Table CHAT_SESSION_FACT
Description
In on-premises deployments with Genesys Chat managed by Chat Server and in cloud deployments with Genesys Chat or Advanced Chat, each row in this table describes a chat session. A chat session is a single chat interaction from the point of view of the server that manages chat activity, and a single conversation from the point of view of the customer. Multiple agents can participate in a single chat interaction (session).
Each fact is based on user data sent in an Interaction Server reporting event when the chat session ends. Genesys Info Mart extracts the KVP data from the G_USERDATA_HISTORY table in IDB, and the transformation job combines the statistics in each event into a single CHAT_SESSION_FACT record. Rows are inserted on receipt of the reporting event and are not updated. The chat statistics reported in each record are summarized by session and are not connected to specific agents or, in deployments that include Bot Gateway Server (BGS), bots.
The MEDIA_SERVER_IXN_GUID links the CHAT_SESSION_FACT record with the related INTERACTION_FACT (IF). In deployments that include BGS, the MEDIA_SERVER_IXN_GUID also links the CHAT_SESSION_FACT record with the related BGS_SESSION_FACT records. In this way, Genesys Info Mart enables you to generate reports that provide details about Genesys Chat or Advanced Chat activity at the interaction level, session level, and chat bot level:
- The MEDIA_SERVER_IXN_GUID links the CHAT_SESSION_FACT record with the related INTERACTION_FACT (IF).
- In deployments that include BGS, the MEDIA_SERVER_IXN_GUID also links the CHAT_SESSION_FACT record with the related BGS_SESSION_FACT records.
- In Genesys Engage cloud deployments with Advanced Chat, the THREAD_ID links the CHAT_SESSION_FACT record with the related CHAT_THREAD_FACT. To get interaction details associated with a thread, you can join CHAT_SESSION_FACT and IF (via the MEDIA_SERVER_IXN_GUID) and then filter the results by CHAT_SESSION_FACT.THREAD_ID.
Terminology note
The meanings of terms such as interaction, session, thread, and conversation have evolved with Genesys chat implementations, and these terms might have different technical meanings in different contexts, depending on the type and version of chat implementation in your deployment.
- For the CHAT_SESSION_FACT table, the reporting entity is a set of chat messages with a particular customer on a single topic. The messages occur in close time proximity to each other. From the point of view of the server managing the chat activity, the messages occur within a single interaction.
- In the Genesys Info Mart documentation, the reporting entity that is the subject of CHAT_SESSION_FACT records is always referred to as a session. In certain chat implementations in cloud deployments and, therefore, in documentation describing those deployments, such a set of messages could be referred to as an interaction, and the term session could have a different meaning (see next bullet).
- For the CHAT_THREAD_FACT table, the reporting entity is a thread of multiple chat interactions with a particular customer over time.
- In the Genesys Info Mart documentation, the reporting entity that is the subject of CHAT_THREAD_FACT records is always referred to as a thread. In certain chat implementations in cloud deployments and, therefore, in documentation describing those deployments, these linked interactions, or threads, are referred to as sessions or conversations. As noted in the previous bullet, in the Genesys Info Mart documentation the term session always refers to the individual interactions in a thread.
- The term asynchronous chat or asynchronous interactions refers to chat interactions when both parties are not present in the chat at the same time. The types of supported asynchronous chat scenarios depend on the type and version of chat implementation in your deployment and determine what columns are populated in the CHAT_SESSION_FACT table.

