ADVANCED

The Advanced Search feature is a powerful search method, which you can use to specify certain criteria that cannot be defined in Basic Search (for example Comments CONTAINS (text) ) as well as criteria that can be selected using Basic Search. To use this feature you need to construct queries using the Quality Management Query Language.

To open this feature, click Advanced Search near the quick search box. This will automatically expand the advanced search box where you can enter your search query fields. A field in the Quality Management Query Language is a word that represents a table column from the Search Calls page. Functions are used to perform advanced and complex calculations on specific recordings or evaluations data. Advanced search works with operators and keywords.

The operators used in Advanced Search queries are:

=  equals

!=  different from (excludes from search all values typed after this operator)

>  greater than (a certain value)

>= greater than or equals  (a certain value)

<  smaller than (a certain value)

<= smaller than or equals (a certain value)

The keywords used in the Advanced Search queries are:

AND – used to combine items of different criteria in order to narrow the results as much as possible

OR – used when searching for alternative results in the query

LIKE – used to obtain recordings when searching by partial words; results returned are all that contain the word or letters entered in the search query

IN – used when searching for multiple results of the same criteria

IS - used to obtain results that are empty

IS NOT - used to obtain results that are not empty 

CONTAINS - used when searching for transcriptions that contains a specific word or query

NOT CONTAINS - used when searching for transcriptions that not contains a specific word or query

BETWEEN – used when searching for results within a specific date range

To search for a certain agent’s recordings in Advanced Search, click Advanced Search and start typing the criteria. A list of suggestions automatically appears, with all the fields containing the typed letters or word. Select the correct suggestion from the drop-down list; now the first field of the search query is displayed. After this, press the spacebar and a list of operators will automatically appear in a suggestions drop-down. Choose the proper operator for your current search and then press the spacebar. If your search concerns something other than a numeric value, a list of suggestions will appear in a drop-down. Select the item you want to find from the list and then press Enter to validate the search query. The page will then load all the recordings that fit the search parameters.

A search query in Advanced Search can be simple or complex. Any simple query can be identified if the Basic Search button, at the right end of the search box, is activated. By clicking Basic Search, the filters will automatically convert to basic, which means that the search criteria and results remain the same, but with the basic search filters applied. The same filters that are applied in Advanced Search can also be applied from Basic Search.

An example of a simple search query is:

Evaluator = "[agent_name]" AND "Has Passed" = Yes

A complex query can be identified if the Basic Search button is not activated. By hovering the mouse over the deactivated Basic Search button, it will show the following information: “Search query is too complex.” This means that not all filters applied in the Advanced Search can be found in, and therefore, converted to Basic Search.

An example of a complex search query is:

Evaluator = "[agent_name]" AND Score > 50

Keep in mind that any Basic Search can be converted to an Advanced Search query, however not all Advanced Search queries can be converted to Basic Search.

To clear the query and reset the results to default, delete all the information in the advanced search box and press Enter.

Edit Evaluation

The main function of this feature is editing evaluations you choose. The evaluations are completed using templates you can create and edit using the QA Template Editor, located on the Settings Page. Click on Edit Evaluation option to start editing the evaluation in a new page. 

Edit Evaluation Process

Select an evaluation from the list and open the Edit Evaluation page. The template content is displayed in the window. Change answers for the questions you want. You can see that the timer starts counting adding your work to the total duration. The are four questions types you can find in templates. The simple Yes or No question type will have two possible answers and you can choose only one of them. Usually the "yes" answer gives the agent all the points for the question and the "no" answer gives no points, but that is customizable. Single Choice Questions have multiple answers but only one answer can be selected. You can recognize this type of question in the evaluation form, as the answers have radio buttons. The Multiple Choice questions have multiple answers and each one of them can be selected in the evaluation process. You can recognize them by the check-boxes. Scale questions require an answer within a measurable interval. You can recognize a scale question in the evaluation form as it has a dragable horizontal bar that you can drag to establish the desired level.

