Monitoring Chat Queues

You can now monitor chat queues of agents in real time, including the status of chat threads and any ongoing chats, for the current day. To facilitate this enhancement, the Chat tab is added to the monitor dashboard.

The Chat tab contains the following data for the current day:

• Available Agents: Count of agents who are ready to respond to chat threads. That is, agents who are in the Ready state, for whom the chat channel is enabled, and who are logged on to a Service for which the chat channel is configured. 
  

  If the Chat Routing Token field of a Service contains a value, the chat channel is configured for the Service.

• Chats In Queue: Count of incoming chat sessions that are waiting to be connected to an agent.
  

  This count includes any chat session that has hit the Contact Flow (IVR) and is waiting to be connected to an agent; the chat thread may include any bot interactions from the bot module or the Contact Flow.

• Chats With Agent: Count of active (unresolved) chat threads in the agents' inboxes
• Total Chats: Count of all chat sessions initiated by your customers
• Average Chat Wait Time: The average time that the customers wait before their chat sessions are connected to an agent.

• Average Resolution Time: The average time that the resolution of chat threads takes. 
  

  • Resolution time is the difference between the time that a chat session initiated by a customer connects to an agent and the time that the agent ends the session by marking the thread resolved or by dispositioning it.
  • Even if a customer has left a chat session, the thread is considered unresolved until the agent ends the session.

• In addition, the tab contains the Chat Monitor table, which displays information about active chat threads. The table contains the following columns:

  • Profile: Contains an icon to view the contact information about the customer who initiated the chat session in the Contact Details window if their Contact record exists.
  • Thread: Contains an icon to view the entire thread in the Chat Detail window.

  • Queue: The token (department) to which the thread routes.
    

    A department enables a chat thread to be linked to the appropriate Service.

  • Thread Status: Contains the current status of the thread, which is one of the following values:

    • In Queue: Indicates that the chat session is waiting to be connected to an agent.
      

    • With Agent: Indicates that the chat session is connected to an agent and the agent is yet to resolve the thread. That is, the thread is in the agent's inbox.
      

      If the agent to whom a chat session is connected logs out, the thread is no longer considered to be with the agent.

  • Agent: Contains the name of the agent if the value in the corresponding Thread Status column is With Agent.
    

  • Duration: The duration for which the thread has been active.
