Inbound Contacts' Volumes and Durations

Interaction - The highest level component that comprises the full activity of a communication with a contact. It can include multiple contacts and each contact includes several, more granular, elements that are called segments.

Contact - A conversation can have multiple contacts depending on the outcome of the initial contact. Examples of situations that will trigger a new contact include: transfer; fallback to a different ring group. Contacts are the main reporting element for Supervisors and the one that will be used for staffing purposes (by monitoring queue SLA and queue AHT).

Answered contacts - inbound contacts that reached an agent and were answered.

Missed contacts - implies that the contact went through the flow, and reached a hang-up (it may or may not ring an agent but in both cases, it will be missed since there was no action by the contact person to leave the queue) or in case that after the assignment the Contact is terminated by a flow rule.

Abandoned contacts - inbound contacts where the contact person finishes/disconnects the contact before reaching an agent (includes abandoned while ringing the agent). It is considered abandoned even if it rang an agent before. There was an explicit action by the caller to leave the queue.

Short abandoned contacts - inbound contacts disconnected by the contact person within the threshold defined in the system for short abandons.

Connected contacts - outbound contacts where the connection was successful and the agent reached the contact person.

Not connected contacts - outbound contacts where the connection with the contact person was not successful ending in the contact being disconnected.

Inbound Volumes vs Handle Time Comparison between the volume of incoming contacts with the time it took the agents to deal with the contact - the handle time - for all the inbound
contacts that occurred for each hour between 0 and 23 hours of the days considered in the timespan in the date filter and also for the combination of other filtering criteria that might be applied (Eg. filtering by a specific Ring Group and business hours = Yes)

Inbound AVG Handle Time For the inbound answered contacts, the time it takes on average a user/agent to handle a call.
