How to view performance, read shift timelines and view real-time data

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Dialpad WFM's reporting suite, offers you insight into key performance metrics. By accurately measuring performance, you can identify areas for improvement, optimise resource allocation, and ensure their teams are working at peak efficiency.

The performance page contains all the data on your team's performance. In this article we'll show you how to use this data to the fullest.

Available metrics

The metrics available to you are:

  • Scheduled time = The total amount of time an agent was scheduled for.

  • Utilisation = Percentage of time agents were scheduled on queue activities. (Queue time ÷ Scheduled time)

  • Total closed = Total number of closed contacts

  • Closed per hour = Average number of contacts/conversations closed per scheduled hour. (Total closed ÷ Scheduled time)

  • Closed per scheduled hour = Average number of contacts/conversations closed per scheduled queue hour. (Total closed ÷ Scheduled queue time)

  • Time-on-task = Percentage of time agents were on-task during the total scheduled time.

  • Occupancy = Percentage of time agents were on-task during scheduled queue time.

Navigating the page

When you land on the page, you'll need to select the team or agent whose performance you wish to view. This is to protect the privacy of others data if you're viewing this page in an office or public space.

  1. Team or agent selector: Select the team or agent whose performance you want to view.

  2. Timezone picker: Select the timezone you wish to view this page in.

  3. Date picker: Select the date you wish to view.

  4. Range: Choose if you want to view the data per day or week. Click 'today' to jump to today and view real-time data.


Team view

When viewing performance of your team you will see the overall metrics as well as individual scores and a breakdown of performance across your different channels/activities.

Team metrics

The team metrics show overall the performance of the currently select team. Team metrics show the total scores for the team rather than the average of each agent's score.

For example, team time-on-task is the total amount of time your team were on task ÷ the total scheduled time.

Agent breakdown table

The individual performance table shows the performance of each agent within the selected team.

Sorting the table

You can sort the table by the different metrics in order to identify under and over performers. To sort simply click on the on the column header you want to sort.

Filtering the table

You can also filter the table to identify agents with specific performance scores or to compare agents with similar scores.

Activity breakdown

The activity breakdown table shows the performance across your different channels/activities. You'll be able to see:

  • Scheduled time - Total time scheduled on the activity

  • Time-on-task - How much of the schedule time were agents on task

  • Opened - Number of open interactions

  • Comment - Number of comment interactions

  • On-hold - Number of on-hold interactions

  • Closed - Number of closed interactions

  • Closed per hour - Number of closes per scheduled hour

  • Closed per service hour - Number of closes per scheduled queue hour

Just like with the Individual performance table you can sort and filter the columns to identify under or over performance.

Agent view

You drill down to explore an individuals performance either via the agent breakdown table or via the team/agent selection in the header.

When looking at a single day for a agent, you can dig into the details of their time-on-task and productivity.

  1. Hero metrics : Contains the six key performance metrics for that agent.

  2. Shift timeline: A visual breakdown of the agent's schedule compared to their tracked activity in your integrated systems.

  3. Activity breakdown: Show a agent's performance across each activity.

The shift timeline

  • The scheduled row shows a simplified version of the schedule. Queue activities (i.e. activities linked to queues) are purple, any other activities are yellow and breaks are grey

  • The tracked row shows what the agent did during their shift. It's colour coded to make it easy to see when agents were on or off task. If you have more than one supported integration, you'll see a row for each one.

Tracked colours and what they mean

  • When queue activities (purple) are scheduled:

    • 🟢 Green blocks mean that the agent was doing what they were scheduled to do and were on-task

    • 🟠 Orange blocks mean that the agent was either inactive when they were meant to be working, or if you have more than 1 connection, they could be working in the wrong system.

  • When offline activities (yellow) or breaks (grey) are scheduled:

    • ⚪️ White or hashed blocks mean that the agent was inactive, which means they're on-task as we don't expect them to be working in systems at this time.

    • 🟠 Orange blocks mean that the agent was working on queues when they weren't meant to be

Viewing what agents did

  • The timeline tooltip breaks down blocks of time on contacts. Each contact is labelled with the contact ID related to the system.

  • Hover over any contact to view the estimated interaction time. This time is estimated based on the timestamp of events (e.g. a comment, or contact status change) and the average handle time (AHT) of the related queue.

  • When viewing a contact, you’ll see a list of the interactions that happened (e.g. a comment, or contact status change) and the assumed start and assumed end time. These times are estimated using either the timestamp of the first/last interaction or the average handle time. As a reminder for open events, we add AHT, as we assume this marks the time when the agent will begin working. For comments, closed or on hold events, we subtract AHT, as we assume this marks the end of the time they spent working on the contact.
