    New Feature: Agent Timeline View is Now Live!

    We're excited to announce that the Agent Timeline View is now available in Genesys Cloud! 

     

    This new view gives supervisors powerful visibility into an agent's day, providing a detailed visual timeline of status changes and interactions-including voice, chat, email, message, and callback sessions. You can easily see how work overlaps, identify periods of inactivity, and spot opportunities for coaching and performance improvement.

     

    Key Capabilities:

    • Visual timeline of primary, secondary, and routing status
    • Timeline display of interactions across all supported media types
    • Zoom in/out and scroll horizontally to explore finer time intervals
    • Select metrics for the summary row (up to 12) for quick insights
    • Filter by media type, interaction rows, and custom date ranges (up to 7 days)

     

    How to Access:

    Navigate to Performance > Workspace > Contact Center > Agent Performance, select an agent, and click the Timeline tab.

     

    Check the full documentation here (final link will be updated post-GA).

     

    Agent timeline view

     

     

    This feature will be rolled out globally according to our normal roll out schedule starting March 31, 2025.

    Let us know what you think or if you have any questions!

     

    Thanks!

    Hi Greg,

    This looks fantastic! The Agent Timeline View seems incredibly useful for supervisors to get a clear, visual overview of an agent's day. Being able to see status changes and interactions laid out like this will definitely help in identifying coaching opportunities. Great addition!

    Hi Greg. This is great and will be really helpful to see real time activities for supervisors. I checked permissions and refreshed my instance of Genesys and do not see this active currently for our region (US West). Do you know if there's a delay in release?

    This is a great view of the agent's performance, Will there be any ability to add adherence and conformance to this view for a complete view of agent's behaviors?

    Hi there

    A few bits of feedback:

    • Resource centre says to use trackpad to scroll horizontally (I had to look this up and even then, struggled) but that assumes everyone is a laptop user. Not intuitive to use trackpad for this function when I have an external mouse for everything. Interaction timeline uses click and drag.
    • Rate of zoom is slow compared to interaction timelines
    • As this is the agent's timeline, the interactions should only show the segments that the agent actively handled, not time in queue. Particularly messy/busy looking for emails that may be in queue several days.
    • Potential enhancement to show talk/hold/ACW, following interaction timeline styling. 
    • Bold font on statuses is too crowded.
    • Interaction List or pop-up hover on segment should show queue name.

    I want to like this more than I do right now - it has great potential to be a helpful tool but doesn't look like it's there yet
    Thanks

    Hi Greg,

    Fantastic addition to our reporting, very powerful indeed! 

    I endorse Joanna's observation:  "As this is the agent's timeline, the interactions should only show the segments that the agent actively handled, not time in queue. Particularly messy/busy looking for emails that may be in queue several days."

    Many thanks.

    I wanted to add into addition of Joanna's statement:

    • "Resource centre says to use trackpad to scroll horizontally (I had to look this up and even then, struggled) but that assumes everyone is a laptop user. Not intuitive to use trackpad for this function when I have an external mouse for everything. Interaction timeline uses click and drag."

    Our call center uses multiple screens and a docking station, therefore a wireless or corded mouse is required. If this feature could be adjusted to operate like the interaction timeline it would be very beneficial for all types of users.

    Hi, Greg! Thank you for this new release - it's great to see the ideas becoming features. In general in our company we don't have a clear use for this yet, need to assess which processes can benefit from having this view incorporated in the routines and analysis tasks. 

    In our company we see the following main potentials for improvement:
    1. ability to save applied filters;

    2. ability to zoom and scroll with a mouse, like in interactions view for a seamless experience (many of our users would log in to stations instead of having personal laptops);

    3. ability to see the direction of the interactions;

    4. ability to see the queue name in the interaction info;

    5. (this one is most important) ability to exclude queue time from the view - it doesn't make any sense in agent view and sometimes appears as if agent was handling 10 interactions at a time.

    6. one more point - if interaction start timestamp is on March 5th, but it was handled by an agent on March 6th AND the date filter is applied as March 6th, I don't see these interactions handled by an agent. This is a major issue I see now, as it's not showing complete picture. In my opinion it's a bug, and it would be great to have it fixed soon, because there is no separate permission for this feature, so no way to limit our users from accessing this incomplete information.

    This is my initial feedback, I will share more if our users provide it.

    Thanks a lot! Looking forward to more development coming =)

    as a good to have wish:
    ability to see only recorded interaction, so that supervisor could pick interaction for quality evaluations during a certain status. For example, as an after-sales team leader I want to be able to evaluate calls which were done during busy status "Working on customer cases". Or as a sales team leader I want to able to evaluate calls which were made during busy status "Sales Lead Management". 
    This is a great potential to expand the context of our quality management framework and help to find interactions done during specific busy statuses.

    Really nice feature. I can see that several others in the thread has added some improvements as well. 

    I created a new Idea: "Enhancements to Agent Performance Timeline". 

    It would be nice to have following improvements: 

    1. Add agent schedule as a timeline row (if permission allows). This would make it easier to compare adherence visually without having to jump to another screen.

    2. Enable zooming into specific hours. Right now it's a bit hard to read when there's lots of interaction data. Zooming into key time periods would help with detailed analysis.

    3. Remember selected metrics. Right now, I need to reselect them every time. Either make them sticky per user or set a good default for everyone.

    Good morning,

    The agent timeline detail view has been beneficial. However, there are some questions, concerns, and suggestions to enhance this feature further. Firstly, could you please add a scroll bar at the bottom of the page to allow us to enlarge the view without losing the time we are viewing? Secondly, could you please add a monthly filter view so we can use it as a coaching tool? Thirdly, please add Adherence and Conformance to this view. This would provide a comprehensive view of agents' performance and behavior, eliminating the need to view other tabs for this information. Since this data is already available, you would only need to add it to the filter selection options.

    Thank you for your feedback, Robert.  We are currently gathering ideas for a future enhancement to the Agent Timeline View.  Your input is very valuable to us.  We are investigating the possibility of showing adherence information on the timeline.  Also, regarding scrolling, we know this is not the most intuitive.  We are working to improve that.  Hopefully the following will help.

    To scroll horizontally in the Agent Timeline View:

    • On Windows, you'll need to use a touchpad (mousepad) with a two-finger swipe gesture.
      • Horizontal scrolling with a mouse wheel is not supported in this initial release, but we're actively looking into adding that functionality in the future.
    • On Mac, you can scroll horizontally using the trackpad's two-finger swipe gesture as expected.

    Thanks!

    Greg

    Hi Greg

    Whilst the agent timeline does provide a lot of useful information I have had some feedback from end users on 2 key points relating to this to make it even better:

    -The lack of horizontal scrolling apart from using a touchpad/trackpad is problematic, particularly for users who don't use a laptop. In order to see the right level of detail you need to zoom in which then means you're not able to see the full day and if you don't have a touchpad you're unable to do anything

    -Breakdown of the phone state "Interacting" into Talk/Hold/Wrap. As a supervisor being able to see who is sitting in a state of wrap (and can therefore potentially pick up another customer call) is crucial, by grouping these into a single state it's not possible to do this and makes management of the contact centre more difficult.

    I've raised ideas for both of these:
