Queue Summary Report

This page describes how you can use the (Queues folder) Queue Summary Report to assess the performance of configured queues in your contact center.

Understanding the Queue Summary Report

This report provides detailed information about interactions that enter each queue and that are either abandoned, or distributed and handled by any routing target, such as an agent. Information is organized by Media Type, Queue, and Interaction Type, and an extensive list of call handling and disposition metrics is collected to track call acceptance, wait times, abandonment rates, handling, distribution, consultations, and other metrics.

Use this report to assess the performance of configured queues, to understand what percentage of interactions in each queue were accepted within the defined service level, and to compare the performance of each queue in handling interactions.

Metrics used in the Queue Summary Report

Metric	Description
%Accept Service Level	The description of this metric varies according to the attributes and filters in the report query: Queue Attribute: The service level of this queue measured as a percentage of interactions that entered this queue and were accepted within the acceptance threshold, relative to all interactions that entered this queue and were offered to a resource. Queue Group Attribute: The service level of this queue group measured as a percentage of interactions that entered queues that belong to this queue group and were accepted within the acceptance threshold, relative to all interactions that entered queues that belong to this queue group and were offered to a resource. This metric yields results other than 0 only for interactions that were accepted by an agent. This metric relies on the value of the acceptance threshold as configured in the [agg-gim-thld-QUEUE-IXN] section.
Offered	The description of this metric varies according to the attributes and filters in the report query: Queue Attribute: The total number of interactions that entered this queue and were subsequently offered to a resource. Queue Group Attribute: The total number of interactions that entered queues that belong to this queue group and were subsequently offered to a resource. This metric excludes short-abandoned interactions and includes handling attempts that agents rejected, as well as consultation calls, conferences, and collaborations that agents received. This metric relies on the value of the short-abandoned threshold as configured in the [agg-gim-thld-QUEUE-IXN] section.
Accepted	The description of this metric varies according to the attributes and filters in the report query: Queue Attribute: The total number of times that customer interactions and warm consultations that were distributed from this queue, were accepted, answered, or pulled by an agent, voice-treatment port, IVR port, or nonagent-associated DN (such as contact center resources that can alert). Queue Group Attribute: The total number of times that customer interactions and warm consultations that were distributed from queues that belong to this queue group, were accepted, answered, or pulled by an agent, voice-treatment port, IVR port, or nonagent-associated DN.
Abandoned Waiting	The description of this metric varies according to the attributes and filters in the report query: Queue Attribute: The total number of times that customer interactions entered this queue and were abandoned or dropped for any reason before the interactions could be distributed. Queue Group Attribute: The total number of times that customer interactions entered queues that belong to this queue group and were abandoned or dropped for any reason before the interactions could be distributed. The count includes short-abandoned interactions and excludes interactions that were abandoned after distribution, such as abandoned-while-inviting interactions.
% Abandoned Waiting	The description of this metric varies according to the attributes and filters in the report query: Queue Attribute: The percentage of customer interactions that both entered this queue and were subsequently abandoned before the interactions could be distributed, relative to the total number of interactions that entered this queue.

Queue Group Attribute: The average amount of time (HH:MM:SS) in seconds, that customer interactions or established warm consultations spent in queues that belong to this queue group before they were distributed.
Avg Clear Time (Fmt)	The description of this metric varies according to the attributes and filters in the report query: Queue Attribute: The average amount of time (HH:MM:SS) that customer interactions spent in a queue before they were cleared from this virtual queue. Queue Group Attribute: The average amount of time (HH:MM:SS) that customer interactions spent in a queue before they were cleared from virtual queues that belong to this queue group.
Avg Accept Time (Fmt)	The description of this metric varies according to the attributes and filters in the report query: Queue Attribute: The average amount of time (HH:MM:SS) that customers waited before their interactions—distributed from this queue—were accepted by a handling resource.

This metric is identical to Queue\ASA.
Max Accept Time (Fmt)	The description of this metric varies according to the attributes and filters in the report query: Queue Attribute: The longest amount of time (HH:MM:SS) that customer interactions that were distributed from this queue spent in a queue before they were accepted by the target resource. Queue Group Attribute: The longest amount of time (HH:MM:SS) that customer interactions that were distributed from queues that belong to this queue group, spent in a queue before they were accepted by the target resource. Duration starts when the interaction enters the member queue and ends when the interaction is accepted—thereby, including alert (ring) time.

Avg Hold Time (Fmt)	The description of this metric varies according to the attributes and filters in the report query: Queue Attribute: The average amount of time (HH:MM:SS) that agents had customers on hold for interactions that were distributed from this queue. Queue Group Attribute: The average amount of time (HH:MM:SS) that agents had customers on hold for interactions that were distributed from queues that belong to this queue group. This metric is attributed to the interval in which interactions entered the queue which can differ from the interval that interactions were placed on hold.

This metric is computed as handle time divided by the sum of agent-accepted interactions and simple consult interactions that agents received. This metric is attributed to the interval in which interactions entered the queue.
