Queued Conversation Performance Report Metrics
The report is divided into two main sections:
- By Department
- By Hour
By Department
This section provides an overview of queue performance metrics for each department. The following metrics are displayed in table format.
| Metrics | Description |
|---|---|
| Department | Department name |
| Conversation Count | The total number of conversations received by departments. |
| Queued Conversation Count | The total number of conversations waiting in the queue for over three seconds. |
| Average Queue Duration | The average duration of conversations waiting in the queue (in HH:MM:SS format). |
| Total Queue Duration | The total duration of conversations waiting in the queue (in HH:MM:SS format). |
By Hour
This section offers a detailed view of queue performance, with metrics broken down into hourly intervals. The table includes the following metrics:
| Metrics | Description |
|---|---|
| Time Interval | Hourly interval (e.g., 00:00 - 01:00) |
| Conversation Count | The total number of conversations received by departments. |
| Queued Conversation Count | The total number of conversations waiting in the queue for over three seconds. |
| Average Queue Duration | The average duration of conversations waiting in the queue (in HH:MM:SS format). |
| Total Queue Duration | The total duration of conversations waiting in the queue (in HH:MM:SS format). |
- Data storage uses either the handover time or the client’s first response as the reference point. For example, if a conversation starts at 13:00, is assigned to an agent at 13:10, and ends at 14:25, it will be recorded as a queued conversation in the 13:00–14:00 hourly range, not the 14:00–15:00 range. Data is generated only for conversations that have ended.
- If you select a date range of more than one day on the page, the data you will see in this table will only include the start date of the range. When you export the report, it will show the detailed breakdown by day.
