Queue Outline Report

This page describes how you can use the (Queues folder) Queue Outline Report to see detailed information about queue performance.

Understanding the Queue Outline Report

This report collects data from more than forty metrics that provide detailed counts related to customer interactions and consult interactions, showing how the number of interactions/consultations that entered a particular queue or queue group break down into the various queue-related metrics that provide interaction counts.

Use this report to see the interrelation of various queue-related metrics relevant to customer and consult interactions, and to understand how the metrics contribute to the sum total of all interactions that entered a queue resource.

(Q Customer) Entered	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 or established warm consultations entered this queue. Queue Group Attribute: The total number of times that customer interactions or established warm consultations entered queues that belong to this queue group. If an interaction enters this queue more than once, this metric counts each entrance separately.
(Q Customer) 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. The count excludes short-abandoned interactions and includes handling attempts that agents rejected, as well as warm consultations, conferences, and collaborations that agents received. This metric does include interactions for which no threshold was set by Router. This metric relies on the value of the short-abandoned threshold as configured in the [agg-gim-thld-QUEUE-IXN] section.

Queue Group Attribute: The total number of times that customer interactions or established warm consultations were distributed or pulled from queues that belong to this queue group. Distribution includes the interactions that were: Distributed to another queue. Distributed to an unmonitored resource. Accepted, answered, or pulled. Rejected/redirected upon no answer. Abandoned by the customer while they were alerting at the agent. If the interaction passes through more than one queue before it was distributed, the count is increased only for that device from which the interaction was distributed or pulled.
(Q Customer) 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.

Queue Group Attribute: The total number of times that customer interactions were cleared from virtual queues, workbins, or interaction queues that belong to this queue group. Clearing involves any of the following actions: Distribution to a parallel virtual queue. Default routed by the switch. Default routed by a routing strategy. Removing interactions that are determined to be stuck. Removing interactions for any other reason, such as abnormal stops. Removing interactions from a virtual queue by using the URS ClearTargets function. Removing interactions, reported in deployments that rely on Genesys Info Mart 8.5.004.06 or later, that the customer abandoned while parallel queued, except for interactions abandoned in the last-entered virtual queue. Clearing excludes: Interactions that were distributed from this virtual queue, workbin, or interaction queue. Interactions that were queued for consultation or collaboration. In deployments that rely on Genesys Info Mart 8.5.003.20 or earlier, Interactions that the customer abandoned while still queued.
