Understanding the Contact Center Report

Last updated

The Contact Center Report gives you a historical view of your team's call activity and performance. It helps you monitor inbound and outbound call trends, agent performance, and queue behavior — all in one place.

Note: You must have the View Contact Center Report permission enabled in your role to access this dashboard.

Overview

The Reports page shows you how your contact center is performing. It is split into two rows of tiles:

How Calls Are Classified

Every call that reaches lands in exactly one of four buckets. Understanding this helps you read the numbers correctly.

Call Type What it means
Inbound A customer called your number. Includes answered, missed, declined, abandoned, outside-hours, and queue-full calls. Voicemails and callback requests are counted separately.
Outbound An agent proactively dialled a customer. Callback return calls are not included here — they are tracked separately.
Callback Request A customer was in the queue, chose to request a callback instead of waiting, and hung up. The return call the agent makes later is tracked as a callback fulfillment — not an outbound call.
Voicemail A customer left a voicemail message. Only counted when a recording was actually left. If the customer hung up before the beep, it counts as an inbound call instead.

Important: These four buckets do not overlap. Every call event is counted exactly once across the volume tiles.

Overview Metrics

These high-level metrics give you a quick snapshot of your contact center’s activity:

Quick Reference

 

 

Metric What it is? If the number is high...
Total Calls How busy was the contact center Check if staffing matches demand
Total Inbound How many customers tried to reach you Check what percentage were actually answered
Total Outbound How much proactive outreach agents did Good if intentional; investigate if unexpected
Total Callback Requests How many customers opted out of waiting May indicate queue wait times are too long
Total Voicemail How many customers left a message Normal after hours; investigate during business hours
Call Completion Rate What % of calls actually connected Good. Low rate = staffing or routing problem
Callback Completion Rate Are callbacks being honoured Good. Low rate = callbacks not being fulfilled
Avg Queue Wait How long customers waited on average Customers are waiting too long — review staffing or routing
Avg Call Duration Total time per connected customer Check whether queue wait or talk time is the cause
Avg Hold Time How long agents put customers on hold Agents may need better knowledge tools or training
Inbound Acceptance Rate What % of inbound calls were picked up by an agent Good. Low rate = calls are being missed or declined by the team
Callback Attempted Rate HWhat % of callback requests had a return call made Good. Low rate = agents are not following through on callbacks
Agent Response Rate What % of inbound and callback calls an agent responded to Good. Low rate = agents are not responding to calls coming their way
Callback Fulfilment Rate What % of callback requests resulted in a successful two-way connection Good. Low rate = callbacks are being attempted but customers are not answering, or agents are not attempting at all

Agent-wise Inbound Call Summary

This table breaks down each agent's performance for inbound calls:

Metrics Description
Calls Offered Number of inbound calls routed to the agent.
Accepted Calls picked up by the agent.
Declined Calls explicitly declined by the agent.
Not Answered Calls that were not accepted or declined within the allowed answer time.
Acceptance Rate Percentage of offered calls that were accepted.

Agent-wise Outbound Call Summary

This table shows the total outbound calls made by each agent:

Metrics Description
Outbound Calls Total outbound calls initiated by the agent.

Inbound Call Deep Dive

This section breaks down all inbound call outcomes to help you understand how and where calls are being missed or completed.

Completed

Inbound calls successfully connected and handled by agents.

Missed

Calls that were not connected. These are categorized further:

Abandoned

Calls where the customer hung up before reaching an agent. Sub-categories include:

Note: The Missed and Abandoned sections are collapsed by default. Expand these sections to view their detailed sub-statuses.

 

Outbound Call Deep Dive

This section provides a detailed breakdown of outbound call outcomes:

 

Calls by Queue Wait Time

 

This chart breaks down answered inbound calls by how long the caller waited in the queue before connecting to an agent. Only answered inbound calls are included — outbound calls, missed calls, abandoned calls, callback and voicemails are excluded.


Calls are grouped into the following wait time buckets:

 

Each bucket shows the number of calls alongside its percentage of total answered inbound calls for the selected period. Use this chart to understand where most of your callers are landing and identify whether wait times are within an acceptable range.
