Introduction Nortel Reporting for Contact Center is a browser-based Real Time information and Historical Reporting tool for the Nortel Contact Center. Nortel Reporting for Contact Center provides:

� Real Time windows showing current Contact Center activity for calls and for agents � Real Time information through hardware and software IP-enabled wallboards � A comprehensive Historical Reporting package

!In this document, the phrase the Contact Center platform is used to refer to either the Business Communications Manager or the CallPilot hardware, and the phrase the Contact Center is used to refer to the Contact Center application running on that platform. The platforms are referenced specifically by name only in areas of this document that describe the installation of the Contact Center Reporting application software (on pages 13, 14, 17, 18, and 19), and the information concerning the configuration of the Contact Center Connection page (page 42).

Web-Based User Interface

All the administrative and user interactions with Nortel Reporting for Contact Center are conducted through a series of Web pages that are accessed through Internet Explorer browser sessions. The Web pages are hosted on a designated PC, referred to as the Web Host PC, on which the Nortel Reporting for Contact Center software is installed. The Web Host PC communicates directly with the Contact Center to retrieve Real Time updates (for the Real Time screens and wallboards) and Historical information (for the reports). Other PCs that have network access to the Web Host PC can access these Web pages. Multiple users can, therefore, use Nortel Reporting for Contact Center without having any software other than Internet Explorer installed on their PCs. (The Java runtime environment, if required, and the Crystal Reports ActiveX report viewer are automatically downloaded to the client the first time they are required.)

Language Support

Each Administrator or User of Nortel Reporting for Contact Center can specify to view their Web user interface pages in one of the following 13 languages: North American English, United Kingdom English, Canadian French, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish.

Introduction


4

Each Administrator or User can also view individual wallboards in any of these languages.

Administrators and Users

The two types of Nortel Reporting for Contact Center users are Administrators and Users. In addition to having access to all the features of Nortel Reporting for Contact Center, Administrators can specify and change fundamental configuration settings within Nortel Reporting for Contact Center. For security purposes and to maintain system stability, only Users with Administrator capabilities can change the fundamental configuration settings. User interactions with Nortel Reporting for Contact Center are limited to using the features that it provides. While Users cannot modify the core setup of Nortel Reporting for Contact Center, they can specify and change some personal preferences. Users can also configure any aspects of Nortel Reporting for Contact Center that affect only themselves. Administrators and Users view different menus when they log in.

Assigned Skillsets

Administrators create Users by providing details, such as User Name and language, to Nortel Reporting for Contact Center. The Administrator must then assign Skillsets to Users. The process of assigning Skillsets defines the Skillsets that each User can view in the Real Time screens and for which the User can request Historical Reports. Skillsets can be assigned to more than one User. Users can choose to view the Real Time screens or Historical Reports for any of the Skillsets assigned to them, any combination of the allocated Skillsets, or all the assigned Skillsets. Users, including the Administrator, can save frequently used Selections of Skillsets as Favorites and assign names to the Favorites. The User can then, with a single mouse click, quickly locate a Skillset selection. Favorites are unique to each User. Users can create, modify, or delete their Favorites without affecting the Favorites of other Users.

SQL Historical Database

Historical Report information is stored in a standard MySQL database. If Users have reporting requirements that are not available through Nortel Reporting for Contact Center, they can analyze the data using third-party reporting packages.

Introduction 5


System Software

The software that sends data to Nortel Reporting for Contact Center is integral to the Nortel Contact Center. Nortel Reporting for Contact Center software on the Web Host PC communicates directly with the Contact Center to request Contact Center Historical Report statistical data and Real Time data. Users on other PCs can access the Real Time and Historical Report data by pointing their Internet browsers to the Nortel Reporting for Contact Center Web pages on the Web Host PC. Only the Web Host PC needs to communicate with the Contact Center.

!One PC on your network should be designated as the Web Host PC. Install the Nortel Reporting for Contact Center application software onto the designated PC only. All other network PCs from which Users access the Real Time screens, Historical Reports, or the Nortel Reporting for Contact Center user interface must be equipped with Internet Explorer. No other software is required on these PCs.

PC Requirements

The minimum requirements of the PC designated as the Nortel Reporting for Contact Center Web Host PC are as follows:

Minimum PC Specifications IBM™ Compatible PC MicroprocessorIntel® PentiumTM IV (or equivalent) minimum Microprocessor Speed1.7 GHz minimum Memory512 MB minimum Network Interface Card TCP/IP protocol SVGA display Mouse (or other Windows®-compatible pointing device) Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5 or higher

If you successfully entered the new password, the Contact Center Connection page shown in Figure 37: Contact Center Connection Page appears.

Contact Center Connection The Contact Center Connection page allows you to specify the network identifier (IP address or Network name) of the Contact Center platform. Typically, the Contact Center Connection page appears only once, after you first log on as an Administrator. If the Contact Center Connection information is incomplete or incorrect, the Contact Center Connection page appears each time you log on as an Administrator. For example, if you add a new Network Card to the Web Host PC, you must select an IP address for the Web Host PC to communicate with the wallboards. In this case, the Contact Center Connection page appears so that you can select the IP address. If you do not select the Contact Center Connection option from the menu, the page automatically appears after you log on, as shown in Figure 37: Contact Center Connection Page. Follow the steps in this section to configure the Contact Center Connection page.

Contact Center platform. If you do not know what information to enter, consult the Local Area Network Administrator for your site.

2. Do not enter any information in the Port field if you are connecting to a Business Manager Commuications system as this will be defaulted automatically to the correct port.

3. When Nortel Reporting for Contact Center communicates with the Contact Center to request

Real Time or Historical Report data, it includes a password in the data request. This allows the Contact Center to verify that the application requesting the data is authorized to receive it.

This password is set within the Contact Center using CallPilot Manager. In the CCRS password field, enter the set password.

Administration


44

Note: The default CCRS password is CCRS. If the default password is not accepted the password might have been changed in the Contact Center from within CallPilot Manager.

4. In the Confirm CCRS password field, re-enter the set password.

5. The Connection Security option allows you to specify whether you are connecting to the Contact Center using SSL (also known as HTTPS). By default, this option is selected. If it is changed on the Contact Center platform to Non SSL or standard HTTP, you must also change this setting. Go to step 6. Otherwise, go to step 7.

Note: This is an advanced setting that is not usually changed from the default. If Use SSL is selected, do not change it.

6. If you change the Connection Security setting, a message informing you that you must reboot your Web Host PC in order for the settings to take effect appears. See Figure 38: Connection Security Setting Changed Reboot Message.

Figure 38: Connection Security Setting Changed Reboot Message

You must reboot the Web Host PC before these changes take effect. Click OK.and reboot your PC.

7. In the Make data requests every list, specify how frequently the Web Host PC

communicates with the Contact Center in order to obtain reporting data. The typical setting is 15 minutes.

8. In the Select An IP Address list, select the IP address (Network Interface Card) with which

you wish to communicate with the wallboards. If the Web Host PC has more than one IP Address (because it has more than one Network Interface Card configured) the list is populated with the IP addresses configured for the Web Host PC. Select which Network Interface Card to use for communication with the wallboards. The Network Interface Cards are identified in the list by their configured IP Addresses.

Select the IP Address that is configured on the Network Interface Card connected to the same network as the wallboards. Note that this IP Address is not the IP Address of the wallboard. This address is the IP Address configured for the Network Interface Card in the Web Host PC.

Administration 45


!If you add a new Network Interface Card or other network device, such as a USB Bluetooth device, or if you enable a disabled Network Interface Card, then you must reboot your Web Host PC so that the new device is detected and presented in the Select An IP Address list.

9. From the Wallboard and Refresh Real Time Interval list, select your refresh interval for the Wallboard and Realtime displays. The two available options are 1 second (default) and 3 seconds.

!This setting applies only to the refresh rate of the display. Wallboard and Real Time information is always calculated to the second. If, for example, you select 3 seconds as your refresh interval, your display updates every 3 seconds but your data is calculated to the second.

10. Click Submit. A download status field appears to display the progress of the Contact Center download. See Figure 39: Download Status .

Figure 39: Download Status Field

The RCC Database Update Complete field indicates the percentage of download completion. When Reporting for Contact Center is installed, it queries the Contact Center for any Contact Center data that the Contact Center has accumulated.

Time is the time in hours, minutes, and seconds that the current download has been running. This data is updated every 9-10 seconds.

The oldest data in the Contact Center database defines the start point of the download, and the date of ‘today’ defines the end point of the download. The download must request data from the Contact Center for each day within the download period. The RCC Database Update Complete field indicates how far through the download period the download process is in terms of time, not in terms of calls.

For example, if the percentage completed figure is 50% and the Calls Extracted from Received Data is 125, this does not mean the download will be complete when the Calls Extracted from Received Data reaches 250. Rather, it means that the download has processed 50% of the download period and has extracted 125 calls.

Total Contact Center Calls in the Database indicates the total amount of calls stored in the Web Host PC database, which includes the Calls Extracted from Received Data figure.

Administration


46

Note:The time to download the historical data from the Contact Center and to store it in the Web Host PC database depends on the amount of time the Contact Center has been recording historical data prior to being connected to the Web Host PC and the amount of call traffic that your Contact Center handles.

