Interaction Handling Attempt Report

This page describes how you can use the (Detail folder) Interaction Handling Attempt Report to learn more about interaction handling in the contact center.

Understanding the Interaction Handling Attempt Report

This report summarizes segment-related details with regard to an agent’s handling of contact center interactions that are stored in the Info Mart INTERACTION_RESOURCE_FACT table, providing both the time that was required to distribute the interaction to the agent and data about the agent’s contiguous participation in the interaction.

This report provides data for all interaction types, but excludes extended facts that might be associated with the interaction, such as whether treatments were applied while the customer was waiting to be connected to the agent.

The “customer” in the CUSTOMER measures is the initiator of the interaction, and might not explicitly be a customer who is external to the contact center. For example, the customer of an internal interaction is the initiating agent.

Stop Action	The meaning of this attribute varies for voice and multimedia interactions: For voice, this attribute enables data to be organized by whether the handling resource released the call. 0–Indicates that the handling resource did not release the call. 1–Indicates that the handling resource did release the call. null–Indicates that this information is not available. For multimedia, this attribute enables data to be organized by whether the interaction was released by the last interaction resource fact (IRF) that is associated with the interaction: 0–Indicates that the interaction was stopped at the associated IRF resource by some entity that was not a party to the interaction, such as by Interaction Server or a media server. 1–Indicates that the interaction was stopped by the associated IRF resource. null–Indicates that the interaction was not stopped at the associated IRF resource. Refer to the Genesys Info Mart documentation relevant to your RDBMS (Microsft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Oracle) for information about IRFs and parties.

Metrics used in the Interaction Handling Attempt Report

Metric	Description
Interaction Duration (Fmt)	This metric gathers durations (HH:MM:SS) from the INTERACTION_RESOURCE_FACT (IRF), measuring interaction handling attempts. This duration represents the time, in seconds from the moment at which the interaction reaches the handling resource’s DN (including ring time) to the moment at which the handling resource disconnects or when ACW for the interaction ends.
Response Time (Fmt)	The time that elapsed (HH:MM:SS) before the customer received service or abandoned the interaction, including the time that the interaction spent in a queue (including routing points and non-self-service IVR ports) prior to abandonment or reaching a handling resource (agent or self-service IVR) as well as the alert duration at the resource prior to the interaction being accepted. Additionally, this measure includes the mediation duration of any immediate previous attempt to deliver the interaction that was redirected with a technical result of RoutedOnNoAnswer or Unspecified, as well as the alert duration that is associated with this attempt. Received consultations and collaborations are excluded from consideration.
Queue Time (Fmt)	The sum of the durations (HH:MM:SS) that interactions spent at ACD queue resources prior to arrival at the IRF resource. This duration excludes abandoned-while-queued interactions.
Routing Point Time (Fmt)	The sum of the durations (HH:MM:SS) that this IRF spent in routing point resources or routing strategy resources prior to arrival at the IRF resource.
Total Duration (Fmt)	The total duration (HH:MM:SS) of the IRF resource's participation in the interaction, irrespective of the interval(s) in which the IRF endures, including hold duration and the time that the interaction spent in mediation. This measure excludes alert duration, received consultations, and received collaborations.
Customer Engage Time (Fmt)	The amount of time (HH:MM:SS) that the agent processed a customer-related interaction at this resource during an interaction handling attempt. This measure includes internal interactions. For synchronous interactions, this is the time that the agent spent interacting with a customer. The duration includes talk duration of conferenced interactions. For asynchronous interactions, this is the time that the agent spent handling an inbound interaction from a customer, handling an internal interaction from another agent, or handling a reply interaction back to the customer. This duration excludes consultations and collaborations, whether they were initiated or received.
Customer Hold Time (Fmt)	The amount of time (HH:MM:SS) that the agent had the customer on hold. This measure excludes hold durations that are associated with initiated or received consultations but includes hold duration of conferenced interactions.
Customer Handle Time (Fmt)	The sum of the Customer Engage Time, Customer Hold Time, and Customer Wrap Time metrics.
Customer Alert Time (Fmt)	For voice interactions, the amount of time (HH:MM:SS) that the interaction was ringing at the resource during a voice handling attempt while a customer was present. For multimedia interactions, the amount of time (HH:MM:SS) that the customer-related interaction was alerting at the resource during an interaction handling attempt. For email interactions, this measure includes agent's handling of an inbound email from a customer or an internal email from another agent, or handling a reply email back to the customer. This measure excludes handling a collaboration, whether on the initiating or receiving side.
Customer Dial Time (Fmt)	The amount of time (HH:MM:SS) that the IRF resource spent initiating an outbound, customer-related interaction. The duration starts when the dialing event is sent, includes the mediation time that the initiator incurs while waiting for the target resource to connect, and ends when the call is either established or terminated on no answer. Initiated consultations are excluded from consideration.
Customer Wrap Time (Fmt)	The amount of time (HH:MM:SS) that the resource was in interaction-related After-Call Work (ACW or Wrap) state that pertained to this customer voice-interaction resource. The duration excludes ACW duration that is associated with received consultations.
Conference Initiated Time (Fmt)	The amount of time (HH:MM:SS) that a conference initiated by the IRF resource was connected (established). Duration applies only to the portion of the IRF that represents the IRF resource as a conference initiator.
Conference Received Time (Fmt)	The amount of time (HH:MM:SS) that a conference that was joined by the IRF resource was connected (established). Duration applies only to the portion of the IRF that represents the IRF resource as a conference joiner.

Because of the volume of data that this report could potentially generate, Genesys recommends that you restrict the start and end dates to the narrowest range that satisfy your report criteria. The default date selections span one day. Specification of agent and queue prompts will also improve report performance and limit the data that is retrieved.

Unlike the prompt behavior in all other reports, the time component of the Start and End Time prompts is active. For multiple-switch environments that share the same queue names across switches, you can customize this report to recognize a particular switch-queue combination (instead of the queue alone) to retrieve the desired results.

For Oracle RDBMSs, the Handling Attempt Hint attribute must be listed first on the query panel in order for the instructions of optimization to be processed.
