Calls Performance Report

Understanding the Calls Performance Report

The Calls Performance Report is a comprehensive analysis tool that provides valuable insights into the performance and efficiency of inboxes within an organization. This report offers detailed metrics and statistics, allowing supervisors to monitor and evaluate various aspects of Inbox management.

This report is generated as a .csv file which can be accessed and downloaded from the Calls Performance tab in the Communication Hub.

In the Communication Hub UI, only specific fields are displayed with shortened field names. However, the report itself provides more comprehensive and thorough details regarding user performance.

Supervisor can download the report by following these steps:

  • Go to Communication Hub
  • Select Calls tab
  • Select Performance
  • Select Date Range
  • Set desired Inbox
  • Click Export

 

Report Export Options:

  • If Date Range = Today  / Yesterday, it will support two options: Cumulative and Hourly.
  • If Date Range = This week / This month, it will support two options: Cumulative and Daily.

Notes

Basic equations:

  • Wait Duration = Inbox Duration + Connect Duration
  • Calls Reached Inbox = Calls Entered Inbox + Inbox Overflow Calls
  • Calls Entered Inbox = Answered Calls + Short Abandoned Calls + Long Abandoned Calls + Unreachable Calls + Voicemail in Inbox + Callback in Inbox + Inbox Timeout Calls
  • Calls must first reach and enter the inbox before they can be assigned to a user for handling.
  • Calls can be abandoned (long or short) regardless of being assigned or not. 
  • If the Inbox SLA Threshold is left unset, the value of the field SLA Threshold (second) in the report will be displayed as “N/A”.