As a general guide, 30,000 calls take between 6 and 18 hours, depending on the level of network traffic and the speed of your Web Host PC.

Note: You can use your PC as normal during the download, but do not reset it or power it off.

When the download is complete, the download status field shows a 100% complete status.

Your browser page may time out before the download is complete. This is not an error. Microsoft Internet Information Services has a setting that dictates how long it waits before closing a web page. As the download completes, you are informed of the status in the Download Statusfield. The Administration Menu, described in Administration Menu, appears.

Time Bins Setup

The Time Bins option allows you to specify the settings for the Answer and Abandon Time Bins for the Skillsets that are assigned to you. Answer and Abandon Time Bins are collectively known as the Time Bins.

Answer Time Bins The Answered Time Bins are a series of six time steps used in the statistical analysis of Answered Calls. Nortel Reporting for Contact Center provides statistical reports on the percentage of incoming calls answered within each of the periods specified in the chosen Answered Time Bins. A seventh Answer period is also used in the reports. The seventh period gathers information about all calls that are answered after the period specified by the sixth Answered Time Bin.

Abandon Time Bins The Abandon Time Bins are a series of six time steps used in the statistical analysis of Abandoned Calls. Nortel Reporting for Contact Center provides statistical reports about the percentage of incoming calls abandoned within each of the periods specified in the chosen Abandoned Time Bins. A seventh Abandoned period is also used in the reports.The seventh period gathers information about all calls that are abandoned after the period specified by the sixth Abandoned Time Bin.

Note: If other Users have been assigned these Skillsets, they can change these settings.

Select the Time Bins Setup option to view the Time Bin Setup page, shown in Figure 59: Time Bin Setup Skillset selection page.

define the periods into which you wish to have calls that are Answered or Abandoned in these Skillsets categorized.

The steps in the Time Bin periods need not be the same, but you must set the Time Bin periods in ascending order.

For example, if you want to have Nortel Reporting for Contact Center report on Answered calls, grouping together the calls that were answered within 10 seconds, the calls that were answered between 10 and 20 seconds, the calls that were answered between 20 and 30 seconds, the calls that were answered between 30 and 40 seconds, the calls that were answered between 40 and 50 seconds, the calls that were answered between 50 seconds and one minute, you would set the Time Bins as 00:10, 00:20, 00:30, 00:40, 00:50, and 01:00.



74

Note that Nortel Reporting for Contact Center also includes a category for anything greater than the last time period, which in this example would be ‘anything answered after 01:00’.

Using the Real Time Options Follow the steps in this section to use the Real Time options. 1. To select the Real Time screens you want to view, select a real time screen name. • For information about using Skillset selection lists, see page 80. • For information about using Favorites, see page 81. 2. Click Submit to view your Real Time selections in a new window. To reset your selections,

click Cancel at any time.

Note: If a Client PC does not have Java installed, on launching more than one Real Time screen, Java will try to be installed that many times on the Client PC.

It is recommended that the first time the User on a Client PC views a Real Time screen, only one Real Time screen is launched (if the User is not sure that Java is installed on their PC). This is to prevent multiple Java installations taking place on the Client PC.

The following sections describe the available Real Time screens. Real Time Call Summary Figure 83: Real Time Call Summary Real Time Screens shows the Call Summary Real Time screen.

Figure 83: Real Time Call Summary Real Time Screens

The information in the Call Summary screen updates as call activity changes in your Contact Center. Each row in each screen represents a single Skillset. The Skillsets that you see are the skillsets you selected on the Real Time page shown in Figure 82: Real Time Page. The summary provides information about calls that are in the Skillset queues waiting to be answered, together with some statistics regarding calls that are completed. These statistics update in real time.



The following sections describe the available information for each of the selected Skillsets.

Waiting

Indicates the number of calls that are currently waiting in the Skillset queues to be answered.

Delayed

Indicates the number of calls that are currently in a delayed state, that is, have reached the contact center but have not been forwarded to a skillset.

Primary Alert

Indicates the number of currently waiting Calls that have waited in excess of the Contact Center Primary Alert. (Note that this is mutually exclusive with the Secondary Alert). If any calls have waited in excess of the Primary Alert, the background to this cell changes to yellow.

Secondary Alert

Indicates the number of currently waiting Calls that have waited in excess of the Contact Center Secondary Alert. (Note that this is mutually exclusive with the Primary Alert). If any calls have waited in excess of the Secondary Alert, the background to this cell changes to red.

Overflow

Indicates the number of currently waiting Calls that have waited in excess of the Contact Center Overflow Threshold. Note that this does not mean the call has overflowed, but the Contact Center is actively looking through the overflow rules that have been defined for this Skillset to find a means of answering the call. That is, this call is liable to overflow shortly. If any calls have waited in excess of the Overflow Threshold, the background to this cell changes to red. Note that if a call had passed the overflow threshold in one Skillset and was then moved to another Skillset due to the call routing that wasconfigured, the call appears in the new Skillset; the cell background will be red because this call has already passed the overflow threshold of its original Skillset.

Abandoned Hour / Day

Indicates the number of calls that were abandoned in the Skillsets, in the current hour and in the current day.

Answered Hour / Day

Indicates the number of calls that were answered by the Agents in the Skillsets, in the current hour and in the current day.

Disconnected Hour / Day

Indicates the number of calls that were disconnected by the call center in the current hour and in the current day.

Longest Waiting Time



112

Indicates the waiting time of the call that has waited the longest, of the list of currently waiting calls.

Unread Skillset Messages

Indicates the number of voice mail messages in the Skillset Mailbox which have not be listened to. If any messages have not been listened to, the cell background is red.

GOS

Indicates the grade of service currently offered to incoming callers.

Skillset Mode

Indicates whether the mode of operation of the Skillset.

Grade of Service

The first row in the Call Summary Real Time screen is labeled Grouping. This row shows values generated from the data presented for each of the included skillsets. Note that the values might not include all the skillsets in the System because the User viewing the Call Summary screen might not be assigned all the skillsets, or they may be viewing only a selection of their assigned skillsets.

The Grade of Service figure in the Grouping row is a means average of the GOS values of the skillset rows displayed below the Grouping row.

For example, three skillsets are in the view, and they had the following individual skillset values:

Skill 1 GOS = 0%

Skill 2 GOS = 100%

Skill 3 GOS = 100%

The Grouping row shows a GOS of 66%, calculated as follows:

GOS = (0 + 100 + 100) / 3 = 66%

This value shows the User what their average GOS is over all the selected skillsets. This figure is different from the GOS for the System (which includes all the skillsets). The System GOS is not calculated as an average for the skillsets; it is calculated as a single figure GOS for the System.

This is the calculation that is used in the System wallboard parameters SH and SD and in the Call Detail real time. In the Call Detail real time screens and in the System SH and SD wallboard fields, the GOS is calculated using the following formula. (This formula is also described in the Glossary.)

Presented = Total Number of Direct Call transactions Presented to the Skillset(s)

Abandoned = Calls which Abandoned



>Secondary = Calls transactions answered after the Secondary Alert has elapsed

G of S% = Presented - Abandoned – >Secondary x 100 Presented

Real Time Agent Summary Figure 84: Real Time Agent Summary Real Time Screen shows the Agent Summary Real Time screen.

Figure 84: Real Time Agent Summary Real Time Screen

The information shown in the Agent Summary screen updates as Agent activity changes in your Contact Center. Each row in each screen represents a single Skillset. The Skillsets that you see are the skillsets you selected on the Real Time page shown in Figure 82: Real Time Page.). This Real Time screen indicates the numbers and states (current activities) of the logged-in Agents, for each of the selected Skillsets. Note that the state of an Agent who has multiple calls on their handset is taken from their active call. For example, if an Agent has an Incoming Contact Center Call on hold and they are active on an Outgoing Call, then the Agent is shown to be in the Outgoing Call state. The following sections describe the available information.

Indicates the number of Agents who are currently handling Incoming Contact Center Calls.

Break Time

Indicates the number of Agents who are in Break Time following clear down of an Incoming Contact Center Call.

Indicates the number of Agents who are currently on Outgoing Calls.

On Internal Calls

Indicates the number of Agents who have placed or answered internal (intercom) calls.

With All Calls Held

Note that this does not mean the call has overflowed, but the Contact Center is actively looking through the overflow rules that were defined for this Skillset to find a means of answering the call. That is, this call is likely to overflow shortly. If any calls have waited in excess of the Overflow Threshold, the background to this cell changes to red. Note that if a call had passed the overflow threshold in one Skillset and was then moved to another Skillset due to the call routing that wasconfigured, the call appears in the new Skillset and the cell background isred because this call has already passed the overflow threshold of the original Skillset.

Abandoned Hour/Day

Wallboard Setup



124

If your supervisor has assigned you the rights to the Wallboard Setup option (see Add Users), you can use the Wallboards option to assign wallboards to your assigned Skillsets. You can also configure the wallboards with features such as wallboard alarms and messages, schedules, and summaries. If your Adminstrator has not assigned you the rights to assign wallboards, the Wallboard Setup option is unavailable on the user Main Menu Page. See Figure 58: User Main Menu Page. Nortel Reporting for Contact Center can support both hardware and software IP-enabled wallboards. The wallboards that are supported are the ipView Wallboards (hardware tri-color wallboards) and the ipView SoftBoard (software-based personal wallboard). They are updated approximately every 1 (default) or 3 seconds depending on the settings in the Contact Center Connection page, Page 42.

