Introduction

ProConnect Call Center provides reporting functions for supervisors to report on activity and performance of agents and call centers under their supervision.  These reports are also referred to as Enhanced Reports.

There are two main categories of reports:

  1. Agent Reports: Displaying individual agent performance
  2. Call Center Reports: Displaying the performance of the call center queue.

  2. A Report window appears.  Select a report template from the drop-down list.  Options will include all Agent and Call Center report templates.
  3. The page displays the input parameters for the report, which will vary depending on which report template you choose. Fill in the required information.  The section below provides information regarding each input parameter option.

For Agent Reports, it allows you to specify the agents to include in the report.  You can check All Agents or Agents.  If you check Agents, select agents from the drop-down list.  NOTE:  This parameter is disabled when an agent runs the report, since agents can only run reports about themselves.

For Call Center Reports, it specifies the call centers or DNIS numbers to include in the report.  You can check All Call Centers, Call Center, or DNIS.  If you check Call Center, select call centers from the drop-down list.  If you select DNIS, select a call center and DNIS numbers from the drop-down lists.  For DNIS you can also select ALL DNIS.

  1. Click Run Report.

The results of the report are displayed in the Report Output area of the window.  See the following section for an example of an Enhanced Report.

1a. Report Results (Example)

Depending on the report type, the report results can contain the following elements:  A pie chart, a bar chart, a table, a high-water marks table, and a line chart.

If you select HTML or PDF report format when requesting a report, the report is displayed in the Report window.  If you select XLS, a file is created that you can save on your computer.

This section provides an example of an Enhanced Report:  Abandoned Calls Report.  For more information on the reports available in Call Center, see the Call Center Reports Guide.

The results of the Abandoned Calls Report are presented in a bar chart and table.

Real-time reports for individual agents contain data for each time interval, with the last interval reflecting real-time data, if requested (subject to the refresh rate).  When the interval switches over, the final data for the last time period is captured and shown as historical data and real-time data is reflected in the new time interval.

    • To schedule the report on a specific day of the week within the month, for example the second Monday of the month, check the <X> <Day of week> of the month and select X and Day of week from the drop-down lists.
  • If you selected Yearly, specify the frequency of occurrence in years, for example every two years, and specify the day for the recurrence of the report. Select one of the following options:
  • To schedule the report on a specific day of the year, check Day <X> of <Month> and select the day and the month.
  • To schedule the report on a specific day of the week and month, for example, the first Sunday of January, check the <X> <Day of week> of <Month> and select X, Day of week, and Month from the drop-down lists.
  • If you selected a recurring report, specify when the reporting should end. Select from the following options:
  • Never
  • After <X> occurrences, and enter the number of occurrences
  • Date, and select a date from the calendar
  1. Specify the report time frame.
  • For a report that is not recurrent, specify the actual time frame of the report.
  • For a recurrent report, specify the report start date, time, and the time frame relative to the report generation time.
  1. Enter the e-mail addresses of the recipients of the report.
  2. Enter the remaining parameters (see section 2 of this article), as required.
  3. Run Report
  4. Click Schedule Report.

The report is scheduled.  It is run at the specified times and sent to the recipients configured in the report schedule.

NOTE:  A report time frame specifies the period for which the report is requested and it always has a beginning date and time and an end date and time.  For a report that is not recurrent, enter the actual dates and times.  For a recurring report, the time frame is specified relative to the moment when the report is run, and can be previous <x> hours, days/weeks, months, or years.  The start date and time (and for weekly reports for day of the week) determine when the report is run for the first time.  At execution time, the relative time frame is converted to the actual dates and times.  The actual time frame always starts at the top of the hour, day, week, month, or year and is based on the selected time zone and day of the week.  For example, if a report is scheduled to run every day at 5:45 P.M. for the previous two hours, then the actual time frame of the report is from 3:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. of the day when the report is run.
