The ShortCalls elds within the Skill_Group_Half_Hour and Agent_Skill_Group_Half_Hour
tables are incremented if the Talk Time is less than the Answered short call threshold congured
for the peripheral. The call is reported both as handled and as a short call.
If auto-answer is enabled for the agent, and if there are a high number of short calls within a
certain interval, reporting on short calls can be used to determine which agents were not at their
station when a call was automatically answered. This assumes that the caller hangs up quickly
when there is no agent on the phone.
Reporting on VRU Applications
You can use a VRU for a number of different purposes, including queuing, customer self-service,
and information gathering.

Self-Service, Information Gathering, and Queuing VRU Applications
This section is applicable only if you are using a Network VRU in your deployment.
VRU applications include Self-Service, Information Gathering, and queuing.
A self-service application is designed for callers to obtain routine information via VRU menu
options. Only for exceptional cases would the call be routed to an agent.
You must be able to determine the following from an IVR service used for customer self-service:
How many calls traversed the application
How long each call remained in the self-service application
How many calls did not require agent intervention
How many calls were eventually routed to agents
Information Gathering VRU applications are used to decide what skill group to queue the call
to by walking the caller through a series of voice prompts. The Caller Entered Digits (CED) are
passed back from the VRU to be used within the routing script, to decide the optimal skill group
to answer the call.
You must be able to determine the following from an IVR service used for information gathering:
How many calls traversed the application