Message Formats

The information sent to the wallboards is in one of three different formats: Parameter Messages, Scrolling Messages, or Summary Messages. The following sections describe these message formats.

Parameter Messages

Parameter Messages are the regular display messages sent to the wallboard.

Parameter Messages show six statistical parameters, each of which appears beside a two-letter mnemonic abbreviation. (If the wallboard is configured to have a title, then only three parameters can be displayed.)

The following parameters are available for display on the wallboards:

ID Number of Incoming calls received in the current Day IH Number of Incoming calls received in the current Hour AD Number of Abandoned calls in the current Day AH Number of Abandoned calls in the current Hour OD Number of Outgoing calls made in the current Day OH Number of Outgoing calls made in the current Hour SD Grade of Service offered in the current Day (%) SH Grade of Service offered in the current Hour (%) AO Number of Agents on Outgoing calls AI Number of Agents on Incoming calls AA Number of Agents Available to receive calls AN Number of Agents in the Not Ready state AL Number of Agents Logged in QL Current Queue Length - number of calls queuing for this Skillset QT Current Queue Time for the longest waiting Call for this Skillset (secs.)

On the wallboards, the numerical values are displayed in yellow, and the abbreviations are displayed in green.



If one of the parameter values has an associated Alarm threshold configured for it, it appears in red when the threshold is broached. An audible alert for alarms is optional, see Page 130. Scrolling Messages

The wallboards also support Scrolling Messages (also known as rolling messages). Scrolling Messages are either manually dispatched messages, Alarm messages, or Scheduled messages.

Scrolling messages move from right to left across the wallboard until the whole message has been displayed at least two times. An audible alert for scrolling messages is optional.

Note: On the ipView SoftBoards, the scrolling messages do not scroll; they are displayed in their entirety in a window, for the duration that it would take for that message to scroll at least two times on the hardware wallboard. Also note that the numerical parameter display is removed from ipView SoftBoards for the duration of the message display.

Note: The User must ensure that spaces are placed at the end of each word when creating messages for the ipView SoftBoard, otherwise the full message can not display the full message if it is a long string of characters without any spaces.

Scrolling message are displayed on the wallboards under the following three circumstances:

� A Contact Center statistic has entered an Alarm state (generating an Alarm message).

� A predefined time has arrived (generating a scheduled message). � A User has generated and dispatched a message (Instant [manual] message).

Nortel Reporting for Contact Center can be configured to provide an audible alert for any of these scrolling messages.

A scrolling message can be up to 64 characters in length and can contain parameter values that are automatically replaced by the numerical equivalent when they are displayed.

For example, if a message contained the text:

There are (QL) calls waiting… and the Contact Center statistic QL currently has a value of 4, the following message would be displayed:

There are 4 calls waiting…

Alarm Messages

Nortel Reporting for Contact Center can be configured to automatically provide a scrolling text message when a parameter enters an Alarm condition by passing a defined Alarm Threshold.

A profile of six different Alarm Thresholds can be set across a day, for a single Alarm.

For example, a 24-hour Contact Center that has 25 Agents active during the day might have an Alarm Message set to be triggered if 6 Agents are Not Ready concurrently. At Night, however,



126

the Contact Center has a staff of 4 Agents, and they want to have the same Alarm Message triggered when only 2 Agents make themselves Not ready.

Alarm messages scroll at least twice on the wallboards. If the alarm is still valid when the message has scrolled at least twice, the normal numerical display is shown for 5 seconds before the alarm message is re-scrolled.

If several alarms are triggered at once they are scrolled to the wallboard as follows.

1. Assume three alarms are triggered concurrently. The first alarm message is scrolled at least twice, then the normal numerical display is shown for 5 seconds. The second alarm message is then scrolled at least twice, and the normal numerical display is shown again for 5 seconds.

2. If the third alarm is still valid, then the third alarm message is scrolled at least twice and the display then returns to the usual numerical display for 5 seconds.

3. If the first alarm is valid, it is scrolled again. If it is not valid, then the second alarm is checked to see whether it is valid. If the second alarm is valid, it is scrolled again.

4. If it is not valid, then the third alarm is checked to see whether it is valid. In this way, all alarms are rotated and displayed with a numerical display of 5 seconds in between them.

Scheduled Messages

Wallboard Messages that need to go out at the same time every day or on a particular day can be associated with a schedule.

For example, weekly fire alarm tests or a start of shift greeting or an end of shift message could be configured so that they automatically trigger at the specified time.

Schedules can be configured to trigger on single days, groups of days, or every day.

Scheduled messages take priority over Alarm messages.

Instant Messages

System Administrators or Users can manually enter and dispatch an Instant Message to the wallboards. Instant messages take priority over Alarm messages. Summary Messages

Nortel Reporting for Contact Center can be configured to provide predefined hourly summaries on the wallboards. Summaries can be configured to have an audible alert.

The values displayed in the summary messages are as follows:

� Incoming Calls for previous Hour and Day so far

� Outgoing Calls for previous Hour and Day so far

� Answered Calls for previous Hour and Day so far

� Grade of Service for previous Hour and Day so far

Using the Wallboard Options



To use the Wallboard Options, select Wallboard Setup from the User Main Menu page (see Figure 58: User Main Menu Page). The Wallboard Menu page shown in Figure 90: Wallboard Menu Page appears.

Figure 90: Wallboard Menu Page

The Wallboard Setup options are as follows: � Wallboard Assignment � Messages � Alarms � Schedules � Instant Messages The following sections describe the Wallboard Setup options. Wallboard Assignment Page



128

Select the Wallboard Setup Wallboard Assignment option to view the Wallboard Assignment page shown in Figure 91: Wallboard Assignment Page. This page displays a list of the configured wallboards. It displays the configured wallboards for each of the Skillsets you are assigned and any Skillsets that are configured as System wallboards.

Figure 91: Wallboard Assignment Page

You can delete wallboards or edit their settings. In the example shown in Figure 91: Wallboard Assignment Page, no wallboards are assigned to the selected Skillsets (in this example, System wallboards and wallboards for Skillsets 1, 2, and 3). In the example, User Mary Smith can only Add wallboards. Follow these steps to add a wallboard.



1. Click Add to assign wallboards. The Add Wallboard page shown in Figure 92: Add Wallboard Page appears.

Figure 92: Add Wallboard Page

2. In the IP/Network Name field, enter the IP Address or Network Name. (If the wallboard is

an ipView SoftBoard, enter the IP Address or the Network Name of the PC on which the SoftBoard will be running.)

3. The value in the Port is usually left at the default value of 3500. This value might be

changed for an ipView SoftBoard if an Agent wishes to have several copies of ipView SoftBoard running on the same PC to, for example, display different Skillset statistics to a multi-Skillset Agent. Each copy of ipView SoftBoard would be installed on the Agent’s PC with a different Port number. In that case, the corresponding wallboard entry in Nortel Reporting for Contact Center must be configured with the appropriate port number.



130

4. The Wallboard Skillset selection specifies the Skillset the wallboard is to report on. That is, the named Skillset is the Skillset from which Nortel Reporting for Contact Center extracts the statistical information to display on the wallboard. If you wish to display system-wide totals (that is, to have the information displayed represent totals derived from all Skillsets) select System from the list. In other words, assigning a wallboard to be a System wallboard causes Nortel Reporting for Contact Center to send statistics to that wallboard which represent the system totals. For example, the parameter AN (agents not ready) on a System wallboard shows the total figure for the AN values of all Skillsets added together.

Notice that the only Skillsets available in this list are the ones that our example User Mary Smith was assigned by the Administrator.

5. In the Language list, select the language in which wallboard should be driven. Individual

wallboards can be driven in any of the supported languages that appear in the list. 6. Select a Type option (Hardware or Software) to indicate whether the wallboard is a hardware

wallboard or a software SoftBoard. Any of the available parameters can be used on either the hardware or the software wallboards.

The parameter spacing on the hardware wallboard allows for the display of two 3-digit and one 4-digit parameter per line, giving six parameters in total. The two parameters at the right hand end of the wallboard can display up to 4 digits at a time. Those parameters that are able to reach 4 digits cannot be configured for the positions that can display only 3 digits. See Wallboard Parameters.

7. Select Title if the wallboard is to be configured with a title. A title is a string of text up to 16

characters in length, which is displayed on the top line of a hardware wallboard and above the parameter list on a SoftBoard. In both cases, the title reduces the number of parameters that can be displayed by the wallboard to 3.

8. If you selected Title in the previous step, enter the title in the Title Text field. 9. Select Buzzer if you want the wallboard to emit a short buzzing sound when a Summary

Message or a Scrolling message is sent to it. If Buzzer is selected, you will also hear a buzzing sound when a parameter goes into alarm even if no Alarm Message is associated with the alarm (a static alarm).

