The Contact Centers Dashboard displays a table view of your chosen filters, for the desired Contact Center. Filter by time, Contact Center, and action column.

Agent Status, Live Calls, & Service Level

Gain deeper insight into your Contact Center's busiest times by reviewing the Agent Status widget, along with the Live Calls and Service Level metrics. 

CC_Dash_agent_summary_view.png

  • Agent Status provides a live view of the total number of Agents assigned to the Contact Center and their statuses. 
  • Live Calls displays the number of calls in progress and queued.
  • Service Level, shows you the percentage of calls answered during the Contact Center's open hours, within the time threshold set for that Call Center (default is 60 seconds).
    • Short Abandoned Calls are excluded, and the answer time is calculated as the difference between the moment the call arrives ('date_started') and when it connects to an Agent ('date_connected')

Hold Queue Metrics

Hold Queue Metrics provide insight into your staffing needs. Hold Queue metrics include Speed to Answer, Abandon Rate and Agents:Caller ratios. 

CC_Dash_hold_queue.png

  • Speed to Answer displays the shortest, longest and average amount of time it takes your Agents to answer a call 
  • Abandon Rate displays the percentage of calls that are Abandoned by the caller before reaching your Agents. It is further broken down into the shortest, longest and average amount of time that the caller waited before hanging up.
  • Agent:Callers displays the average ratio of Agents to Callers, as well as the number of callers currently in your queue 
    • This helps identify the current handling capacity (or lack thereof!) for your Contact Center.
    • Agents included are those available to take calls, on a call, or in wrap up time for the given call center specifically.
    • Callers included are those currently on a call, or in the hold queue for the given call center.

Agent Leaderboard

Use the Agent leaderboard to review you Agent's performance and easily see who is on a call or not. 

CC_Dash_Agent_Leaderboard.png

The Agent leaderboard displays the:

  • Agent name
  • Agent status
  • # of inbound calls
  • # of total minutes
  • Average call duration
  • # of total texts
  • # of missed calls
  • # of outbound calls
  • Total wrap-up time
  • Total idle time

Select an Agent and you'll be taken to the Call History menu for their subset of calls.

FAQs

Why does the total row of the "Agents Available" column on the All Call Centers dashboard not add up to the sum of the numbers in the rows for all the call centers above it?

The total row for "Agents Available" calculates the number of distinct agents, as it's possible that an agent can be available in more than 1 call center at the same time which the rows for each call center would show

Which agents are included in the agent leaderboard and agent status widgets? 
Users who have been added to call center being viewed, and who also have an active account state are included. This means that cancelled, suspended, pending invite, and deleted users will not be shown.

The "Call Dashboard" updates once per minute. However, the "Live Calls" and "Agent Status" details update every 15 seconds.
