Hi Julian,
From my understanding, if the caller abandons before the interaction starts alerting an agent, that is a normal abandon. But if the caller disconnects while the interaction is already alerting an agent, it can still contribute to Alert - No Answer style reporting, which can make that total look higher than just "true missed calls by the agent."
For the second part, I would suggest checking the Agent Performance view and saving a custom view with the columns you need, so you do not have to rebuild it each time.
I would also be interested to know whether anyone has found a cleaner built-in way to separate these in one report.