There will be templates that have a comment icon next to a question or next to the name of the template. Wherever you see that icon, you can add a comment or edit an existing one. Click the icon and an editable text box will appear on the screen. There you can enter your comment. You can save default comments. All the comments will be displayed in the evaluation report. You also have the option to add @mentions in your comments. Let's say you are a QA team member and you evaluate an agent's call and you want to consult the agent's supervisor regarding something the agent said. You simply have to open the comment field and type @ followed by the first letters of the supervisor's e-mail address and simply select the person you want from the populated list. Add the information you want the supervisor to read. When you save the evaluation, an e-mail will be sent to the supervisor's inbox displaying the information you typed in and a button that redirects the user to exactly where the comment was added.

After you have chosen the answers and added notes to questions or the template (if applicable), click Save in the upper right hand side of the page in front of the Delete button. A confirmation message with the scoring for the evaluation will be displayed, highlighted in green at the bottom of the page. Select the drop-down menu below the Quality Assurance header. In the Completed section you will find your evaluation.

You can also delete evaluations. Click an evaluation from the Completed section. Evaluations open in the QA window with the answers selected by the auditor. Next to the drop-down menu you will see the score of the evaluation. Click Delete found between Save and Download in the upper right hand side of the page. The following prompt will be displayed: “Are you sure you want to delete this Evaluation?” and the options Delete and Cancel. Click Delete. You will see the “Evaluation deleted successfully!” message highlighted in green on the bottom of the page. The evaluation that was previously deleted will no longer show up in the evaluations list.

There are different types of evaluations you can complete depending on the template you want to use. For example, if the template contains sections with nested questions, when you start to evaluate the call, the nested questions will be displayed only if the parent question you chose belonged to the parent. For example, let’s say that we have the parent question: “Did the agent use the caller’s name?” and the answers “yes” and “no.” If the answer we choose is yes, the nested child question will be displayed: “How many times?” If we chose "no," the nested child question will not show because it has no logical reason to do so and the evaluation will show the next question.

Click this option and the application displays in an elegant, HTML format all the evaluations details. The questions, answers, comments, hints, notes, and overall comments are displayed on the printable report, on which results are very easy to read.

The report can be accessed directly in the reports drop-down in evaluations page or it can be viewed by the user in the evaluation screen. Just save the evaluation and the button becomes enabled and the report can be viewed.

All reports, except for Single Evaluation Report and Calibrated Evaluation Report, can be exported in Excel format, using the Export button, located in the right upper hand corner of the page. The Excel file downloads locally and it can be edited and printed.

Edit Evaluation

The main function of this feature is editing evaluations you choose. The evaluations are completed using templates you can create and edit using the QA Template Editor, located on the Settings Page. Click on Edit Evaluation option to start editing the evaluation in a new page. 

Edit evaluation process

Select an evaluation from the list and open the Edit Evaluation page. The template content is displayed in the window. Change answers for the questions you want. You can see that the timer starts counting adding your work to the total duration. The are four questions types you can find in templates. The simple Yes or No question type will have two possible answers and you can choose only one of them. Usually the "yes" answer gives the agent all the points for the question and the "no" answer gives no points, but that is customizable. Single Choice Questions have multiple answers but only one answer can be selected. You can recognize this type of question in the evaluation form, as the answers have radio buttons. The Multiple Choice questions have multiple answers and each one of them can be selected in the evaluation process. You can recognize them by the check-boxes. Scale questions require an answer within a measurable interval. You can recognize a scale question in the evaluation form as it has a dragable horizontal bar that you can drag to establish the desired level.

There will be templates that have a comment icon next to a question or next to the name of the template. Wherever you see that icon, you can add a comment or edit an existing one. Click the icon and an editable text box will appear on the screen. There you can enter your comment. You can save default comments. All the comments will be displayed in the evaluation report. You also have the option to add @mentions in your comments. Let's say you are a QA team member and you evaluate an agent's call and you want to consult the agent's supervisor regarding something the agent said. You simply have to open the comment field and type @ followed by the first letters of the supervisor's e-mail address and simply select the person you want from the populated list. Add the information you want the supervisor to read. When you save the evaluation, an e-mail will be sent to the supervisor's inbox displaying the information you typed in and a button that redirects the user to exactly where the comment was added.

After you have chosen the answers and added notes to questions or the template (if applicable), click Save in the upper right hand side of the page in front of the Delete button. A confirmation message with the scoring for the evaluation will be displayed, highlighted in green at the bottom of the page. Select the drop-down menu below the Quality Assurance header. In the Completed section you will find your evaluation.

