until you apply a status filter.
The agent Activate and Deactivate settings prevent the auto-page refresh. When you activate or deactivate an agent, to update the Agent list, click Refresh at the top of the page.
- Calls that are part of the callback appear as a separate interaction from the callback. These interactions appear as two separate interactions.
- The Queues Activity Detail view is based on real-time statistics. The active callback interactions are available for 14 days.
- A consult with two agents appears as two separate interactions.
- The Waiting list and Interacting lists show a maximum of 100 interactions per media type across both lists. If a media type has more than 100 interactions, then the lists display only 50 interactions for that media type.
- The Updated time stamp, at the bottom of the agent panel, indicates the last time the list of agents was updated before you apply a filter or click Refresh .
Manage access to Queue Activity detail view based on division permissions
You can manage access to the Queue Activity detail view based on the division permissions of the user. You can restrict the managers and team leads from viewing the agent detail or performance information in the Queue Activity detail view. For example, if you have permission for division 1 and division 2 alone, then you can view the detail or performance information of the agent belonging only to division 1 and division 2 alone. You cannot view the agent detail or performance information of other divisions. The details of the agents belonging to other divisions are blurred out.
If obfuscation is on, you must have the Directory > User > View permission for the division to access any user in that division.
To enable the division permission, use Developer Tools or your application of choice to make the following API call:
PATCH /api/v2/analytics/reporting/settings
{ “queueAgentAccessObfuscation”: true }
Click the image to enlarge.
On exporting the Queue Activity detail report, the blurred-out agent name displays as REDACTED.

The following information is available in the Queues Activity Detail view.
These terms relate to interactions in the queue and are on the left side of the view.
Term | Description |
---|---|
Waiting | Interactions that are in the queue and waiting for an agent to answer them. |
Interacting |
Interactions that an agent has answered and is working on. |
Alerting | The total number of alerting conversations. |
Priority |
The priority assigned to the conversation when it was routed to the queue. |
Duration |
The amount of time since an interaction entered the queue or an agent answered the interaction. In the Waiting list, Genesys Cloud bases duration on the amount of time an interaction has been waiting in the queue. In the Interacting list, Genesys Cloud bases the duration on the amount of time since an agent answered the interaction. |
Skills | The skills specified for the interaction. |
Routing |
Displays the routing methods that were requested for the interaction. Note: Depending on the routing method selected for each queue, administrators set up timeout options where, after a set period, Genesys Cloud transitions from one routing method to another. For example, the queue starts out by using Preferred Agent Routing, and after some time, transitions to Bullseye Routing, and after another amount of time, transitions to standard routing. Depending on the setup and how long it takes for an interaction to be answered, different combinations are listed. |
Agent | The agent who is working on the interaction. |
Service Level | Service level target is a contact center performance statistic expressed as “X percent of conversations answered in Y seconds.” For example, a goal of answering 80% of voice calls within 20 seconds provides a service level target of 80/20. You can set the service level target for each media type in a queue. Analytics uses this service level target to calculate whether you are within the service level % defined by your service level agreement (SLA). For more information about setting the service level target, see Create queues or Edit or delete queues. Note: In the performance views that are not queue-specific, the Service Level % is calculated by queue and displayed as a – on the aggregated group row since SLA targets vary by queue. The affected views are DNIS Performance Summary and Skills Performance views. To view individual queue service level %, click the + to expand the row.
The service level % is the percentage of interactions that meet your contact center's service level target. The formula to calculate the service level % is: Number of Conversations Answered within SLA The numerator is calculated by taking the total answered conversations and subtracting the conversations that were not answered within the SLA threshold. Calculated by: (Answered Count – SLA Violation Count) Total Number of Conversations The Service Level Options configuration determines the denominator. With all the options below unchecked, the denominator is the count of answered conversations.
As the service level calculation depends on an organization’s configured options, the final formula to calculate the service level is: Note: With the Flowouts and Abandons enabled, the Flowouts and the Abandons are added into the denominator when calculating the service level. With the Short Abandons disabled, the Short Abandons are subtracted from the Abandons when calculating the service level. |
Abandon % | The percentage of offered interactions in which the customer disconnected before connecting with an agent. The abandon rate can identify queues that require extra staff to handle interactions in a timely manner. Calculated by: (Abandoned Count / Offered Count) * 100 |
ASA | The average amount of time an interaction waits in queue before an agent answers it. This metric does not include interactions that agents do not answer. ASA is directly associated with the service level and provides insight into the customer service your company provides. ASA is recorded in the interval in which the agent answered the interaction. Calculated by: Total Answered (tAnswered Sum) / Answered Count (tAnswered Count) Note: Raw values are provided in milliseconds. |
These terms relate to agents in the queue and are on the right side of the view.
