Settings

The following settings are mandatory:

  • Start Time: Includes previews that were created after this time.
  • Stop Time: Includes previews that were created before this time.
  • Dimension: How you wish to group the report. If a "Time Interval" is selected, we break down preview requests by the time interval selected in the Time Interval Setting.
  • Time Interval: This is mandatory, and applicable only when "Time Interval" is the selected dimension. We group preview requests by this time interval and consider the calls for these preview requests. The columns relating to agent status are limited by the length of the time interval, e.g., if we group by "Ten Minutes," each can be at the most ten minutes per agent.

The following settings are optional:

  • Campaign: Includes previews made on a queue that has this campaign assigned.
  • Agent: Includes previews made by this agent, or these agents.
  • Queue: Includes previews made on this queue, or these queues.
  • Team: Includes previews made by an agent on this team.