10. Select Summary to send Hourly Summaries to the wallboard when each hour passes and

when the Skillset enters Out Mode (that is, there are no Agents Logged In to the Skillset). 11. To save the changes, click Submit. The Wallboard Setup page appears.

The list of available parameters is shown on Page 130. Select the parameters from the lists on the page.

Note: If the wallboard for which you are specifying parameters is a hardware wallboard, some parameters appear only in positions 3 and 6. The lists for positions 1, 2, 4, and 5 do not show those parameters because the parameters that are restricted to positions 3 and 6 are capable of displaying up to 4 digits. Positions 3 and 6 on the hardware wallboard are larger than positions 1, 2, 4, and 5. Any parameter can occupy any position on a software wallboard.

The Assigned Alarms list is empty initially.



140

To create an Alarm, click Add. The Add Alarm page shown in Figure 101: Add Alarm Page appears.

Figure 101: Add Alarm Page

Follow these steps to specify an alarm: 1. In the Wallboard Skillset list, select a skillset that is specific to the alarm.

Note: When you assign an Alarm, the alarm is specific to a particular Skillset (or the System, if you select the System list item). An Alarm Message can be used by many Skillsets, but an Alarm is specific to a single Skillset.

2. In the Parameter name list, select the alarm parameter that triggers the alarm. Refer to the

list of available parameters on Page 130.



Note: You can specify the same alarm conditions for different Skillsets, and these different alarms can use the same Alarm message, but they are separate and distinct alarms, and they must be created separately.

Note: If you configure an Alarm to be a System Alarm, that Alarm appears on all wallboards that have been configured as System wallboards. You can specify the same alarm conditions for different Skillsets, and these different alarms can use the same Alarm message, but they are separate and distinct alarms, and they operate independently, with no interaction.

3. In the Period Start Time list, specify the start time for the period of the day in which the

Alarm is operational. For more information, refer to Alarm Periods.

Note: Alarm Periods allow you to specify different Thresholds, Comparisons, and Messages for different periods of the day, for a single Alarm. An Alarm period is in operation after its start time has passed and before the start time of the next period has been reached.

You can specify different Alarm conditions for a single Alarm for up to six Alarm Periods throughout a single day. To define an Alarm Period, specify the start time for that period.

If only one Alarm Period is configured, that Alarm Period is in operation 24 hours a day.

4. In the Comparison list, select the type of comparison that determines if the alarm condition is triggered. The types of comparisons are as follows:

<= Less than or equal to. Use this type of comparison to monitor a parameter against some

lower limit. That is, you wish to be informed if the parameter value ever drops to or decreases below the Threshold you supply. For example if you wish an alarm to be triggered if the Grade of Service for the Current Hour (SH) falls below 50, you would use SH <= 50.

= Equals. Use this type of comparison to monitor a parameter against an exact figure. That is, you wish to be informed if the parameter value ever exactly matches a figure, perhaps a target. Note that in this type of comparison, if the parameter value is higher than the threshold, the alarm condition is not triggered. The parameter must exactly match the threshold in order to trigger the alarm. For example, you may wish to have a congratulatory message sent to the wallboards if you exceed your highest number of incoming calls for the day. If your highest number of incoming calls for the day was 1200, you could set an Alarm for the parameter ID. However, if you use >= , the Alarm would be triggered for each and every call from 1200 on. Instead, you would use the format ID = 1201. This means that the alarm message will be sent only when the number



142

of incoming calls in the day equals 1201 (one higher than your previous highest total). This avoids the message being repeatedly sent as calls continue to come in and the ID figure rise. (At the end of that day, you would then note your n highest ID figure and edit the Alarm to reflect your new record Incoming Calls in the Day total.)

>= Greater than or equals to. Use this type of comparison to monitor a parameter against some upper limit. That is, you wish to be informed if the parameter value ever meets the Threshold you supply. For example, if you wish an alarm to be triggered if the number of Agents who have made themselves Not Ready rises above 4, you would use AN >= 4.

5. In the Threshold field, enter a numerical threshold against which the parameter value is

compared. Nortel Reporting for Contact Center automatically understands whether the figure you supply represents:

� Agents (for parameters such as AN and AO) � Calls (for parameters such as ID and OD) � Seconds (for parameters such as QT) � Percentages (for parameters such as SD)

6. In the Message list, select the message that is sent when the alarm is triggered.

Note: A Static Alarm does not have an alarm message. In the case of a Static Alarm, the parameter value is displayed in flashing red on the wallboard. For this type of Alarm to be effective, the parameter must be one of the parameters you chose to have displayed on your wallboard (see Parameters Button on Page 132). To specify a Static Alarm, select No Message from the Message list.

Alarm Periods

You can specify different Alarm conditions for a single Alarm for up to six Alarm Periods throughout a single day. You define the Alarm Periods by specifying start times for each period. Alarm Periods allow you to specify different Thresholds, Comparisons, and Messages for different periods of the day, for a single Alarm. An Alarm period is in operation when its start time has passed and before the start time of the next period has been reached.

Note: If only one Alarm Period is configured, then that Alarm Periodis in operation 24 hours a day.

In the example shown in Figure 102: Example Settings for a Multi Alarm Period Alarm, User Mary Smith configured an Alarm with three time periods for one of her Skillsets.



Figure 102: Example Settings for a Multi Alarm Period Alarm

The Alarm is triggered when the parameter AN (number of Agents Not ready) passes beyond the thresholds. The Skillset applies to three shifts of Agents: a morning shift, the evening shift, and the late shift, which consists of a smaller number of Agents. Because the Skillset has a different number of Agents Logged in during each shift, an Alarm based on Agents Not ready must have different thresholds to allow for the different numbers of Agents Logged in at the various periods throughout the 24-hour cycle. In the example shown in Figure 102: Example Settings for a Multi Alarm Period Alarm, the first Alarm Period begins at 08:30 in the morning. The comparison is >= , so the Alarm is triggered when the AN parameter meets or exceeds the threshold. The threshold is 5. When the AN



144

parameter reaches 5 or above, the selected message is sent to the wallboards that are assigned to this Skillset. The second Alarm Period begins at 17:30 in the evening. The comparison is >=, so the Alarm is triggered when the AN parameter meets or exceeds the threshold. The threshold is 3. When the AN parameter reaches 3 or above, the selected message is sent to the wallboards that are assigned to this Skillset. Because there are fewer Agents in the Afternoon Shift, the threshold is lowered to 3. The third Alarm Period begins at 22:30. Note that this Alarm Period operates until the next Alarm Period starts, which in this example is Alarm Period One, at 08:30 the following morning. Because of the smaller staff in Mary Smith’s Skillset during the late shift, the Threshold is lowered to 2. In all cases, the same Alarm Message is used. Because the (AN) symbol is replaced by the appropriate value of the AN parameter when the message is displayed (which is when the Alarm is triggered), a single message can be flexible enough to be used in different situations. However, if Mary Smith wants to, she can use a different message for each Alarm Period, or she canconfigure any of the Alarm Periods to use a Static Alarm. 7. Click Submit to save your settings.

Figure 105: Add Schedule Page

Follow these steps to configure the Schedule: 1. In the Wallboard Skillset list, select a skillset that is specific to the schedule.

Note: When you add a schedule, the alarm is specific to a particular Skillset (or the System, if you select the System list item). A Schedule Message can be used by many Skillsets, but a Schedule is specific to a single Skillset.

.

Note: If you configure a Schedule to be a System Schedule, that Schedule appears on all wallboards that are configured as System wallboards.



148

Note: You can specify the same Schedule settings for different Skillsets, and these different Schedules can use the same Schedule message, but they are all separate and distinct Schedules, and they must be created separately.

2. From the Day list, select the day on which the Schedule operates. You can set a Schedule

to operate on a specific day of the week, every day from Monday to Friday, every day from Monday to Saturday, or Daily (every day).

Reports

Reports Introduction

General Nortel Reporting for Contact Center provides a set of flexible and easy-to-understand reports. The reports contain information about the call traffic in and out of your Contact Center and about the activities of your Contact Center Agents.

Fundamental Concepts

The concepts fundamental to understanding the background of the reports in the Nortel Reporting for Contact Center application.

In-Progress Calls

The reports display only information about calls that are completed at the time the report is requested. That is, in-progress calls do not feature in any of the reports.

Report Periods Manually generated reports can be produced for any elapsed period of time, up to a year in length. For example, a report that covers the period from 12:00 p.m. Tuesday to 16:15 p.m. Thursday can be produced. The pre-defined limitation on the time frame a manually generated report can include is a maximum of one year. Note: The Agent Audit, Agent Activity and the Agent Profile reports, however, will generate several reports each in monthly or quarterly time periods if a report period of one year is selected. The Agent Audit report will generate up to a maximum of 12 separate reports of one month intervals. The Agent Activity and Agent Profile reports will generate reports in 3 monthly intervals up to a maximum of 4 reports each for a year’s time frame. Scheduled reports are limited to fixed durations: daily, weekly, or monthly.

Skillset Selection Many reports allow the User to report on any combination of the Skillsets they are assigned.

