Understanding incoming call statistics

We have seen how to access information through the page How to retrieve incoming call statistics; Now let's see in detail what the different data available correspond to.

Distribution Queue Statistics

The statistics available relate to calls that have been sent to a distribution queue.

All the actions implemented in the call scenario before the distribution queue are not included in the calculation of call statistics.

Standard indicators

When dealing with incoming calls for a switchboard or customer service, the main indicators to be aware of are:

  • calls presented = calls sent to the distribution queue
  • calls answered = calls picked up by a user
  • abandoned calls = calls hung up by callers
  • calls handled out of queue / calls overflowed = calls that changed distribution queue if the first one did not pick up.

Quality of service indicators are available to show that call flow processing is in line with the objectives you have set.
