Fields in this report

Definition

Calls Per Hour

The number of ACD calls handled per hour. Both cross interval and within interval data is used in the calculation.

Calls per hour = (A × 3600) ÷ B

Where:

A = Number of calls handled during the hour

B = Total in service time in seconds during the hour

Calls Per Paid Hour

The number of total calls handled divided by the number of paid hours.

Cost Per Call

The average cost per call for the day.

Daily Budget

The calculated total cost for the day.

Hourly Rate

The wage rate used in the calculations of the report.

Hours In-Service

The total number of in-service hours for the day.

Hours Paid

The total number of paid hours per day.

Number of Days

The total number of days of the week included in the report. For example, if the report is broken out by days of the week and the report covers three weeks, there will be three Mondays, three Tuesdays, and so on. The number of days for Monday is therefore three.

Service Queue

The name of the service queue that the agent supports.

Shift Length

The length of a work shift for a service queue.

Total Calls

The total number of calls for the day.

Utilization %

Utilization percentage is the percentage of time the agent spends handling ACD contacts in relation to the total amount of time the agent is logged in during the interval.

Utilization % = A ÷ B

Where:

A = Total handle time for handled contacts (total reported by the ACD)

B = Total in session (login) time (total reported by the ACD)
