Measure

In data warehousing terminology, a measure is an estimation of the magnitude of an Template loop detected: Template:Glossaryterm. For example, a measure might represent the duration of a call, or the number of agents logged in at a given moment.

Aggregation

A dimensional modeling technique that presummarizes detailed facts; also, a function of transforming data into statistics. Aggregation typically involves time-based data selection, additional filtering that is based on a specified combination of attributes, and calculation itself. Aggregation is used to enhance query performance.

Fact_Table

In a Star Schema, one large central table that typically contains one or more numerical measures or facts, such as Calls Handled, Total Time on Inbound, Dollars Sold, and so on.
A database table that consists of the measurements, metrics, or facts of a business process. It is often located at the center of a star schema, surrounded by dimension tables. Revenue tables often are categorized as fact tables.

CC_Pulse

CC Pulse+, formerly CC Pulse, is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) application that facilitates the analysis of staffing, scheduling, business, and contact-routing strategies by using statistics collected on agents, agent groups, queues, routing points, places, and groups of places. Monitoring also occurs for media activities, such as e-mail and voice contact.

Open_Media

Media types that may be processed in your Genesys environment, but which are distinct from voice and Multimedia.

Interaction_Concentrator

Also known as ICON. A Genesys product that collects and stores detailed data from various sources in a contact center that is empowered by using Genesys software. Downstream reporting systems can access Interaction Concentrator data in near–real time.
Operating on top of Genesys Framework, the product consists of a server application that is called ICON and a database that is called Interaction Database (IDB). The server receives data from data sources such as Configuration Server, T-Server, or particular Genesys solutions; it then stores this data in IDB by using Genesys DB Server.

Extraction,_Transformation,_and_Loading

Also known as ETL. The ETL process consists of all of the steps that are necessary in order to extract data from different locations transform raw operational data into consistent, high-quality business data; and load the data into a data warehouse.

IWD Reporting

Genesys iWD offers comprehensive reporting, providing management insight into business operation. It provides key indicators of performance both through current-day statistics and on an historical basis. The historical metrics are provided based on aggregates and measures that are populated by scheduled ETL processes, which extract data from the iWD History Node (from release 9.0) and load it into the iWD Data Mart.

iWD monitors the entire lifecycle of tasks, from the moment that they are captured until they are stopped (removed from the system). iWD provides:

  • Consolidated reporting across the various systems that are involved in customer-service delivery—fax servers, workflow, customer relationship management, and Genesys Customer Interaction Management.
  • Reporting that is based on business context—with business process, customer segment, and product independent of channel, instead of being limited to interactions, queues, channels, and workflows.

It does this by monitoring a number of events, including the following:

  • New—The point at which the task was captured by the Capture Point.
  • Classification and Reprioritization Rules Applied—All rules that are applied to the task, as well as the values that are calculated and assigned to the task.
  • Queued—The point at which the task has been classified and prioritized and is awaiting potential reprioritization or assignment to a resource.
  • Assigned—When the task was assigned to an employee for processing.
  • Transfer/Transfer to Queue—Whether the employee transferred the task to another employee or back to the queue.
  • Held—Whether the task was held (manual hold).

Each record is timestamped and stored in the iWD Data Mart, where the data that is collected can be leveraged in third-party reporting applications.

You can build reports by querying the iWD Data Mart by using the reporting tool of your choice. In addition, Genesys offers the Interactive Insights for iWD product, which includes a data universe and nine out-of-the-box reports, built to be used with the iWD Data Mart.

In addition to the iWD Data Mart, iWD interoperates with Interaction Concentrator (ICON) and Genesys Info Mart for historical reporting. Certain Info Mart fact tables (for example, MMEDIA_IXN_FACT_EXT and MMEDIA_SEG_FACT_EXT) store media-specific facts about open media as well as multimedia interactions and multimedia interaction segments.

iWD tasks all flow through Interaction Server queues as Open Media interactions (sometimes referred to as Third Party Media), so that these tables in Genesys Info Mart are populated with iWD data. Refer to the Interaction Concentratorand Genesys Info Mart documentation for more information.

You can also configure CCPulse+ to work with iWD.

Reporting Architecture

The following figure provides a functional overview of iWD’s reporting components. Third-party services can reference iWD statistics from the GTL_STAT table (GTL, for Global Task List) to display data in dashboards or within Genesys CCPulse+.

Important
Each iWD solution requires its own Data Mart.

iWD Data Mart Database Objects

iWD Data Mart consists of the following database objects:

  • Fine-grained fact tables—Store all attributes that are associated with tasks (I_TASK_FACT/H_TASK_FACT tables), work-related events (I_TASK_WORK_FACT/H_TASK_WORK_FACT tables), when the task was assigned to one or more agents; and a full audit history of the task (I_TASK_EVENT_FACT/H_TASK_EVENT_FACT tables).
Important
The term agent refers to any resource, configured as a Person object in Configuration Server, that can handle tasks. (Within Genesys Administrator, Person objects appear as User objects within the interface.)
  • Aggregated fact tables—Describe tasks in an iWD-oriented context across the various stages, or the iWD life cycle of the task, from capture and classification to distribution to agent.
  • Dimensions—Describe task attributes that are common across the fact tables in iWD Data Mart, such as iWD business process, priority, business value, and date and time. Fact tables link to these dimensions through keys.
  • Measure—Represent numerical values (such as totals, durations, averages, minimums, and maximums) that are stored in aggregated fact tables across intraday and historical intervals. For example, the total number of completed tasks by 15-minute interval by an iWD process and business value would be captured within the I_TASK_CAPT_FACT_15MIN intraday table.

When they are connected to existing enterprise data marts, including Genesys Info Mart, analysts gain access to comprehensive views of the entire customer experience. Analytical reporting leverages existing business intelligence tools, such as those that are provided by (which is an open-source product suite for business intelligence) or through a host of commercial products from Cognos or SAP Crystal Reports.
