To interpret agent data for Outbound Option tasks, you need to understand how Outbound
Option reserves agents, reports calls that are connected to agents, and handles calls dropped by
customers before the calls are connected.
When the Outbound Dialer initiates a call to a customer, it reserves the agent assigned to handle
the call by placing a reservation call to the agent and changing the agent's state to Hold. This
reservation call is reported as a Direct In call to the agent.
For typical voice calls, the agent is placed into Reserved state when Unied ICM software
reserves the agent to handle a call; the agent's state is reported as Reserved. For Outbound
Option calls, reports show the agent in Hold state when reserved for a call and the time that
agent spends reserved is reported as Hold Time.
When the customer answers the call, the Outbound Option Dialer transfers the call to an agent.
The call is now reported as a Transfer In call to the agent. When the customer call is transferred
to the agent, the reservation call is dropped by the Dialer and classied as Abandon on Hold.
For more information regarding Outbound Option termination call detail records, see the Cisco
ICM/IP Contact Center Enterprise Edition Outbound Option User Guide.
The abandoned call wait time, set in the Campaign Conguration screen, determines how calls
are reported if the caller hangs up. Calls are counted in the Customer Abandon eld in the
WebView campaign query templates (camqry01 and camqry02) only if the customer hangs up
before the abandoned call wait time is reached.

Reporting on Agent Redirection on No Answer
The Redirection on No Answer (RONA) feature ensures that if an agent does not answer a call
within a congurable amount of time, the call is assigned to a different skill group or agent.
The original agent is made Not Ready so that additional calls are not routed to that agent.
Redirection on No Answer metrics are reported directly from the ACD.