Term | Description |
---|---|
On Queue | The On Queue metric represents the number of agents that are on queue for a specific queue. |
Off Queue | Off Queue represents the number of agents that are off queue for a specific queue. These agents are in another status, such as Available, Busy, or Meeting. Agents in the Out of Office and Offline statuses are not included in this number. |
Presence indicators | Indicates the number of agents off queue and in a particular status: green (Available), yellow (Away, Break, Meal, or Training), or red (Busy or Meeting). |
Interacting | The number of agents working with interactions. This number includes agents completing after call work. |
Communicating | The agent is on a non-ACD call, and, in relation to agent utilization and call routing, Genesys Cloud treats the non-ACD call like an ACD call. For example, administrators could configure agent utilization so Genesys Cloud does not route new interactions to agents while they are on an ACD or non-ACD call. This status only appears if administrators have selected “Count non-ACD calls in utilization capacity” within the agent utilization configuration. |
Idle | The amount of time an agent spends in the Idle routing status. This routing status represents agents who are On Queue and able to take interactions but are not currently working with interactions. |
Not Responding | An agent was On Queue or Interacting and did not answer an offered interaction. The agent could still be handling and completing other previous interactions. While Not Responding, the agent does not receive new interactions. |
These icons indicate specific media types throughout the view.

To rearrange the Duration columns in the agents list:
- Click the Sort icon to the right of the Duration columns in the table header.
- Select either Shortest to longest or Longest to shortest. Here’s an example.
This setting also applies to the interactions listed below an agent when you view more information about an agent’s activity.
To see more information about an agent’s current activity, click More details next to that agent’s name. When expanded, the row shows the current activity for each of the agent’s interactions, such as Interacting, ACW, or Hold. It also shows how long the interaction has been in that state.
Managers can activate and deactivate agents in queues.
- To activate an agent for a queue, the agent must be a member of that queue.
- To view more information about an agent or activate them for a queue, the agent must be in a division granted to you in the Directory > User > View permission. For more information about divisions and access control, see About access control.
After you activate an agent for a queue, when the agent’s status is On Queue, the agent receives interactions from that queue. Agents can also choose the queues to work themselves.
Activate and deactivate agents to and from queues
- Click Performance > Workspace > Queues Activity.
- Select the appropriate queue.
- From either the active agents or inactive agents list, click the more menu beside an agent’s name.
- Click either Activate or Deactivate to activate or deactivate the agent for the queue.
To change an agent's status, complete the following steps:
- Go to Performance > Queues Activity.
- Select a queue in which the agent is a member.
- From the queue's activity detail view, hover over the presence dot beside an agent's name.
- To set the agent's status to Off Queue or On Queue, select On Queue or Off Queue. If you change the status from On Queue to Off Queue, then the agent's status automatically also changes to Available.
- To set the agent's user status, select a status from the status drop-down. If the agent's status is On Queue, selecting a user status also sets them to Off Queue.
Note: The status drop-down does not have an option to change an agent’s status to Out of Office. If an agent’s presence status is Out of Office, it cannot be changed. - If the status you select has secondary statuses, select a secondary status in the drop-down below the primary status.
From the Queues Activity Detail view, hover over the presence dot beside an agent’s name.
To log out an agent, click Log off. If the agent is On Queue, set the agent's status to Off Queue, and then click Log off.
From the Queues Activity Detail view, hover over the presence dot beside an agent’s name.
To disassociate an agent from the station, click Disassociate Station.
In both the Queue Activity Summary and Detail views, user statuses and routing statuses sometimes add up to more than the total number of agents in the queue. This situation arises when agents change their user status while working with interactions.
For example, agents Bob and Alex are each working with an interaction. Bob changes his status to Break, and Alex changes his status to Meeting, but they both still have a chat interaction. In this situation, the view displays “2” in the Off Queue section, but it also displays “2” in the Interacting section.
