Audio problems summary

The Audio problems summary dashboard presents data about audio problems reported by agents. Information includes the total number of problems agents have reported and the number of interactions that encountered problems.

At the top of the dashboard, you can set global filters for this dashboard:

  • Data range — the period of time you want to analyze data for. You can choose different preset ranges or you can specify your own custom data range. By default, Data range is set to last 7 days.
  • Audio problem — the problem reported by an agent for an interaction. You can choose different audio problem types to narrow down the summary. By default, Audio problem filter contain all types of audio problems.   
  • Agent — the agents (identified by name) you want to analyze data for. You can choose different rules to narrow down the agents in the dashboard. By default, Agent filter contains all agents.

Vonage problems

In addition to reporting audio problems in ContactPad, agents can report Vonage problems too. Historical Analytics displays only audio problems and not Vonage problems in the Audio problems summary dashboard. Vonage problems appear in Audit Log as a Report a problem action. For information about Report a problem actions in Audit Log, see Tracked actions.