Reports 155


They can report on a single Skillset, a combination of their assigned Skillsets, or all of their assigned Skillsets. Note: Reports may contain more information than requested. For example, a request for an

Agent Profile report for Skillset 1 produces a report that lists all the Agents who were logged in to Skillset 1, including multi-Skillset Agents. The report also includes all Agent activity for each Skillset they were logged in to.

If the report is limited to the Agent activity for the requested Skillset only, you need to request the same report for each Skillset that each of the multi-Skillset Agents is logged in to in order to receive a complete report.

Public Switched Telephone Network Call (PSTN) and Multimedia Calls Nortel Reporting for Contact Center reports on both normal PSTN voice calls and calls conducted through the Nortel Multimedia Contact Center.

Direct Calls Direct Calls are calls answered by the skillset through the “Lines Administration” table in the CallPilot Manager. A layman would think of the direct calls as being the number of calls the Contact Center handles. A person phoning a Contact Center once generates a single Direct Call.

Indirect Calls Every time a direct call is transferred between Skillsets, the call is counted as an Indirect Call. Therefore, a call to a Contact Center generates a single Direct Call and zero or more Indirect Calls. Indirect Calls are those moved to a Skillset by means of the Move to Skillset Call Routing step or manually transferred to the Skillset Control DN.

Calls and Transactions The separate phases of call transfers are known as Transactions. A call can be transferred back and forth between Skillsets and Agents. A call can produce any number of Transactions. For example, an incoming call into Skillset 1 that Agent 1 answers and retains until complete is a single transaction. However, if Agent 1 transfers the call to Agent 2 or Skillset 2, then the call requires two transactions. This is the case whether Agent 2 is in the same Skillset as Agent 1 or in a different Skillset.

Reports

Tracking the separate transactions of a call results in a more accurate and understandable representation of the activity within a Contact Center.

Transactions and Direct and Indirect Calls If an incoming Contact Center call requires a series of transactions within one Control Directory Number (CDN), the second and subsequent transactions do not affect the Direct and Indirect Call totals because these transactions are not new Incoming Calls.

Contact Center Transactions and Non-Contact Center Transactions A non-Contact Center Transaction is a call that did not come in through the Contact Center to an Agent, but came to an Agent’s phone through Direct Inward Dialing (DID), Auto Attendant (AA), or Custom Call Routing (CCR), for example.

Explanation of Terms Used within Reporting for Contact Center

This section describes terms used in Nortel Reporting for Contact Center reports or terms common in Contact Centers.

Report Definitions This part of the section describes all the definitions used within the reports in Reporting for Contact Center. Abandoned Call An abandoned call is a Contact Center call that was terminated by the caller before they were connected to an agent or other endpoint like voicemail or operator for example. Abandoned Time Bins A series of six user-defined time intervals is used in the statistical analysis of Abandoned Calls. Nortel Reporting for Contact Center provides a report on the numbers and percentages of incoming calls abandoned within each of the intervals specified in the Abandoned Time Bins. A seventh Time Bin is also used, to gather information about all calls that are abandoned after the interval specified by the sixth user-defined Abandoned Time Bin. Answered Time Bins A series of six user-defined time intervals used in the statistical analysis of Answered Calls. Nortel Reporting for Contact Center provides a report on the numbers and percentages of incoming calls answered within each of the intervals specified in the Answered Time Bins. A seventh Time Bin is also used to gather information about all calls that are answered after the interval specified by the sixth user-defined Answered Time Bin. Activity Code Pegs Each time an Activity Code is entered it pegs or increases the usage count for that Activity Code in increments of one. Activity Code reports display the usage counts or peg totals for the Activity Codes included within the reports. Control Directory Number The Control Directory Number (Control DN or CDN) is the extension number of a Contact Center Skillset. The Control DN is used to transfer calls to a Skillset. The installer is responsible for assigning a Control DN to each Skillset before the Skillset can be enabled. Delayed Call The Delayed Answer feature reduces Toll Charges for queuing calls. This feature prevents the Contact Center from answering calls and playing greetings when no agents are available. When Delay Answer is activated within a Skillset, waiting callers hear a ring back tone. When a call comes in on a line for a Skillset that does not have any available agents, the call is not answered until either the Delay Answer time elapses or an Agent becomes available, whichever comes first.



These Delayed Calls have reached the Skillset, but the routing table has not answered them. Toll charges do not accrue until the routing table answers the call. Direct Call Direct Calls are calls answered by the skillset through the “Lines Administration” table in the CallPilot Manager. A layman would think of the direct calls as being the number of calls the contact center handles. A person phoning a Contact Center once generates a single Direct Call. Disconnected Call A call terminated by a Disconnect Call Routing Step, or a call that has no more routing steps and has not been routed anywhere (by a poorly configured routing table, for example). Grade of Service A figure that represents the level of service provided to incoming callers based on Contact Center response times. The figure is calculated as follows: ((Pre - AnCS - AbC) / Pre) * 100 Indirect Call Every time a direct call is transferred between Skillsets, the call is counted as an Indirect Call. Therefore, a call to a Contact Center generates a single Direct Call and zero or more Indirect Calls. Indirect Calls are those moved to a Skillset by means of the Move to Skillset Call Routing step or manually transferred to the Skillset Control DN. Note that a non-agent transferring a non-Contact Center call to the Control DN of a Skillset will count as a Direct Call because this call has not been handled by either a human member of another Skillset nor has it been handled by the call routing of another skillset. However, an Agent transferring a non-Contact Center call to the Control DN of another Skillset will count as an Indirect Call because that call has been transferred by a member of another Skillset. Multimedia Call A call generated and processed through the Nortel Multimedia Contact Center. A button can be placed on a business’s website that can be clicked to initiate a multimedia call to a Skillset in the Contact Center. The multimedia call may involve a Follow-me browser session, a Chat session, and may include a real time voice portion. Outgoing Calls Calls made to a number outside the BCM. Not an internal or intercom call. Presented Calls The number of all calls presented to a Skillset. This is the summation of the Direct and Indirect calls. Presented Calls Abandoned Abandoned Calls are calls in which the incoming caller hangs up when the call is held at the Skillset Control DN. Presented Calls Answered

Reports Explained


178

An Answered Call is a Call that was presented to a Skillset and it was neither abandoned nor disconnected and it was answered within this Skillset. It could be answered by an Agent or voicemail. Presented Calls Answered after the Primary Alert (before secondary) The number of calls that are answered after the time specified as the primary alert threshold, but before the time specified as the secondary alert threshold. Presented Calls Answered before the Primary Alert The number of calls that are answered before the time specified as the primary alert threshold. Presented Calls Answered after Secondary Alert The number of calls that are answered after the time specified as the secondary alert threshold. Presented Calls Handled in Another Skillset Calls that left a Skillset and entered another Skillset because of an Overflow Rule or any other Routing Condition or Step, or that were manually transferred to another Skillset. The fate of these calls is recorded in the reports for the Skillset they have moved to, not in the Skillset they leave. Presented Calls that Left Skillset via Overflow Number of calls that leave a particular Skillset due to an overflow rule. The overflow rules that cause a call to leave a Skillset are as follows:

� Move to Skillset � Transfer to Mailbox � Transfer to Auto Attendant � Transfer to Operator � Transfer to CCR

Presented Calls that Left Skillset via Routing Table Number of calls that leave a particular Skillset due to the Routing Table step. This number does not include calls that have left the Skillset because of the Transfer to External or the Transfer to Extension routing steps. PSTN Call Public Switched Telephone Network Call (a “regular” voice call). Statistical Time Bins A collective term for the Abandoned Time Bins and the Answered Time Bins. Time to Answer The total amount of time a call was active in Skillset call routing (queuing) or receiving other call treatments, such as delayed answer. This time also includes the time that a call is ringing on an Agent’s handset before it is answered. Time to Abandon Time elapsed until the call was abandoned, which is displayed in the format: hh:mm:ss Transactions Answered



Each Agent that treats a call is recorded as a separate transaction. For example, if a call is answered by Agent A and transferred to Agent B, each portion of the call is considered a Transaction of the same call. The number of calls is 1, but the number of transactions is 2.

Transactions Answered by Agent The number of Transactions answered by an Agent or Agents. Transactions Answered by Another Skillset The number of Transactions answered in a Skillset other than the one the call arrived in. Transactions Answered by Non Agent The number of Transactions Non Agents (people not logged in to the Contact Center) answer. Transactions Answered by Operator The number of Transactions the Operator answers. Transactions Answered by Overflow Agent The number of Transactions the Overflow Agents answer. Transactions Answered by Voicemail The number of Transactions directed to Voice mail. This includes either the Skillset Mailbox or an Agent Mailbox; the statistics do not distinguish between types of mailbox. Unstaffed Calls Calls presented to a Skillset when no Agents are logged in to handle the calls.

Agent Definitions This part of the section describes terms used for Agents in the Nortel Reporting for Contact Center reports or terms common in Contact Centers. Available Time The length of time that an Agent is available to answer Incoming Calls. Break Time Also known as Post Call Completion, the time allocated to Agents following the end of an Incoming Contact Center Call. Break Time is commonly allocated to Agents to allow them to complete post-call administrative tasks. Incoming Contact Center Time The time an Agent is engaged in an Incoming Contact Center Call, either a PSTN or a Multimedia call. Incoming Non-Contact Center Call Time Time spent on incoming non-Contact Center calls, which are calls that came in directly to the Agent’s DID line and not through the Contact Center. Internal Call Time The time an Agent spends on internal calls.