Column List
MEDIA_SERVER_IXN_GUID
The interaction GUID, as reported by Interaction Server. This value is the ID of the chat session. This GUID might not be unique. The value allows you to associate interaction details with the chat session details by using the following references:
- INTERACTION_FACT.MEDIA_SERVER_IXN_GUID = CHAT_SESSION_FACT.MEDIA_SERVER_IXN_GUID
- AND INTERACTION_FACT.START_DATE_TIME_KEY = CHAT_SESSION_FACT.START_DATE_TIME_KEY
In combination with START_DATE_TIME_KEY, MEDIA_SERVER_IXN_GUID forms the value of the composite primary key for this table in nonpartitioned as well as partitioned databases.
Note that in practice the size limit of column data is 50 characters, which corresponds to the data type size of the MEDIA_SERVER_IXN_GUID in the INTERACTION_FACT table.
ADDED_TS
The UTC-equivalent value of the date and time at which the event with chat data is received.
START_DATE_TIME_KEY
Based on KVP: ChatServerSessionStartedAt
Identifies the start of a 15-minute interval in which the chat session began. Use this value as a key to join the fact tables to any configured DATE_TIME dimension, in order to group the facts that are related to the same interval and/or convert the timestamp from the KVP to an appropriate time zone. In combination with MEDIA_SERVER_IXN_GUID, START_DATE_TIME_KEY forms the value of the composite primary key for this table in nonpartitioned as well as partitioned databases.
END_DATE_TIME_KEY
Based on KVP: ChatServerSessionClosedAt
Identifies the start of a 15-minute interval in which the chat session ended. Use this value as a key to join the fact tables to any configured DATE_TIME dimension, in order to group the facts that are related to the same interval and/or convert the timestamp from the KVP to an appropriate time zone.
TENANT_KEY
Based on KVP: csg_TenantId
The surrogate key that is used to join the TENANT dimension to the fact tables.
SESSION_DURATION
Based on KVP: csg_SessionTotalTime

MSG_FROM_AGENTS_SIZE
Based on KVP: csg_MessagesFromAgentsSize
The total size of all messages visible to the customer that were sent by all agents involved in the chat. The size is expressed as number of characters, including spaces.

AGENT_REPLY_COUNT
Based on KVP: cse_AgentReplyTotalCount
The total number of agent replies to the customer.
AGENT_REPLY_MAX_DURATION
Based on KVP: cse_AgentReplyMaxTime
The maximum amount of time, in seconds, the agent(s) spent replying to the customer (in other words, the maximum amount of time that elapsed between the customer's response and the time the first agent actually sent a reply). If the customer's response was a set of messages, the reply interval is calculated from the time the first message in the set was received.
Note: For asynchronous (async) chat interactions, if a chat session was in a dormant state while a customer message was received, the time until the agent(s) rejoined the session is excluded.
AGENT_REPLY_DURATION
Based on KVP: cse_AgentReplyTotalTime
The total amount of time, in seconds, the agent(s) spent replying to the customer.
Note: For async chat interactions, if a chat session was in a dormant state while a customer message was received, the time until the agent(s) rejoined the session is excluded.
AGENT_WAIT_COUNT
Based on KVP: cse_AgentWaitTotalCount
The number of times the agent(s) waited for a reply from the customer.
AGENT_WAIT_MAX_DURATION
Based on KVP: cse_AgentWaitMaxTime
The maximum amount of time, in seconds, the agent(s) spent waiting for a reply from the customer (in other words, the maximum amount of time that elapsed between the last response from any agent and the customer's reply). If the agent was waiting for a reply to a set of messages, the wait interval is calculated from the time the last message in the set was sent.
Note: For async chat interactions, cumulative dormant time until a customer's reply is received is excluded.
AGENT_WAIT_DURATION
Based on KVP: cse_AgentWaitTotalTime
The total amount of time, in seconds, the agent(s) spent waiting for a reply from the customer. If there were multiple agents on the chat, a time interval is counted only once.
Note: For async chat interactions, cumulative dormant time until a customer's reply is received is excluded.

The amount of time, in seconds, the customer waited until the first agent visible to the customer joined the session. An agent is not visible to the customer until the interaction has been successfully routed to and accepted by the agent.
The meaning of a value of 0 (zero) depends on the value of AGENTS_COUNT:
- If AGENTS_COUNT = 0, no agent ever joined the session.
- If AGENTS_COUNT > 0, an agent joined very quickly or existed on the session from the start.
UNTIL_FIRST_REPLY_DURATION
Based on KVP: csg_SessionUntilFirstReplyTime
The amount of time since the start of the session, in seconds, until the first agent submits into the chat session the first greeting/message that is visible to the customer.
