Reporting in the cloud

What kind of reports are available in Genesys PureEngage Cloud?

To help you make informed, timely business decisions, Genesys PureEngage Cloud offers both real-time dashboard views and historical operational performance reports.

Genesys PureEngage Cloud reporting tools provide easy-to-read visual summaries of the activity in your contact center, including information about agent performance, queues, and detailed information about interactions.

• Current events — To see information about customer interactions that are currently taking place, you can use Genesys Pulse.
• Historical information — To see detailed information about what happened with customer interactions over a specified period of time, your environment includes either Genesys Customer Experience Insights (Genesys CX Insights) or Genesys Interactive Insights (GI2). If you are not sure which is available for your use, contact your administrator, or click Reporting in the Genesys PureEngage Cloud Portal.

Both real-time and historical reports are available using Web-based technology, so you can access contact center performance data anywhere, anytime.

How can I access real-time information?

When you need to understand the current status—what's going on right now—of your contact center performance, use Genesys Pulse to help manage the resources that interact with your customers. Genesys Pulse pulls data from a real-time metrics engine (Stat Server) and uses it to provide at-a-glance dashboard views of real-time contact center statistics. Genesys Pulse offers the flexibility and speed to make informed decisions quickly and gives you the tools to manage your service level objectives and improve employee performance.

To access Genesys Pulse, click the Platform Administration button on the Genesys Portal, log in, and then click Pulse in the header menu. For more information, see How do I generate real-time reports using Genesys Pulse?

List of ready-to-use reports: The following table lists the out-of-box reports displayed in widgets included in the default Genesys Pulse dashboard, and explains cases where you might find them useful:
[+] Genesys Pulse Reports and Use Cases

Report	Example Use Case
Agent Group Status—Displays the current number of agents in their various interaction handling states by group.	Use this report to see all of the agents assigned to a group, and the agent states, so you can get a quick look at available staff to see at-a-glance what members of the group are doing. For example, you can see what agents are on calls, on hold, in after call work, waiting for their next call, or not ready (including the details around the not ready reason – meeting, break, personal, project, coaching).
Agent KPIs—Displays agent key performance indicators for agent groups and individual agents within those groups.	Use this report to see, in a single view, the key metrics that track how agents are performing . For example, how does the number of interactions transferred compare with the number of interactions that were answered, so you can identify agents that might need additional training?
Agent Login—Displays agents that are logged in, what type of work they have been assigned, and their current status.	Use this report to view the status of your active agents, so you can ensure they are logged in and are assigned the correct kind of customer interactions.
Queue KPIs—Displays call activity associated with the interaction queues.	Use this report to see how customer contacts are being handled as they enter the contact center. For example, how long are customers waiting to be helped?, and what is the number of contacts that were abandoned before they were helped?; things that help you manage service level targets.

Each Genesys Pulse report presents information within graphical widgets that you can configure to show graphs or tables that provide information about incoming voice call queues, agent groups, or individual agents. You can personalize Genesys Pulse reports based on functional, geographical or organizational considerations. To customize reports, you select specific key performance indicators (such as service level, the number of interactions handled, or average handle time).

How can I access historical reports?

When you want to see how your contact center performs over time, use Genesys CX Insights / Genesys Interactive Insights to view Historical Reports.

[+] What are Historical Reports?

Historical Reports are reports that track call-center and agent performance over a period of time. Historical report data is generated by Automatic Call Distributors (ACDs), third-party ACD software packages, and peripherals such as Voice Response Units (VRUs) and Call Detail Recording Systems. The amount of historical data that can be stored varies from system to system.

Historical Reports provide near-real-time and historical data, enabling you to view part of the current day’s activities after data transformation and aggregation is complete. You can schedule reports to run at a certain time within the current day or you can run them upon demand.

Use Historical Reports to:

• Assess the day-to-day operations of your contact center resources for the routing and handling of interactions.
• Better tune resources to increase utilization and efficiency.
• Benchmark key performance indicators of quality and service.
• Identify corrective actions to help reduce costs and increase service.

Several historical reports are ready to use out of the box, and provide easy-to-read summaries of the performance of your contact center. You can specify date and time ranges for each report, and make other choices to control the output of each report. You access historical reports through either:

• Genesys CX Insights, which is built on a Microstrategy platform, and draws aggregated historical information from the Genesys Info Mart data warehouse to provide reports.
• Genesys Interactive Insights, which is built on a SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise (BOE) platform, and draws aggregated historical information from the Genesys Info Mart data warehouse to provide reports.

What is Genesys Info Mart all about?

For advanced users interested in understanding more about how historical reporting works in Genesys PureEngage Cloud, the Genesys Info Mart component is important. Genesys Info Mart is the underlying database that provides a structure for collecting contact center analytics data, and sorting it to provide insights to business users. Info Mart data can be used to create reports, feed analytical applications, or create executive dashboards. For more information, see the section in this document that describes exporting data from the Genesys Info Mart Historical Database.