Reports Explained


180

Not Ready Time The duration of time when either the Agent invoked the Make Not Ready feature to indicate they are not Available to take calls or the Contact Center placed the calls in the Not Ready state because the Agent did not answer a call or is active on an internal call. The Not Ready State occurs when an Agent is accessing their voicemail or in a telset **config session. Additionally, an Agent is in the Not Ready state when making an Outgoing call on a digital line until the call is answered. Outgoing Call Time The time an Agent spends on calls made to a number outside the BCM. It is not the time spent on an internal or intercom call which is the Internal Call Time. Supervisor Monitor Time The time a Supervisor spends monitoring an Agent.



Reports

This section describes reports and provides example reports.

Answered Calls Report Figure 124: Answered Calls Report shows an example of the Answered Calls report.

Figure 124: Answered Calls Report

Summary For each of the Skillsets in a report, the total number of answered calls is displayed. For each Time Bin, the number of calls answered within that Time Bin is displayed. This figure is also presented as a percentage of the total number of answered calls. The Answered Calls report shows how long calls wait before they are connected to an Agent. Voice calls and Multimedia calls are listed separately and totaled for each Skillset, and for the report total.

Reports Explained


182

The Answered Calls Report indicates the total number of Skillset answered calls included within the report. Transactions (see page 160) do not affect calls-based reports. Voice (PSTN) calls and Multimedia calls are listed separately and totaled for each Skillset, and for the report total. Both figures and the percentages are provided. The breakdown is based on Answer Time Bins values, which are specified in Nortel Reporting for Contact Center (see the Nortel Reporting for Contact Center Setup and Operations Guide). There are six Time Bins. A seventh, which captures all values higher than the sixth Time Bin, is appended automatically. A graphical representation of the number of calls in each of the Time Bins is also included in a report, as shown in Figure 125: Answered Calls Graph.

Figure 125: Answered Calls Graph

In this example, Time Bins increments range between 10 seconds and 1 minute. The seventh Time Bin captures any call that is answered after waiting more than one minute.



Any Skillset Supervisor can review the figures of an Answered Calls Report to determine how long the calls answered in Skillsets had to wait before they were answered. The report example shows large data values in the first and second Time Bins, indicating that incoming callers are generally answered within 10, 20, or 30 seconds. Very few calls wait longer than 30 seconds to be answered. No callers are required to wait more than a minute. For the average call length, refer to the Call Average Report (see Page 244). Logic Calls that are transferred directly between Agent sets are not included in this report. This report covers only the time that calls waited in the Skillset queues before being answered. It includes Direct and Indirect Contact Center calls. Each Skillset in the report is displayed with the Time Bins that are configured for that report. FAQ

Why are the Time Bin calculations incorrect in the Total rows and columns?

This is by design. There are different Time Bins configured for certain Skillsets. When selecting multiple Skillsets with these different Time Bins the Total row across the top takes the earliest Time Bin, the latest Time Bin and works out even Time Bins between the 2 values.

Abandoned Calls Report

Figure 126: Abandoned Calls Report shows an example of an Abandoned Calls Report.

Figure 126: Abandoned Calls Report

Summary For each of the Skillsets included in the report, the total number of abandoned calls is displayed. Each Abandoned Call within a Time Bin is also displayed. This figure is also represented as a percentage of the total number of Abandoned Calls. This report indicates the number of calls received and how long Abandoned Calls waited before they hung up. Voice (PSTN) calls and Multimedia calls are listed separately and totaled for each Skillset and for the report total. Both figures and the percentages are provided. The breakdown is based on Abandoned Time Bin values, which are specified in Nortel Reporting for Contact Center (see Abandoned Time Bins in the section, Report Definitions).



In this example, Time Bins increments range between 10 seconds and 1 minute. The seventh Time Bin captures any call that is abandoned after waiting more than 1 minute. See Figure 127: Abandoned Calls Graph.

Figure 127: Abandoned Calls Graph

The graph in Figure 127: Abandoned Calls Graph depicts an ascending profile of wait periods from 10 seconds to 40 seconds, then descending through to one minute. An increased number of calls is assigned to the seventh Time Bin. Callers who want to hold are represented in the seventh Time Bin category; that is, they have remained on hold and abandoned after 1 minute. The identity of some of the abandoned callers may be held in the Abandoned Calling Line ID Report (see Page 244). The Call Profile Report (see Page 244) indicates Abandoned Calls throughout the day. Use this to plan your staffing levels. Logic If a call is a Contact Center call while at the Control DN of the Skillset and the caller hangs up, the call is classified as Abandoned. This includes direct and indirect calls to a Skillset. FAQ

Abandoned Calling Line ID Report An example Calling Line ID Report is shown in Figure 10: Calling Line ID Report.

Figure 128: Abandoned Calling Line ID Report

Summary This report displays the Calling Line Identification, if known, of Abandoned Calls. The Abandoned Calling Line ID Report lists various items regarding the Abandoned Calls for the Skillsets included within the report. The data and the time at which each call was abandoned is listed, together with the Calling Line ID of the call (when it is known) and the amount of time the caller waited before hanging up. Calling ID is not always known. When Nortel Reporting for Contact Center does not know the Calling Line ID, it displays the channel or line number on which the call arrived.

This report can be used as the basis for a call-back policy in which abandoned callers are called as a courtesy follow-up. This could be done selectively, so that only the callers who held for the longest times before abandoning were called back (as they were the ones who were most determined to get through and to make use of your services). The report could also be checked for the Calling Line ID of Gold or preferred customers (remember that you can search through on-screen reports, see Page 244). This report can also be used to determine the number of abandoned calls before or after the Contact Center is closed, which can be used as an indicator of whether the Contact Center should be staffed for a longer period, perhaps by a reduced skeleton staff, on a rotational basis. Alternately, early and late callers could be advised of your hours of operation. The Call Profile Report (see Page 244) will also indicate where the peaks of the Abandoned Calls occur throughout the day. The Abandoned Calling Line ID report will also indicate those callers who abandoned. Logic This report only includes Contact Center calls that incoming callers terminate while held on a Control DN and before they have reached an Agent. This includes direct and indirect calls to the Skillset. If there is no Calling Line Identification (CLID), the report displays either the target line (or physical line, if that is not known) that carried the call. FAQ

What is displayed in the CLID column if the Calling Line Identity is not known?

The CLID column in the report will display the: • CLID; • Target Line (if the CLID is not known); or • Physical Line (if the CLID and the Target Line are not known).

Agent Capacity Report Figure 11: Agent Capacity Report shows an example of the Agent Capacity Report.

Figure 129: Agent Capacity Report

Summary This report displays the occasions when there were no logged in agents available to answer incoming Contact Center calls. That is, it details the instances, the duration, and the total duration of all periods when all Agents were occupied simultaneously. Reasons that Agents are unavailable include they are already on an incoming or outgoing call or they are Not Ready. The Agent Capacity Report indicates how often, and for how long, the Contact Center was working at its maximum Agent capacity. The Agent Capacity Report does not consider instances when there were no Agents signed in; it only reflects staffed periods.



Note: If the Report includes more than one Skillset, the Grouping values represent the cumulative amount of time for those periods that all Agents were unavailable, totalled for all Skillsets, and the number of instances totalled for each Skillset.

Logic The time is noted when all logged-in Agents are unavailable to answer a call and when an Agent becomes available to take a call. The duration between these two times indicates the amount of time that there were no agents available. Report Fields A description of each of the fields in the report.

Help Request Report Figure 130: Help Request Report shows an example of a Help Request report.

Figure 130: Help Request Report

Summary The Help Request report lists the instances of each help request that a supervisor answered. Arejected request is rejected on an Unanswered Help Request Report. If the Calling Line ID is not shown, the line number is shown. Usage Example The Contact Center Supervisory Help feature is intended for use in ‘emergency’ situations when an Agent is on a call and urgently requires the help of a Supervisor without alerting the caller that a supervisor is being called in. It is not intended for routine consultations or when the Agent is not on a Contact Center call.



However, new Agents to your Contact Center will most likely use the Help feature more frequently during their initial training period. This report can be used to monitor the progress of new Agents, because over time, they should make fewer Help requests. It can also be used to determine if a particular customer has complex or troublesome requirements. The Calling Line ID (where known) is displayed and associated with each Help Request. This provides a record of who phoned into the Contact Center and the Agent who requested the additional help. Logic Every help request a supervisor answers is recorded within the reports database. Report Fields A description of each of the fields in the report.

Call Average Report Figure 131: Call Average Report shows an example Call Average report.

