Agent Reports

Summary of the time an agent has spent on the various away states. Currently the report will show manual_away or a blank entry.
The blue manual_away is a clickable link that allows you to see the agent/s that used this status in greater detail.
Agents Status Detail
Allows you to see when team members have transitioned from one state to another – such as from active to away. This is particularly helpful when keeping tabs on a remote workforce that could be stationed across the country.
Agent statuses:
Non-ACD Call = external call, direct extension, outbound calls, etc
Ready - ready to take a queue call
Busy - on an inbound queue call
Wrap-up - on wrap-up time after a queue call
Logged on - logged into the queue
Agent Status Summary
You can see even more detail about any agent’s status, including how long they have been logged in and how long they have been active and taking calls. This also works well for teams that are distributed and working from both homes and offices. It also helps managers get a weekly or monthly overview of the actions their agents have taken during their shifts.
The blue agent number is a link to allow you to see greater details.
Total Busy ACD time - on queue calls

Overall Filter
Overall Filter - This is a filter that can be used to set and shared with all other reports. However, that overall filter may not work with some of the reports that are set up. It is best to use the filter in the actual report itself.
Schedules
With reports, you can have one or more of your reports emailed to you at a specific time on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Single or multiple reports can be added to the email delivery. Also, multiple emails can be added to a single report setup. This makes it easy for a specific department get a specific set of reports and another department can receive a completely different set of reports. To add a report you will first name the report. You are given the option to describe the report or add any notes about it you like. Next, you will see a dropdown of all your current reports.
Select the report(s) and the format in which you would like to receive them.
Next, it will ask you to select or enter in the desired email address(s)
After adding the email address(s) you can create the report.
This is what the report will look like once created. You have the option to delete the report, edit the report and run the report. Running the report will email the report as soon as it was finished compiling the information.
The emailed report will look something like this in your inbox.
Favorites
If you have a lot of reports but regularly only review daily you can mark them as favorites.
Once marked, you can go over to the favorite menu option and view only the favorited reports.

Compliance
Here you can enable or disable the allowance of CNAME (I.e. Company Name) on the account. This is to enable or disable if you need to comply if you are dealing with sensitive data. It can be important to ensure that call information stored on the system is not personally identifiable. This includes ensuring that someone can not lookup a name using a phone number as a search parameter or visa versa.
User Management
User management is just that. Here, you can manage users and their permissions in the reporting system. You can also get a quick glimpse of the permission for that user.
Clicking edit allows you to see the different sections that can be edited for that user.
Details - This lets you define the type of access the user will be able to have.
Permissions - This is where you are able to set what permissions each user will have in the reporting system.
Clients- This allows the user access to specific tools within the system.
Groups - Here you can grant permission to specific user groups.
Workspace - Here is where you can set the permissions for the different workspaces throughout the reporting system.
User groups - This is a quick reference to team members in a group and cal chosen call information for that group. Users in one group can also be placed in other groups they may be working with.
Contact Directory - Each directory configured on the system has its own permissions and custom fields which can be tailored for specific uses. Each directory also has a set of fixed fields (like telephone numbers and names) which are used within the system for specific purposes. Contacts can be manually entered in or uploaded via a CSV file. You must give it a name and a brief description.
Fields - Enter the user's contact information in these fields of a user in the system.
Screen Pop - If the contact information has been imported from a web-based CRM, it may be possible to provide Connect users with a screen-pop link when they are on a call to a directory contact.
When the screen-pop link is populated for a directory, the specific details of the contact will be added to the link at runtime, allowing the user to gain quick access to the contact's CRM record without having to search.
Reporting Settings - The following settings apply to all reports created on the system:
Ignore short ringing calls | When this setting is enabled, any call marked as short ringing will be ignored. | |
Short ringing call threshold1 | This threshold is used to control which calls are treated as short ringing. Any call with a duration less than this value (in the first segment) will meet the criteria. | |
Ignore short answered calls | When this setting is enabled, any call marked as short answered will be ignored. | |
Short answered call threshold1 | This threshold is used to remove short answered calls from reports so that they do not affect statistics. When configured, any call with a talk time of less than the Short answered threshold will be flagged as 'Short'. These calls can then be filtered out of reports if required. | |
Local area codes1 | To allow the system to identify which calls are local, enter a comma separated list of local area codes here. | |
Number of outbound lines | This setting should be configured with the maximum number of external lines that are available to use on the communications platform. This value is then used to work out the 'Trunk Percent Usage' statistics on the Trunk Usage reports. | |
Duration group interval | This setting controls the interval used for Calls by Duration / Ring Time / Talk |
Call Tags
Call tagging is a flexible feature designed to allow custom information to be added to call records, giving them context outside the communications platform and improving call reports.
Call tags can be managed from the 'Settings' area of the portal. Any user with the 'Manage Customer Settings' permission can add or edit tags.
To add a call tag, simply press the '+ Add Tag' button. Each tag must be given a 'Name' which will then be visible on Call List and Filters.
Each tag instance must be given a specific tag type. The values tagged against the call will then be validated against the tag type parameters.
Value Types | Parameters | Example Usage |
Text | N/A - Tag values can be anything up to 50 characters in length. | Adding custom information such as reference numbers. |
Yes/No | N/A | Flagging calls as VIP or a Sale. |
Pick List | When this type is selected, one or more valid items must be added on the 'Items' tab before saving. | Categorize calls by type or outcome. |
Numeric | Enter a valid range in which the number value tagged can fall between. | Rate a call for performance. |
Link Record | Enter a valid URL with a place holder {value} where the tagged data will be inserted.e.g. https://force.com/lightning/r/Contact/{value}/view | Add a reference number with a link, such as an Order or Support Ticket number. |
