Queue Route Statistics-4423

Overview

The report produces an historical view of a Routes performance in Quarter hour, Hour, Day, Week, Month and Year intervals.

Intended Use

This report is designed to aid in determining staffing requirements for inbound call centers.

Note: don't try to compare numbers across this report and expect them to add up. As an example a call can 'enter' a queue in one interval and be answered in the next interval. As such the number of calls entering the queue will not equal the numbers of calls answered (Talk) in either interval.

"Talk Time", "Wrap Time' and "Handling Time" only count the portion of time that is within the interval, this makes these values usable for calculating staffing requirements. For example if the reporting interval is hour and there are 3 agents, when the "Handling time" shows 3 hours, it is immediately apparent that all 3 agents were either talking or in "wrap" for the entire hour and that more staff are required.

"Wait Time" shows a mixture of times, some within the interval and some accumulated values. Both the Average & Maximum are accumulated values, this is useful because it is indicative of the how long callers are waiting before they get answered. For example if a call started at 3:45pm and waited until 4:15pm, it would appear in the 3pm interval as waiting 15 minutes and then in the 4pm interval as waiting 30 minutes. However the total wait time in each period would show 15 minutes, this then shows that although there was a call that had waited 30 minutes in the 4pm interval the queue recovered because the total wait time in the 4pm interval was only 15 minutes.

While these differing ways of measuring values at a first glance may appear inconsistent, they actually provide valuable insights into a contact centres performance.

Note: This is an historical report, if there are active calls in the selected reporting period the totals will be incorrect. Active calls will be included in some totals and not others depending on their current phase. Information about active calls can be view on the Real time Queue Statistics report.

Interval and Date range interaction

Date ranges MUST start at the beginning of an interval, this becomes an issue when the interval is set to WEEK, MONTH or YEAR. The start date will automatically be adjusted back to the start of an interval if it is not aligned with an interval start.

For example if the interval were MONTH and the start date was 17/07/2011, then the report would be generated with a start date of 01/07/2011. The filters on the generated report will reflect this adjustment.

Fields

 

Field

Description

Queue

The Queue name as defined in the Queue Edit Screen. Click the Queue Name to drill down to the Queue details.

Calls Enter

Number of Calls that entered the queue in the interval.

Calls Wait Number of calls that waited in the queue in the interval. Note that a call can be in wait across multiple intervals and as such will repeated in multiple intervals.
Calls Talk Number of calls that agents spoke to during the interval. Note that an agent can be talking to a customer  across multiple intervals and as such will repeated in multiple intervals.

Calls Wrap

Number of calls that where in wrap during the interval. Note that a call can be in wrap across multiple intervals and as such will repeated in multiple intervals.

Calls %

Number of Calls that entered the queue as a percentage of the total number of calls that entered any queue.

Wait Time

The amount of time that callers waited for their call to be answered. Values expressed are;

  • total - the total amount of time calls waited in this interval
  • average - the average of the accumulated wait time for calls that were in the queue or answered within this interval
  • maximum - the maximum accumulated wait time for calls that were in the queue or answered within this interval
  • percentage -  the total amount of time calls waited in this interval expressed as a percentage of the total wait time in this interval of all queues.

Talk time

The amount of time that callers spent talking to agents within the interval. Values expressed are;

  • total
  • average
  • maximum
  • percentage  - the total talk time within this interval expressed as a percentage of the total talk time of all queues within this interval.

Wrap up time

The amount of time that agents spent in wrap within the interval, this is either a fixed value as set in the queue provisioning or a variable amount of time when using the Noojee Vision extended wrap feature. Values expressed are;

  • total
  • average
  • maximum

Handling time

Handling time is the sum of "Talk time" plus "wrap up time" within the interval.Values expressed are;

  • total
  • average
  • maximum

SLA Threshold

The maximum number of seconds as set in the queue provisioning before a call should be answered

SLA Perf.

SLA Performance, expressed as a percentage of calls that were answered or abandoned before "SLA threshold"

Abandoned After

The total number of calls that entered the queue and the caller hungup with speaking to an agent before "SLA threshold"

Abandoned Total

The total number of calls that entered the queue and the caller hungup with speaking to an agent

Exit Key The number of calls that used a dtmf key to exit the queue to another extension
Exit Time Out The number of calls that exited the queue due to timeout
