Skill Summary Widget

Required permissions: Skill Summary View

Refresh rate: Most metrics refresh in 9 minutes or less. Agent and Inqueue metrics refresh in 30 seconds or less. The following table displays approximate refresh rates for specific metrics:

The Skill Summary widget is a real-time tool that displays relevant skillClosed Used to automate delivery of interactions based on agent skills, abilities, and knowledge metrics. The widget can be customized to display all skills or just the skills that are specific to selected campaigns.

The Range setting determines how far back in history you wish to see the data. The options are to view the data for the Last 30 Minutes or view the data for the Current day starting at 12 AM (midnight), based on the time zone of your business unit.

The Interval Duration setting works with the Range setting to provide a view containing rows or layers of data. The Interval Duration setting options are 15 Minutes, 30 Minutes, and 60 Minutes. The 60 Minutes option is only available when you choose Current day starting at 12 AM for the Range setting. The Interval Duration setting is optional and is disabled by default. The widget only displays the current and past intervals. It does not displays future intervals.

For example, if the Range value is set to Last 30 Minutes and the Interval Duration is set to 15 Minutes, then the result would be three layers of data. The top layer would be a set of skills based on the current, real-time data; the next layer would be a set of skills based on data from 15 minutes ago, and the bottom layer would be a set of skills based on data from 30 minutes ago.

Because this widget contains metrics that are applicable to both real-time and historical widgets, Interval Duration view cannot display real-time metrics in past intervals. For those metrics, the widget displays the data in the most recent interval and a dash ( - ) for past intervals. The widget also displays a dash ( - ) to represent that no data exists for the metric.

You must choose one method of filtering skills. If you select any combination of Skills, Campaign, and Media, the widget displays skills from the favored method. Skills trump Campaigns and Media, and Campaigns trump Media.

Thresholds

You can configure thresholds for some metrics. When a threshold is set for a specific range or time, the skill box for that metric changes color when the value exceeds those parameters.

In managing a team of agents for The Jungle, a subsidiary of Classics, Inc., Jim notices that a lot of abandoned calls. He wants to see if they are associated with specific skills. He opens Dashboard to look at his Skill Summary widget. Jim sets the Abandon Count threshold from 10 to 99999. This means that if a particular skill goes above nine abandons, the skill box turns orange.

There are three ways to set thresholds for metrics:

  • To From: Displays an alert when the metric count is above a certain number. The range is from 1 to 99999.

  • Slider: Displays an orange alert when the metric goes above the first slider value and a red alert when the metric goes above the second slider value. The range is 0 to 100.

  • Time Range: Displays an alert when the metric goes beyond the specified time. The range is 0 days and 00:00:00 minutes to 10 days and 23:45:00.

This feature is configurable at a user level and threshold settings can't be shared between users.
