Reporting on Agent Task Handling
Agents can receive and place many different types of tasks.
WebView reports show you what kind of tasks agents are handling and how well they are
handling them. For example, there are reports that display statistics for calls placed, received,
transferred, and conferenced. There are reports that indicate how many calls were rerouted when
the agent failed to answer the call.
Types of Tasks
Voice calls can be external or internal. Single-session chat, multi-session chat, e-mail, and
Blended Collaboration task are always external.
Internal tasks are calls made to an agent from another person on the same ACD.
External tasks are calls that are placed off-switch, tasks that go through a voice gateway or
Media Routing PG, or tasks that are routed to an agent from a person on a different ACD. For
example, calls from the call center to customers are considered external.
In addition to being internal or external, voice call tasks can be incoming or outgoing.
Single-session chat, multi-session chat, e-mail, and Blended Collaboration task are always
incoming.
An incoming task is a task that an agent receives. An outgoing task is a call that an agent places.
For example, if a customer calls an agent, the call is incoming for the agent. If an agent calls a
supervisor, the call is outgoing for the agent.
For voice calls only, agents can also transfer calls, receive transferred calls, place consultative
calls, and engage in conference calls.
The following table describes the tasks that an agent can receive and place and how those tasks
are reported.

Internal InIncoming Direct Tasks are tasks that come directly to the agents
extension. These calls can be either internal (agent or device on same
ACD) or within the network to another switch.
Incoming
direct/internal
Examples of this kind of call include calls that are directly transferred
by another agent without going through a script and calls that resulted
from agent-to-agent calling.
Data for these calls are stored in the InternalCallsRcvd elds of the
Agent_Skill_Group_Half_Hour historical database table.
