Available information
Your customizations determine which columns the view shows.
Interactions
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the queue. |
| Interactions | The number of interactions assigned to the queue that agents are currently interacting with. |
| Longest Interacting | The amount of time that the longest interacting interaction has been interacting for each media type. |
| Longest Waiting | The amount of time that the longest waiting interaction has been waiting in queue for each media type. |
| Waiting | The number of interactions that waited in the queue. |
| Alerting | The total number of alerting conversations. |
|
ACW |
The number of times after-call work (ACW) was completed. After-call work is the work that an agent performs immediately following an interaction. Work may involve keying activity codes, updating customer databases, filling out forms, or initiating outbound contact. As a metric, it indicates the total time an agent takes to finish working on a call. If an agent must complete work before the agent can handle the next contact, then ACW is factored into the average handle time. |
|
Avg Hold |
The average number of seconds that interactions were placed on hold. Calculated by: Total Hold Time / Count of interactions with holds |
|
Max Handle |
The maximum amount of time agents were involved in ACD and non-ACD interactions, including answered interactions, transfers, callbacks, and outbound calls. |
|
Max Contacting |
The maximum amount of time outbound interactions take to connect to the agent’s phone. Usually, this duration is short. However, if the agent uses a remote phone the duration may be longer. |
|
Max Dialing |
The maximum amount of time an outbound interaction spends dialing a contact. |
|
Min Handle |
The minimum amount of time agents were involved in ACD and non-ACD interactions, including answered interactions, transfers, callbacks, and outbound calls. |
|
Min Contacting |
The minimum amount of time outbound interactions take to connect to the agent’s phone. Usually, this duration is short. However, if the agent uses a remote phone the duration may be longer. |
|
Min Dialing |
The minimum amount of time an outbound interaction spends dialing a contact. |
|
Talk |
The number sessions where user(s) interacted during conversations. A session includes the point where the agent joins the conversation to the point where they disconnect. |
|
Total Wait |
The total amount of time an interaction is in a queue before an agent answers it, it flows out, or the customer abandons it. |
|
Wait |
The number of interactions that waited in the queue. |
|
Avg Flow Out |
The average amount of time an interaction spends in queue before it flows out. Calculated by: Total Flow Out Time / Count of interactions with flow-outs For more information, see Queues Performance Summary view. |
|
Max Flow Out |
The maximum amount of time an interaction spends in queue before it flows out. For more information, see Queues Performance Summary view. |
|
Min Flow Out |
The minimum amount of time an interaction spends in queue before it flows out. For more information, see Queues Performance Summary view. |
Performance
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Service Level % | Service level target is a contact center performance statistic expressed as “X percent of contacts 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 skill group row, the Service Level target displays a -. To view individual queue service level target values for each queue, click the + to expand the row.
The service level percentage is the percentage of interactions that meet your contact center's service level target. Calculated by: (Number of answered interactions - number of answered interactions that miss the service level target) / (Number of answered interactions + number of abandoned interactions)*100 Note: In the skill group row, the Service Level % displays a -. To view individual queue service level % values for each queue, click the + to expand the row.
Include Flowouts in Calculation Admins can also choose to include flow-outs in the calculation. For more information, see Configure the service level calculation. If you include flow-outs, the service level calculation is: (Number of answered interactions - number of answered interactions that miss the service level target) / (Number of answered interactions + number of abandoned interactions+ number of flow-outs)*100 Include Short Abandons in Calculation Admins can also choose to include short abandons in the calculation. For more information, see Configure the service level calculation. If you include short abandons, the service level calculation is: (Number of answered interactions - number of answered interactions that miss the service level target) / (Number of answered interactions + number of abandoned interactions - number of short abandoned interactions) *100. Include Abandons in Calculation The default service level calculation includes abandoned interactions. Admins can also choose to exclude abandons in the calculation. For more information, see Configure the service level calculation. If you exclude abandons, the service level calculation is: (Number of answered interactions - number of answered interactions that miss the service level target) / (Number of answered interactions) *100. |
| Offered | The number of interactions routed into the queue for an agent to answer. Offered interactions are either answered, abandoned, or flow-out interactions. |
| Abandon | The number of times an end user abandoned an interaction in a queue. For example, the customer hangs up before an agent answers, or the system disconnects the interaction. |
| 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 |
| Flow-Out | Flow-outs are interactions that enter and leave a queue without getting answered by an agent and without getting disconnected. Flow-outs are an indication of customer service level and queue productivity. High numbers of flow-outs can indicate staffing issues or ineffective agents when used with high handle times (bullseye matching metrics). Flow-outs can include transfers to voicemail, callbacks, and any system-driven events such as in-queue flows that transfer to another queue or external party after a certain amount of time. Flow-outs can also occur if the caller opts to exit out of the queue and return to the IVR. Offered interactions are either flow-out, answered, or abandoned interactions. |
