Reports

As a manager or supervisor, you have access to many different types of reports measuring different metrics and capturing data for you to review. There are several reports in which you may find valuable in measuring the success of your call center.

 

To access the Reports section, hover over “Reports” on the left side navigation pane. There are two options for types of reports offered: Live and Historic.

 

The following are a list of Live and Historic Reports that you may find useful:

Live Reports: 

  • Agent Break Details - displays an agent's break pattern, such as if they are taking too many breaks or exceeding the approved break duration. 
  • Agent Overview – displays an agent’s performance statistics, disposition summary, and agent login information.
  • Call Details - offers a comprehensive view of each call's metrics, including duration, campaign name, dynamic DID number, and more. It is intended for supervisors to track agent performance in the contact center. Generating the report allows supervisors to get a clearer picture of agent performance on calls and find ways to improve.
  • Conference Details - provides comprehensive analytics on conference calls that occurred on your account for the current day. It includes key information such as participant’s name, duration, start and end time, and the audio recording.
  • Digital Channel Details - offers a complete overview of all chats and the associated metrics. It allows for online analysis of agent performance in the contact center based on various chat metrics.
  • Skill Report - provides insight into the assignment of agents to specific skills within a contact center. This information allows administrators to evaluate the distribution of calls among skills and assess the adequacy of staffing. It also helps identify potential adjustments to agent assignments, as well as skill-specific staffing needs.

 

Historic Reports:

  • Daily Call Summary - measures the performance of the contact center in terms of incoming call volume and successful call connections. This report provides a breakdown of the total number of calls that have landed in the contact center by campaign and skill set.

  • Call Details - offers a comprehensive view of each call's metrics, including duration, campaign name, dynamic DID number, and more.
  • Campaign Productivity - measures the performance of the contact center's campaigns by providing a breakdown of the number of calls received for each individual campaign. This report can be useful for tracking the success of individual marketing campaigns and for making data-driven decisions about the allocation of resources to specific campaigns.
  • Hourly Call Details - measures the volume of inbound calls received by the contact center over a specific time, divided by hour. The report provides a summary of call volume and helps to analyze the load on the contact center, allowing administrators and supervisors to determine if there are enough agents available to handle the volume during different hours of the day.
  • Conference Details - provides comprehensive analytics on conference calls within your account. It includes key information such as: participant’s name, duration, start and end time, and play audio.
  • Agent Break Details - provides an administrator with details about the amount of time agents spend on breaks, including instances where breaks exceed the allotted time.
  • Agent Call Summary - provides an overview of how individual agents are performing based on the type of calls they handle in the contact center and provides an assessment of the agent's proficiency, efficiency, and effectiveness in handling customer inquiries.
  • Agent Productivity - evaluates the overall performance of an individual agent within a contact center.
  • Agent Login Details - provides a complete record of an agent's activity during their logged-in time. It acts as an audit trail and tracks all actions performed by the agent during their shift.
