Contact Center Performance Report

To create a Contact Center Performance Report:

  1. On the Reports tab, select Performance Reports from the Views menu.
  2. Select Contact Center Performance Report from the list in the Objects pane.
    The Reports Wizard's first screen, Header, appears.
  3. Optional: To generate a header on the report, select Show Header and type your header text into the text box.
    Optional: To export the report to a file in the comma-separated values format, select the check box Create report with .csv friendly format (and then, after the report is created, select Actions > Save As and select Comma Separated as the report format). Do not use Workforce Management (WFM) to print reports that you created in ".csv friendly format," because the result may be truncated. To print such a file correctly, open it in a program that reads the .csv format, and then print it.
  4. Click Next.
  5. On the Date Range screen:
    1. Select a Granularity and a corresponding Start Date and End Date. (Your Granularity selection may restrict your Date selections.)
    2. Select a time zone.
    3. Select the Target type – activity, activity group, multi-site activity, site, business unit – for which you want the report generated. If you select multi-site activity or business unit, the following check box appears: Use Multi-site Activities. Leave checked to aggregate report data by multi-site activities.
    4. Click Next.
  6. On the Data screen, select the targets that you want to include in the report's data.
    This page's tree displays activities, sites, multi-site activities, or business units (depending on your choice of target). If you selected a target other than business unit, you can expand the tree's business units to display their contents. You can make multiple selections.
  7. Click Next.
  8. On the Performance Data Types screen, select the Data Types (statistics) that you want to include.
  9. Click Finish.
    The report appears in the Report Viewer.

In addition to actual and scheduled data, the Contact Center Performance Report now includes forecast-related data. You can select the granularity (15, 30 or 60) and select Calculated or Required forecast values.