| Flow-Out % |
The percentage of interactions that enter and leave a queue without getting answered by an agent or disconnected. Flow-outs are an indication of customer service level and queue productivity. Calculated by: (Flow-out 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 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 Time to Answer / Number Answered |
| Avg Handle | The average amount of time agents spent handling interactions. This calculation includes talk time, hold time, and after-call work. For outbound calls it also includes dialing and contacting time. Calculated by: (cumulative talk time + cumulative hold time + cumulative after-call work + cumulative dialing time + cumulative contacting time) / Number of interactions handled In these views, the Avg Talk, Avg Hold, and Avg ACW columns do not equal the Avg Handle column because only some interactions include holds. This view calculates average handle column using cumulative counts rather than averages. |
| Answer | A measurement of the number of assigned ACD interactions answered by an agent in a given period. Answered increments when the agent is the first to connect to the interaction. |
| Answer % | The percentage of offered interactions that an agent answered. Calculated by: (Answered / Offered) * 100 |
| Transferred | A measurement of the number of interactions an agent answered in one queue and then transferred. A transfer counts for the queue in which an agent answers the interaction. This measurement is calculated by the number of interactions blind transferred or consult transferred. |
| Avg Wait | The average amount of time an interaction is in a queue before an agent answers it, it flows out, or the customer abandons it. Calculated by: Total Wait Time / Interactions |
| Avg Talk | The average number of seconds spent interacting on a media type. Calculated by: Total Talk time / Count of interactions with Talk time |
| Avg Hold | The average number of seconds that interactions were placed on hold. Calculated by: Total Hold Time / Count of interactions with holds |
| Avg ACW | The average amount of time agents spent completing after-call work. Calculated by: Total ACW / Interactions with ACW |
| Outbound | This metric represents the number of outbound interactions placed on behalf of queue. |
| Handle | The total number of ACD and non-ACD interactions that agents were involved in for the selected media type. Handle increments in the interval in which the interaction ends, after the agent completes any after call work and completes the interaction. |
| Total Handle | The total amount of time agents spend handling interactions. This calculation includes talk time, hold time, and after-call work. For outbound calls it also includes dialing and contacting time. Calculated by: (cumulative talk time + cumulative hold time + cumulative after-call work + cumulative dialing time + cumulative contacting time) |
| Total Talk | Amount of time spent interacting on a media type. |
| Total Hold | The cumulative hold time for all interactions. |
| Total ACW | The number of times after-call work (ACW) was completed. After-call work is the work that an agent performs immediately following an interaction. Work may involve keying activity codes, updating customer databases, filling out forms, or initiating outbound contact. As a metric, it indicates the total time an agent takes to finish working on a call. If an agent must complete work before the agent can handle the next contact, then ACW is factored into the average handle time. |
| Hold | The number of interactions with holds. |
| Transfer % | The number of transfers compared to the total number of interactions answered. Calculated by: (# of transfers / interactions answered) * 100 |
| Max Abandon | The maximum time of an abandoned interaction for the selected interval. |
| Min Abandon | The minimum time of an abandoned interaction for the selected interval. |
| Max Wait | The maximum amount of time spent waiting in queue for the selected interval. |
| Min Wait | The minimum amount of time spent waiting in queue for the selected interval. |
| Max Talk | The maximum amount of time spent interacting for the selected interval. |
| Min Talk | The minimum amount of time spent interacting for the selected interval. |
| Max Hold | The maximum amount of time spent on hold for the selected interval. |
| Min Hold | The minimum amount of time spent on hold for the selected interval. |
| Max ACW | The maximum amount of time spent on after call work for the selected interval. |
| Min ACW | The minimum amount of time spent on after call work for the selected interval. |
| Over SLA | Number of interactions that were over the defined Service Level. |
| Met SLA | Number of interactions that met the defined service level. |
| Short Abandon | Number of interactions that were short abandoned. |
| Short Abandon % | Percent of interactions that were short abandoned. |
| Abandon - No Short | Number of abandons excluding the short abandons. |
| Abandon - No Short % | Percent of abandons excluding the short abandons. |
| Outbound Attempt | Attempted outbound interactions for Dialer campaigns. |
| Voicemail | Count of voicemails received. |
Agents
| Column | 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. |
| Interacting | The number of agents working with interactions. This number includes agents completing after call work. |
| Presence Breakdown | The number of agents in different presences. For more information, see Presence, status, and activity indicators overview |
| 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 “Include non-ACD conversations” when they configured agent utilization. |
| Idle | The number of agents who are on queue and available to take interactions but who are not 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. |
Interpret counts in the Queues Activity view
In both the 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.
