Service Level type determines how calls that abandon before Service Level threshold impact
the Service Level. Some contact centers would like abandoned calls to positively impact the
Service Level. These contact centers consider a call abandoned within the Service Level
threshold time a treated call (abandoned calls positively impact the Service Level).
Other contact centers might consider only those calls answered within the Service Level
threshold time as treated calls. These contact centers might want the Service Level to be
detrimentally affected by calls that abandon within the Service Level time (abandoned calls
negatively impact the Service Level). Others might choose to exclude the abandoned calls
from the Service Level calculation (Abandoned Calls Ignored).
There are three different ways to calculate Service Level based on the Service Level type dened
for the Service Level conguration parameter. They are described in the following table.
Table 3: Service Level Formulas
Formula Used to Determine Service LevelService Level Type
For Call Type and service: ServiceLevelCalls/(ServiceLevelCallsOffered
- ServiceLevelAband)
Ignore Abandoned Calls
For Call Type and service: ServiceLevelCalls/ (ServiceLevelCallsOffered)Negative impact of abandoned calls
For Call Type and service (ServiceLevelCalls + ServiceLevelAband)
/(ServiceLevelCallsOffered
Positive impact of abandoned calls
For an example of how Call Type Service Level and Service Level are calculated, consider the
following call counts:
Answered within Service Level threshold (ServiceLevelCalls) = 70
Abandoned within Service Level threshold (ServiceLevelAband) =10
Exceeded Service Level threshold (ServiceLevelCallsOffered (ServiceLevelCalls +
ServiceLevelAband)) = 20
Total Service Level events (ServiceLevelCallsOffered) = 100
The following table shows the different Service Levels calculated, based on the effect of
abandoned calls on Service Level setting.
Table 4: Service Levels Based on Different Calculations
Calculated Service LevelEffect of abandoned calls on Service Level setting
70/ (100-10)=77%Abandoned Calls ignored
70/100=70%Abandoned Calls negatively impact
(70 + 10)/100=80%Abandoned calls positively impact
