Following the table is a visual representation of each segment in the main types of calls. Bill Time and Call Time are part of every call. All other segments and events are displayed only if the call includes a warm conference, cold transfer, third-party transfer, or consultation. Code Segment Description G After-call work time Answering-machine detection Time spent finishing call-related work after disconnecting but before selecting a disposition. This leg occurs also when the agent leaves the call after a transfer or consultation with a third party. Appears in the call log but is not measured. 1 Bill time (rounded) Starts when the agent answers the call (leg 1) and ends when the agent disconnects the call in the last leg. In inbound calls, bill time starts when the IVR engages the call. In outbound calls, bill time starts when the call is created. Bill Time is calculated for each leg of a call because each leg, such as transfer or conference, is considered a separate call. Therefore, the call log contains as many Bill Times as call legs. 2 Call time Elapsed time between call connection and disconnection. For inbound calls, connection occurs when the call is picked up by the IVR script. For outbound calls, connection occurs when the call is answered. For all call types, the time in milliseconds is rounded up if equal to or more than.500 ms or rounded down if less than.500 ms. Therefore, the duration that you see in reports may be one second more or less than the actual time of the call. 7 Conference time Optional.

Average Queue Time (AQT): Average time for all text items until they are assigned to or selected by an agent. Maximum Queue Time (MQT): Longest time for a text item until they are assigned to or selected by an agent.

The agent responds to a Twitter interaction received in the Social tab of the agent application. Email or chat request: Initial response may be an automated or manual welcome. Group SLA metric Group First Response Time = Average Queue Time + Average Agent s First Response Time Average First Response Time: Average time between Start Time and first responses of all items for the group during the specified interval.
