Overview of Incoming Conversations

This section displays the metrics for all conversations (phone, chat, and email):

  • Total Conversations – Total conversation count for the selected time range.
  • In Queue – Count conversations in a queue.
  • Ongoing – Count of ongoing conversations.
  • Idle – Count of Idle conversations.
  • Expired – Count of expired conversations.
  • Closed – Count of closed conversations.

COMPARE: The COMPARE toggle compares all historical metrics over a previous equal-sized time range. For example, if the Average Handle Time is 12m 2s for the last 30 days the previous Average Handle Time was 6m 1s. If you click Compare, an increase of 50% over the last 30 days will be displayed.

Transfer Rate – Percentage of transferred conversations.

Abandon Rate – Percentage of abandoned conversations.

Clicking the percentage value on the Abandon Rate widget shows the following information:

  • “Abandoned while in Queue” – Count of conversations (NNNN) that were abandoned while waiting in the queue.
  • “Abandoned while with Agent” – Count of conversations (NNNN) that where abandoned while being attended by an Agent.

    Abandon Rate

The formula for measuring the Abandon Count:

  • For Digital Channels: Abandon Count = User Abandons While Waiting in Queue + Conversations With Agent that went through the Idle-Expired Sequence.
  • For Voice Channels: Abandon Count = User Abandons While Waiting in Queue + Conversations With Agent where User Disconnects While Agent has put the call on hold.

Overdue – This live metric shows the number of conversations currently in the overdue state. It displays the number based on all the conversations currently associated with the selected queues and agents.

System Terminations: Count of conversations that were terminated by the System. This metric is shown based on selected queues only. Clicking on the number displays the details of the system terminations.

System Terminations

Average Speed to Answer – The average time it takes an agent to respond to a conversation assigned to them.

Average Handling Time – The average handling time of the conversations.

Queue Load – Displays the current load on the system as a percentage of its capacity. This is a live metric.

Resolved Rate – Percentage of resolved conversations.

Queue Performance

Queue Performance Metrics
Incoming NA Incoming = InQueue + Active + Idle + Expired + Completed + Transferred Out (The Q&A dashboard shows all transferred, even those back to the same queue). Completed = AbandonedInQueue + SystemTerminated + All-Conversations-With-Resolutions. **Note**: This formula is applicable when a call does not return to the same queue multiple times. If it does, it will be counted multiple times and does not add up correctly. **Question**. Does the Incoming count include Inbound and Outbound calls?
**Answer**: Yes, if the conversations (calls/chats) entered that queue. **Question**. Is the Incoming call count taken from the queue?
**Answer**: Yes. However, for “No-Filters”, the incoming call count includes conversations directly transferred from the Bot to the Agent, without entering a queue.
Answered NA Number of conversations answered by the agent in the queue.
Abandoned NA Number of conversations where the user dropped off while conversing with the agent in the queue.
Transferred NA Number of conversations that got transferred from the queue.
Voicemails NA Number of voicemails in the queue.
Terminated NA Conversations (call/chat) terminated by the system. This can happen when no agents are available, outside of working hours, voice gateway failures, network errors, or other errors.
Closed NA Conversations (calls/chats) that an agent has properly closed. The agent ends the conversation, performs any After-call work, assigns dispositions, writes any notes, and clicks “Close”.
ASA NA Average Speed to Answer by the agent in the queue.
AHT NA Average Handle Time of conversation by the agent in the queue.
CSAT NA Average CSAT score in the queue.