Figure 131: Call Average Report

Summary This report indicates the number and the associated averages for answered and abandoned Contact Center calls, and for answered Transactions (that is, transferred calls). The Average Time to Answer and Average Time to Abandon figures in this report can be used to determine the appropriate settings for the Primary and Secondary Alerts, or wallboard alarms. This example report shows that the Average Time to Abandon is higher than the Average Time to Answer. If the times were inverted, wallboard alarms could be activated when a call had waited 20 seconds, for example, in the Skillset queue. This alarm would alert the Agent that a Call had been waiting for a period approaching the ‘danger time,’ which in this Contact Center is 33 seconds. Usage Example



The report can also be used to determine the Average Incoming Call Duration. This can then be used to determine an appropriate Agent Alarm for Incoming Calls, so that an Agent who has a call which lasts longer than the average duration is highlighted on the Agent Details Real Time Screen. The Average Incoming Call Duration can also be compared with the values in the Agent Average Report (see Page 244). Logic This report is devised based on Skillset. Each Skillset is shown on a separate line. Each line displays a total for the field and an average time (to answer, to abandon, and the answered incoming call time) for the call type. FAQ

Why does the number of Answered and Abandoned calls not equal the number of Incoming Call Transactions?

The Incoming Call Transactions are the number of Answered Calls and so does not include the number of Abandoned calls.

Why does the number of Answered calls not equal the number of Incoming Call Transactions?

Each Agent treating a call is recorded as a separate transaction. If a call is answered by Agent A and transferred to Agent B, two transactions will be recorded for the same call. So the number of Answered calls will be 1 but the number of Answered Incoming Call Transactions will be 2. Report Fields A description of each of the fields in the report.

Agent Average Report Figure 132: Agent Average Report shows an example Agent Average report.

Figure 132: Agent Average Report

Summary The report displays the average durations of three Contact Center activities for each Agent. These activities are Contact Center Transactions Average Incoming Time, the Average Outgoing Call Time, and the Average Break Time. For the Incoming and Outgoing Call Times, the number of calls is also provided. The average time for the number of Transactions for each Skillset, but grouped by Agent, includes incoming Contact Center calls, outgoing calls, and breaks. The Agent Average Report facilitates Agent comparison. The Agents’ Average Incoming Transaction Time is listed.

Reports Explained


198

Note: This report covers incoming Transactions, not only Direct and Indirect Incoming Calls (see Page 155).

Usage Example for Average Incoming Transaction Time If an Agent is exceeding the average on Incoming calls, the following factors may exist:

� Perhaps the Agent requires additional training.

� Perhaps the Agent is adept in dealing with difficult or complex calls and the other

Agents are transferring these calls to this Agent because of the Agent’s expertise.

� Perhaps the Agent is more attentive to the incoming callers.

� If an Agent is taking far less than average time to deal with their Incoming Calls, perhaps they have developed their speed are simply fast, or they are less attentive to the incoming caller, or perhaps they are transferring their calls to other Agents.

The Average Break Time indicates which Agents are taking full breaks and which Agents are not. Usage Example for Average Break Time If some Agents are, on average, taking 30 seconds and everyone else is taking 15 seconds, then perhaps the Break Time for everyone could be reduced to 20 seconds, and then, after a period of acclimatisation, reduced to 15 seconds.

! Note: If you request this report for Skillset 1, you receive a report listing all the Agents who were logged in to Skillset 1, including multi-Skillset Agents. The report will include all the activity of those Agents, regardless of the Skillset of the call they answered. If the report is limited to the Agent activity for the requested Skillset only, you need to run the same report for each Skillset that each of the multi-Skillset Agents was logged into, to receive a complete report of their activity.

Logic The report is broken down by Skillset and then grouped by Agent. Activity conducted by any Agent logged in to any of the Skillsets included within the report is shown for all Skillsets in which they were logged, not just the requested Skillsets, during the report time period. The report, therefore, shows the activity for multi-Skillset agents for all of the Skillsets into which they were logged into during the report time period. FAQ

Why is the number of CC Transactions Answered by Agent in this report not the same as the number of Answered Incoming Call Transactions in the Call Average Report?



The main difference between both of the reports is that the Call Average Report displays calls placed in that particular Skillset only, whereas the Agent Average Report displays all Call Transactions for the Agent regardless of what Skillset they have logged into. The advantage of this is that the Agent Average Report enables the User to view Agent activity regardless of what Skillset they were logged in to without having to generate a report for each Skillset. You can use the Agent Average Report By Agent to view a break down for each Skillset only. Report Fields A description of each of the fields in the report.

Agent Profile Report Figure 15: Agent Profile Report shows an example Agent Profile report.

Figure 133: Agent Profile Report

Summary This report displays the activity profile, actual figures and durations (not averages), of the Agents logged in to a Skillset for the report period. There is a separate entry for each logged in session for the Agents. The report includes all major activities of each Agent over the period included in the report.

need to run the same report for each Skillset that each of the multi-Skillset Agents was logged into to receive a complete report of their activity.

Logic The report is generated for a single Skillset, but will display the profile for any Agent activity from any Skillset into which they were logged for the period of the report, even if they were not a multi-Skillset Agent. This activity is displayed for the length of time that an Agent is logged into the selected Skillset. Note: This report does not display all activity for an Agent, therefore totaling all of the

Agent activity times will not equal the logged-in time.

Certain times can overlap. For example, an Agent with an answered call on hold who is also making an outgoing call will accrue incoming and outgoing durations simultaneously. Furthermore, an Agent may log out while on an incoming call. They can, therefore, accrue incoming time beyond their logged in session. Additionally, other activities not included in the report are Ringing State and Not Available state. Ringing State is when calls are ringing on the Agent’s handset and Not Available, or Busy, state is the time when Agents are not available to take calls. These activities do not form part of the logged in time, nor the total logged in time.

!You CANNOT add up the totals in this report and expect them to match the total logged-in time for the Agent.

FAQ

Does the Agent Profile report include activity for each Agent?

Yes, and it will include Agent Activity across all Skillsets they have logged in to. See FAQ under Agent Average Report, Page 198, for an explanation of why the report does this. Note: The activities in this report will not add up to the login time it is not meant to do this,

it is possible for an agent to perform activities outside of their login, that is, Answer a Call, Logout, Disconnect from the call 1 minute later.

FAQ

Does the Agent Activity Report include all Agent activity for whatever Skillset they logged in to?

Yes, except for Ringing and Not Available Time.

The Not Ready Time seems to be very high?

The Not Ready Time value can be high as this can be accumulated by either the Agent invoking the Make Not Ready feature, or the Contact Center placing the calls in the Not Ready state because the Agent did not answer a call or is active on an internal call.

Activity Code Report by Skillset Figure 136: Activity Code Report by Skillset shows an example Activity Code Report by Skillset.

Figure 136: Activity Code Report by Skillset

Summary The Activity Code Report by Skillset displays the usage of grouped Activity Codes (known as ‘pegs’) that are broken down into each Skillset. This report shows the Activity Code that has been entered on calls for each Skillset included in the report. For each Skillset, the Activity Codes are presented in alphabetical order, with the average call duration time, the number of pegs, and the actual accumulated time of all the calls that were associated with each Activity Code. Activity Codes can be used to determine different things. If an Activity Code represented each magazine or publication in which advertisements had been placed and each incoming caller was



asked to indicate where they saw the advertisement they were responding to, this data can be used to indicate which publications are the most effective advertising vehicles. Activity Codes can be used to identify different types of calls. For example, a Help Desk could have Activity Codes for different products that they support. The data can then be examined to determine which products generate the most calls, or which product support calls have the highest average talk time. Activity Codes can be used to represent Agent activity as a result of a call, for example, Activity Codes could be established to represent Credit Account Application Letter Sent, or Catalog Posted, and so on. Logic This report displays Activity Code usage grouped by Activity Codes and grouped again for each included Skillset. Each line of data is a total of Activity Code pegs that were entered over the period selected in the report generation. Report Fields A description of each of the fields in the report.

For example, if 2 pegs are entered at the same time, the Activity Code Time for those 2 pegs will be the length of the call divided by 2. If one peg is entered, call time is recorded and another peg is then entered. The first peg will record activity time up to the point that the second peg is entered.

Figure 139: Summary Report

Summary This report displays a summary of key Contact Center statistics over the period of the report, broken down into one Hour, Day, and Month time slots. The Summary report provides a quick, one-report summation of the performance and activity of the Skillsets it includes. A figure-based and an average-based table are provided above a profile, which spans the report period. For each unit, the number of incoming calls, answered calls, abandoned calls, calls handled in another Skillset, Outgoing Calls, and Unstaffed Calls are shown, together with the Grade of Service, expressed as a percentage. The Summary Report includes six graphs, shown in Figure 140: Summary Report Graphs Page.



Figure 140: Summary Report Graphs Page

Each graph is a bar chart profile of the report period. This graph allows data correlations to be highlighted and then investigated using other, more detailed reports. This report indicates, for example, that investigation is required into why the highest number of Outgoing Calls was made at the same time as the highest number of Abandoned Calls. Presenting information in this fashion makes such anomalies easy to spot, enabling the Supervisor to then look further into the matter. Logic The summary report is generated for selected Skillsets. Depending on the date range, the report is broken down into one of the following periods: Hourly, if the report period is less than 48 hours, Daily, if the report period is less than one month, and Monthly, if the report period is longer than one month. A summary of the totals of certain call types and an average of call lengths and grades of service is also provided. FAQ

Why is the “Presented Calls Handled in Another Skillset” different to the “CC Transactions Handled In Another Skillset” in the Call Profile Report?