You can also delete evaluations. Click an evaluation from the Completed section. Evaluations open in the QA window with the answers selected by the auditor. Next to the drop-down menu you will see the score of the evaluation. Click Delete found between Save and Download in the upper right hand side of the page. The following prompt will be displayed: “Are you sure you want to delete this Evaluation?” and the options Delete and Cancel. Click Delete. You will see the “Evaluation deleted successfully!” message highlighted in green on the bottom of the page. The evaluation that was previously deleted will no longer show up in the evaluations list.

There are different types of evaluations you can complete depending on the template you want to use. For example, if the template contains sections with nested questions, when you start to evaluate the call, the nested questions will be displayed only if the parent question you chose belonged to the parent. For example, let’s say that we have the parent question: “Did the agent use the caller’s name?” and the answers “yes” and “no.” If the answer we choose is yes, the nested child question will be displayed: “How many times?” If we chose "no," the nested child question will not show because it has no logical reason to do so and the evaluation will show the next question.

Timeline

Click Hide/Show Timeline located at the bottom of the screen, to show or hide the timeline. The function is available on the Search Evaluations Page and Search Calls Page and is designed for user convenience. If you want to find a particular call on the Search Evaluations Page, you can click the call and click Show Timeline to listen to the call without opening it in a new page.

The timeline contains a series of useful elements displaying important information for the auditor. The first row displayed on the left side of the timeline is Events forward/previous. The next row contains the Caller ID buttons followed by the Agent Name forward/previous buttons.

The Events forward/previous buttons allow the user to bounce from one call event to the other, a feature that might be useful for long calls. The call events you can move between are Notes and Call Sub-Events. For some calls, the auditor might be interested in just a specific phrase, and place a note on the timeline in the specific point of the call when the phrase is said. Once the note is saved, the next event arrow will jump to the desired section of the interaction.

Call Sub-Events are displayed on the timeline to help the user easily identify the hold periods. This means that the timeline shows all the states the call passes through, from recording to complete.       

Caller ID and Agent Name forward/previous buttons have the same functionality, but the events they move between are different. Caller ID and Agent Name forward/previous arrow functions are enabled when the calls are transcribed. In this case, the person who is listening to the call has the option to move from one transcribed phrase to the next or previous one. 

Timeline Scrubber

The scrubber is the progress tab display located at the base of the timeline. Using the scrubber you can move from one point of the interaction to another by clicking on the desired time.

The scrubber has a feature called Bird’s Eye, which allows you to control exactly where you are on the Timeline. When the evaluated call is longer than the length of the screen, Bird’s Eye enables the area you are seeing to become highlighted in blue.

Timeline Filter

The Timeline Filter is very useful for the auditor to identify key words on the timeline. It is located on the upper bar next to Show/Hide Timeline button.

If the word entered in the filter is repeated, it is highlighted in all the timeline channels, with no exception. To move from one highlighted word to the next, you can click the Next and Previous buttons next to the Filter. This allows you to move between found words on the entire Timeline, in the order they are displayed. If you are interested in a specific channel, you can hop from one word to the next by clicking the Next and Previous buttons belonging to the respective channel.

Notes

A text box called Timestamp will appear on the screen.

Click a time stamp in the timeline. Recording stops and the notes field becomes active and ready for editing. Type your note in the Timestamp text box and click + next to the text box. The application displays the “Note saved successfully!” message highlighted in green on the bottom of the page and the note appears instantly on the top of the page with details: username, date, and time the note was added. Your note is displayed with the correct time stamp on the timeline. You can add @ Mentions in notes. Type @ followed by the first letters of the user's e-mail address and simply select the person you want from the populated list. Add the information you want the mentioned user to read. When you save the note, an e-mail will be sent to the supervisor's inbox displaying the information you typed in and a button that redirects the user to the Search Calls Page, and displays the call and the timestamp where the note was added.

You can jump from one note to the next on the timeline just by clicking on the note field. The application also shows the time and date when the note was added and the name of the agent who added the note.

You also have the option to delete a call note. At the end of each Note line there is an X button; click on it if you want to delete that note. A message will appear on the screen in a pop-up window: “Are you sure you want to delete this Note?” and the options “Delete” and “Cancel” below the question. Click Delete.
