In order to evaluate a Chat Interaction, an Evaluation Template must be created and assigned. Evaluation templates used for Call Interactions are not available for Chat Interactions by default, so it is likely that new templates should be created to accomodate this new feature.

1. Select the Settings Icon
2.  Select New
3. Enter a name for the Evaluation Template
4. Choose a Template Type. This detemines what type of interactions can be evaluated using this template
5. Add Sections and Questions as required
6. Select Save

Reporting on Chat Interaction Evaluations

Reporting on Chat Interaction Evaluations happens within the Reports section of QM/SA. A list of reports display to be selected as required, alternatively a New report can be created by selecting New.

1. Print/Download the report
2. View Interaction Details including Time, Agent name and Interaction Type
3. View Evaluation Details including who evaluated the interaction and the overall score
4. View Attachments
5. View Notes

Topic Detection

Reporting on Topic Trends for Chat Interactions, behaves in the same way as Call Interactions. The release of QM/SA 5.9 however, provides the option to select multiple Channels within the Topics depending on the interaction type. For example, the topic "Agent Resolution" applies to both Call and Chat Interactions.

To set a Topic to report on both Chat and Call Interactions, follow the steps below:

1. Select the Contact Analytics Center icon 
2. Select the Options icon next to the relevant Topic
3. Select Edit
4. Select the Channel drop-down
5. Select all Channels that apply. You can select as many or as few as required
6. Select Save

Topics can be set to report on both Chat and Call Interactions as well as Agent and/or Caller/Client.

In addition, new phrases can be created in the languages supported for Webchat. For example, you can now create phrases in German, Dutch Italian etc. 

Note: This feature is for use with digital channels, and is not available for voice.
