Updated: 06/06/2024

Objective

Create custom metrics in Analytics for Contact Center.

Applies To

  • Analytics for Contact Center

Procedure

You can configure custom metrics for queues, as well as agent performance widgets. Basic validations prevent you from adding unsupported metrics. Once you define a custom metric, add it to the desired dashboard widgets.
Example 1: Let’s say you want to know the number of successful calls in your queue; those that entered the queue and were not abandoned. Simply create a custom metric by subtracting the abandoned calls from the number of calls that entered a queue.
Successful calls = Entered - Abandoned
Example 2: To determine the total number of calls handled within a queue, subtract the calls that were diverted from the queue to another queue (or another phone number) from the calls that entered the queue.
Total Calls Handled = Entered - Diverted
To configure custom metrics:
  1. In the top-right corner, click , and select Custom Metrics from the menu.
  2. From the pop-up window, select to create a custom metric for agent or queue metrics.
  3. Click New.
  4. Enter the name, display name, and the following information:
    1. Value Type: Indicate if the metric is of the Count, Percentile, or Time type.
    2. Metric Type: Select if the metric is real-time, interval-based, or for today.
    3. Description: Add a description for the metric.
    4. Formula: Add the correct formula to calculate the custom metric (Use arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).
Example: To find out the number of successful calls in a queue, select Queue Set, add other details shown in Step 4, and enter the formula Entered - Abandoned.
