Agent performance - interactions

The Agent performance - interactions dashboard presents basic data about agents' activity. Information includes metrics about inbound, outbound, and internal interactions and details about customer hold times.

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 yesterday.
• 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, the Agent filter contains all agents. 
• Agent ID—the agents (identified by ID) that want to analyze data for. You can choose different rules to narrow down the agents in the dashboard. By default, the Agent ID filter contains all agents.
• Group—the group (identified by name) you want to analyze data for. You can choose different rules to narrow down the agents (assigned to the selected group or groups) in the dashboard. By default, the Group filter contains all groups and displays data for all agents.
• Media manager—the origin application of the interaction. Choose from VCC (Vonage Contact Center), VBC (Vonage Business Cloud), or Salesforce. By default, the Media manager filter contains all media types.
• Media type—the communication method used in the interaction. Choose from different media types available in your account, such as Phone, Phone Callback, and External Work. By default, the Media type filter contains all media types.

Inbound answer rate tile

The Inbound answer rate tile displays the results of inbound interactions that were offered to the agents from the queue. Results indicate whether the interaction was successfully delivered to the agent or not.

The Inbound answer rate tile contains the following columns:

• Agent—the name of the agent as defined in the VCC admin portal during agent creation.
• Agent ID—the unique identifier for the agent. This is the ID of the agent as defined in the VCC admin portal during agent creation.
• Offered—the number of interactions that were offered to the agent from a queue. When the same interaction is offered to an agent multiple times from a queue, the Offered increases for each occurrence. 
• Accepted—the number of times an interaction was successfully delivered from queue to an agent. A single interaction can be delivered multiple times to the same agent. Accepted increases each time the agent accepts the interaction.
• Accepted %—the percentage of offered interactions that were successfully delivered from a queue to the agent. The value is highlighted when the percentage is lower than 95%.
• Delivery failed—the number of interactions that an agent did not answer (including those when the agent's line was busy) or interactions that failed to connect from a queue to the agent (possibly due to configuration or network errors).
• Delivery failed %—the percentage of offered interactions to the agent that failed to connect from a queue to the agent. The value is highlighted when the percentage is higher than 5%.
• Delivery failed of total—the percentage of all delivery-failed interactions that failed to connect to this agent. The color of the values changes gradually as the percentages increase.

Delivery failures tile

The Delivery failures tile displays details about interactions that failed to connect to the agent. Details include delivery failures for inbound, outbound, and internal interactions.

The Delivery failures tile contains the following columns:

• Agent—the name of the agent as defined in the VCC admin portal during agent creation.
• Agent ID—the unique identifier for the agent. This is the ID of the agent as defined in the VCC admin portal during agent creation.
• Device busy—the number of alerting interactions that failed to be delivered to the agent due to their device being busy (outside VCC) or the agent declining the interaction. When the agent uses WebRTC, the agent's headset may have been busy because the agent was in another meeting. 
• No answer—the number of alerting interactions that the agent failed to answer. The alert either timed out or the agent rejected the interaction. If media type is phone, the telephone was not answered by the agent before it stopped ringing. The number of interactions may include inbound, outbound and internal interactions.
• Device unreachable—the number of alerting interactions that failed to be delivered to the agent due to their device being unreachable.
• Fault—the number of alerting interactions that failed with delivery to the agent due to system/network failure.
• Total—the total number of interactions that failed to be delivered to the agent.

Inbound handle times tile

The Inbound handle times tile displays details about handled inbound interactions broken down by average alerting, connected, and wrap durations.

The Inbound handle times tile contains the following columns:

• Agent—the name of the agent as defined in the VCC admin portal during agent creation.
• Agent ID—the unique identifier for the agent. This is the ID of the agent as defined in the VCC admin portal during agent creation.
• Handled—the number of unique interactions that were handled by the agent. When the same interaction is offered to an agent multiple times from a queue, Handled does not increase for each occurrence. 
• Avg. alerting duration—the average time the system waited for the agent to accept or reject an inbound interaction—for calls this is the time the agent's phone was ringing in hh:mm:ss format. For example, 00:21:37.
• Avg. connected duration—the average duration of time the agent spent being connected to external parties in hh:mm:ss format. For example, 00:21:37.
• Avg. wrap duration—the average duration of time the agent spent in the Wrap state after being disconnected from external parties in hh:mm:ss format. For example, 00:21:37.
• Avg. handle time—the average time the agent spent handling interactions delivered from the queue in hh:mm:ss format. For example, 00:21:37. For inbound interactions, Avg. handle time is the sum of the avg. connected duration and avg. wrap duration. 

Outbound attempts & handle times tile

The Outbound attempts & handle times tile display details about handled outbound interactions broken down by average alerting, connected, and wrap durations. 

The Outbound attempts & handle times tile contains the following columns:

• Agent—the name of the agent as defined in the VCC admin portal during agent creation.
• Agent ID—the unique identifier for the agent. This is the ID of the agent as defined in the VCC admin portal during agent creation.
• Offered—the number of outbound interactions initiated by the agent. The number of interactions initiated by the agent, where the intended destination was an external party. This does not indicate a connection to a second party.
• Connected—the number of outbound interactions initiated and accepted by the agent, and successfully connected to external parties. 
• Avg. alerting duration—the average duration of time the system waited for the agent to accept the interaction initiated by the agent in hh:mm:ss format. For example, 00:21:37.
• Avg. connected duration—the average duration of time the agent spent being connected to external parties in hh:mm:ss format. For example, 00:21:37.
• Avg. wrap duration—the average duration of time the agent spent in the Wrap state after being disconnected from external parties in hh:mm:ss format. For example, 00:21:37.
• Avg. handle time—the average time the agent spent handling the initiated interaction that was successfully connected to an external party, in hh:mm:ss format. For example, 00:21:37. For outbound interactions, Avg. handle time is calculated as the sum of avg. alerting duration, avg. connected duration , and avg. wrap durations for answered interactions. 

Internal initiated & offered and Internal handle times tiles

• Avg. connected duration—the average duration of time the system waited for the agent to accept the initiated interaction in hh:mm:ss format. For example, 00:21:37.
• Avg. wrap duration—the average duration of time the agent spent in the Wrap state after being disconnected from the second agent in hh:mm:ss format. For example, 00:21:37.
