explanation of the metrics: Handle, answer, outbound, contacting and talk

  • 1.  explanation of the metrics: Handle, answer, outbound, contacting and talk

    Posted 2 days ago

    Hello,

    I will first say that i went through the Performance metrics in this article:
    View available columns in performance views by category - Genesys Cloud Resource Center (mypurecloud.com)

    I integrated the Genesys Cloud CX in several Organizations, and one of the hardest questions for me to answer my customers, is

    why the metrics in agent performance report doesn't add up, I'll explain.

    If I'm looking at the report from a Supervisor perspective, I want to know the following metrics:

    1. how many Interactions the Agent Answered from the Queue,
    2. how many Interactions Agent answered from Non-Queue entity
    3. how many Interactions Agent placed outbound on behalf of a queue
    4. how many interactions Agent placed not on behalf of a queue
    5. how many of the interactions that Agent placed did connect to other party

    aside from those, Supervisor will want to know about other metrics, but I'm I'll focus what I listed here.

    So, maybe it's not possible to extract "all" the metrics asked by the Supervisor, but, at least, I would like to know how many Interactions the Agent did, totally

    and how many of them was inbound and how many outbound, that is the minimum!. 

    and even to this, I can't get a coherent answer from the report, whenever I add "Answer" to "Outbound" it always will be less than "Handle"

    I tried other combinations, but nothing can really answer the question: 

    how many Interactions the Agent did, totaly

    and how many of them was inbound and how many outbound

    I know that probably what causes this, is the Internal Interactions that agents dial to each other or transfer to each other, or maybe lack of understanding of Genesys

    metrics from my side, anyway, any, some coherent explanation will be welcome.

    Thanks in advanced

    Hi Shahar,

    Please make sure these four metrics are included in the Performance View:

    Answer:
    A measurement of the number of assigned ACD interactions answered by an agent in a given period. Answered increments when the agent is the first to connect to the interaction.
     
    Handle:
    The total number of ACD and non-ACD interactions that agents were involved in for the selected media type. Handle increments in the interval in which the interaction ends, after the agent completes any after call work and completes the interaction. 
     
    Outbound:
    This metric represents the number of outbound interactions placed on behalf of queue.
     
    Talk:
    The number of sessions where the user(s) interacted during conversations. A session includes the point where the agent joins the conversation to the point where they disconnect. 

    Now, to get a better insight and answers to all of your 5 questions use the following Filters in Agent Performance View

    Initial Direction,

    Direction,

    and ACD (Yes/No)
