The portal can generate custom reports about call queues. These reports will give a graphical overview of statistics for your call center over a given period of time. These reports can be about the call center, the call queues, or the individual agents.
To look at the call center reports, click the Reports button on the call center home screen.
The Reports button will open a dialog where you can choose the type of report, the date and time ranges, and the ability to customize the table columns shown. You can also have the report emailed on a chosen schedule, printed, and/or download the statistics or an agent log.
The bottom part of the dialog contains the graph and the table, which is customizable as to which columns are shown through the Table Settings button.
There are five types of reports to choose from and each will be discussed in the sections below. The 5 types are:
Note that if you see a number or statistic that is hyperlinked, you can click the statistic number to view all the information used to calculate the statistic selected. Statistics for queue, agent, agent availability, and DNIS can be viewed.
Once a hyperlinked statistic is clicked, you can choose to print or download the report summary or view additional information within the options found on the right side of the page.
Clicking on the Email Reports button will open a tool to send a particular type of report on a configured schedule. Select one or more. The types of reports are Summary (which is a summary of the following reports in this list), Call Queue, Agent, and Dialed Number.
To print the report that is currently on screen click on the Print button. Utilize the "print to PDF" feature available in most print dialogs to save the report as a file instead of printing it to paper.
You may select to download the Statistic data or an Agent Log by clicking on your choice in the dropdown menu that appears after clicking on the Download button. Clicking the download button will download a Comma Separated Value (.CSV) file with the corresponding data of your choice.
The Queue Stats (Statistics) Report provides call center supervisors with a view of the data for specific attributes on a queue-by-queue basis, such as call volume, calls handled, abandoned calls, average wait time, and much more.
The graph shown can be changed through the dropdown menu by clicking on the arrow beside the name of the statistic that is currently shown on the graph. The options for Queue Stats are:
Each queue has various parameters that you can view in the table below the graph. The table shows a row for each queue in the call center and the stats are in the columns. The shown columns can be customized through the Table Settings button.
