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.
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
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
Note: Any interactions that leave a queue without an agent handling or transferring the interaction, including callbacks, count as flow-outs. Callbacks do not count as answered within service level, even if the callback was offered before the Service Level Target was reached.
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.
