When the Unied ICM software is used to provide initial call treatment and/or enterprise
queuing, the Unied ICM software reports on enterprise queue metrics. However once
the call is routed to an ACD the ACD may queue the call. In this case, Unied ICM
software reports on both enterprise queue and ACD queue metrics.
The Unied ICM system uses a Service Control VRU as the telephony platform for
enterprise queuing.
Reporting is the same whether the Unied ICM script uses a Send To VRU node or a
Translation Route To VRU node.
Call Type Metrics
When a call is translation-routed:
The AnswerWaitTime, ASA, and Service Level include both the time spent in the Enterprise
queue and the time spent in the ACD queue.
The measurement of AnswerWaitTime for a call begins when the call is queued. The
measurement of Service Level begins when the call arrives at the routing script or when its
Call Type is changed.
This means that if self-service is performed on a call before the call is queued to an agent,
the routing script must be set up to change the Call Type when self-service is completed.
Otherwise, the time spent in self-service will negatively impact the Service Level.
Abandoned statistics are classied in three ways:
Calls that abandoned while ringing at the agent desktop.
Calls that abandoned in an Enterprise queue while waiting for an available agent.
Total number of calls that abandoned. This includes calls that abandoned in a VRU
(prompting), calls abandoned in both Enterprise queue and ACD queue, and calls that
abandoned at the agent.
Note: Although the total abandons includes calls that abandoned at the ACD, there is no
separate count for only those calls that abandoned at the ACD.
When a call is not translation-routed:
The Call Type Abandoned metrics allow you to determine the number of calls that abandoned
in an enterprise queue while waiting for an available agent and the number of calls that were
abandoned while in self-service.
However, they do not allow you to determine the number of calls that were abandoned after
they left the VRU and before an agent answered them.
The Call Type Answered metrics will always be zero and are not applicable.
The Call Type Service Level metrics are not applicable.