The Calls Handled in Another Skillset column in the Summary Report does not include Manual Transfer to Skillsets when already answered. This column is only interested in calls that have been answered the first time, not when the calls have already been answered.

Which Skillset are “CC Transactions Answered By…” answered by?

The call transactions in this report include all transactions answered in the each of the Skillsets. Remember that a transferred call borrows the Agent in to that Skillset even if they are not logged in to it. For example, AgentA transfers a call from Skillset1 to AgentB who is not logged in to that skillset (Skillset2), they are temporarily borrowed into this Skillset (Skillset2) and the Call Transactions Answered By Agent field is incremented by 2 for each answered transaction of the call.

Why does the Outgoing Calls column display 0, when the Agent Average and Agent Profile reports display outgoing calls made?

Technically outgoing calls are not related to any Skillset. Therefore, if an Agent is logged into multiple Skillsets and makes an outgoing call, since it is not a Skillset activity how do we record that call? If the agent is only logged into one Skillset, it is logged against that Skillset, for multiple-Skillset Agents it is logged against the first Skillset they log into.

Call Profile Report Figure 141: Call Profile Report shows an example Call Profile report.

Figure 141: Call Profile Report

Summary This report provides a profile of the Transactions within the Contact Center, broken down into Hour, Day, and Month. This report demonstrates numbers of calls presented to the Skillsets in the report, and the number Answered, Abandoned, Disconnected, Answered by Agents, Voicemail, Operator, Overflow Agents, Non-Agents and Other Skillsets during a report period. It also presents the Grade of Service, expressed as a percentage. This report can be used to determine the fate of calls profiled in a report. A Call Profile report can indicate the number of calls in various time slots and if calls are Answered by Agents in a Skillset, for example. The Call Profile Report can also be used to help determine staffing levels and call peaks on a particular day or for a particular period.



A Call Profile report that spans several weeks will identify whether a call peak is a general trend in an average week, and may indicate a need for higher staff availability on certain days. A Call Profile report can also be used to judge the effectiveness of a marketing campaign. A report covering one period for a number of previous years can be compared with a report for the year of the marketing campaign. An example of a Call Profile report graph page is shown in Figure 142: Call Profile Report Graph Page.

Figure 142: Call Profile Report Graph Page

Logic The call profile report is generated for a range of selected Skillsets. Depending on the selected date range, the report is broken down into one of the following periods: Hourly, if the report period is less than 48 hours, Daily, if the report period is less than one month, and Monthly, if the report period is longer than one month.

Each line of data represents a total of each statistic within the Contact Center for the selected report period. FAQ

How does Voicemail answer calls in the Contact Center?

Voicemail calls are answered if a call has overflowed or transferred to Voicemail, or if the call is transferred to the Auto Attendant after it has been answered by the Contact Center, that is, the CCR Tree.

How does a non-Agent answer a call?

A non-Agent is someone who is not logged into the Contact Center. A non-Agent answers a call that has arrived directly to their DN either through the routing table, or by F70 transfer.

Are “CC Transactions Handled in Another Skillset” calls transferred from one Agent to another, or internal tranfers?

These are call transactions that have been handled in another Skillset regardless of whether it has been answered or not. This can include transferring to a Skillset CDN either through the routing table, or by manual F70 transfer.

Which Skillset are “CC Transactions Answered By…” answered by?

The call transactions in this report include all transactions answered in the each of the Skillsets. Remember that a transferred call borrows the Agent in to that Skillset even if they are not logged in to it. For example, AgentA transfers a call from Skillset1 to AgentB who is not logged in to that skillset (Skillset2), they are temporarily borrowed into this Skillset (Skillset2) and the Call Transactions Answered By Agent field is incremented by 2 for each answered transaction of the call.

Incoming Call Report Figure 143: Incoming Call Report shows an example Incoming Call report.

Figure 143: Incoming Call Report

Summary This report provides an overview of the incoming calls into the Contact Center, for a selection of Skillsets. The Incoming Call Report relates to Incoming Direct and Indirect Calls, not Transactions (see Page 156). This report provides a consolidated one-line summary of the call traffic into the Skillsets included in the report, and the call handling of that traffic. This report can be used to determine how many calls (Direct and Indirect) were presented to the Skillsets, and how many were Answered and Abandoned.

Reports Explained


232

Location and Agent answering calls, calls answered before the Primary Alert (<P), calls answered after the Primary Alert, but before the Secondary Alert (>P), and calls answered beyond the Secondary Alert (>S) can also be determined. Logic The Incoming Call report is generated for a range of selected Skillsets. Each line of data shows the number of incoming direct and indirect calls, and the other columns show the treatment those calls received. Treatments include being answered by Agent, by Overflow Agent, by Voicemail and calls that left the Skillset by means of the routing table. This reports main focus is on Contact Center calls not transactions. FAQ

Where do Direct Calls come from?

Direct calls are calls placed directly to the Skillset. That is, these calls have not arrived through any other method like F70 transfer to Skillset CDN, or transferred or moved in the routing table.

Are Indirect Calls handled by another Skillset Agent?

No, these are Contact Center calls that have arrived to a Skillset by some other method. In other words, they originated from another Skillset, by F70 transfer, or move to Skillset in the routing table.

Why is the number of Agent calls displayed less than those stated in other reports? Also, the number of Voicemail calls is 0 but the Call Profile Report shows a number of calls answered by Voicemail.

This report does not include manually transferred calls only calls directly presented to an Agent.

Which totals are the “Left Skillset via Overflow Table” calls in?

The report does not say which Skillset eventually handled these calls. However, if you look at your routing table you can find out which Skillset these went to, based on the rules. Report Fields A description of each of the fields in the report.

Agent Average Report by Agent Figure 145: Agent Average Report by Agent shows an example Agent Average Report by Agent.

Figure 145: Agent Average Report by Agent

Summary This report displays Agent activity, grouped by Agent then broken down by Skillset. This report reviews the work each Agent has performed in each Skillset they have logged into. A report may include a single Skillset or multiple Skillsets. If an Agent is logged into more than one Skillset and those Skillsets are included in the Report, then the activities of the Agent are segregated so that the work in each Skillset is separately displayed. Logic The Agent Average Report by Agent is generated for a selection of Skillsets. Each group of data represents Agent activity in a certain Skillset calculated into averages.



This report displays the activity of agents who logged into the selected Skillset during the period of the report. Note: If an Agent was not logged into one of the selected Skillsets, they may still have

activity associated with one of the selected Skillsets. For example, they may have received overflow calls or received a call manually transferred to them from an Agent in one of the selected Skillsets, or for any other transfer of call method that temporarily ‘adopts’ the Agent into the Skillset for the duration of the transferred call.

Figure 146: Agent Activity Report by Skillset

Summary This report displays Agent activity for a selection of Skillsets grouped by Agent. This report enables a review of the work in each Skillset. All the Agents who have logged in to the Skillsets included in the report are reviewed. Only the activity directly related to the appropriate Skillsets is displayed. In the example in the figure, Agent 4 has been logged into Skillset 1, Skillset 2, and Skillset 3, and so the report reviews Agent 4’s activity for each of these Skillsets. Logic For each Skillset, the average durations of six Contact Center statistics are displayed for each Agent, in turn.

For calls that have been transferred to the Agent, Transferred appears at the start of the line for that Agent. Likewise, if the Transaction was for an overflowed call, Overflow appears at the start of the line for that Agent. Other will be shown for any other transfer call methods that temporarily adopts the Agent into the Skillset for the duration of the transferred call. FAQ

Does the Agent Activity Report By Skillset include transferred calls from other Agents?

Yes.

The Agent Activity Report By Skillset shows one call transfer whereas the Agent Average Report By Agent is displaying 2 call transfers?

The Agent Activity Report By Skillset displays data for each Skillset separately. In the Agent Average Report By Agent you will view all Agent Activity for that Agent in all Skillsets they had logged in to, which is why an extra Transferred Call is seen.

The times are slightly off from other reports?

The Agent Activity Report By Skillset includes activity from the full logged in time, say, for example, from 07:58 to 17:04, as opposed to the Agent Activity Report which caps all activity at the requested time. Using the example, the capped time would be from 08:00 to 17:00. Report Fields A description of each of the fields in the report.

Troubleshooting Reporting for Contact Center 245


Backing Up the MySQL Database

The mysqldump Utility

mysqldump is a utility included in the MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\bin folder of the MySQL installation on the Web Host PC. This can be used to create a file which contains all of the SQL statements required to re-create the Nortel Reporting for Contact Center statistical and configuration database. It can also be used to restore the backed up data.

Backing Up the Database It is highly recommeneded to backup the database. You can use mysqldump to create a backup of your database using the following syntax. Note that the following should all be typed on one line, and should be entered in a Command Prompt window, from the MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\bin folder. mysqldump --add-drop-table --user=webhost --password=r33CCtgs2? CCRDB > CCRDBbackup.sql CCRDBbackup.sql is the file to which the backup should be written. This can be named whatever you like. Substitute the name you wish to use for CCRDBbackup.sql in the above command.

Restoring from a Backup To restore the contents of a backup to the Nortel Reporting for Contact Center statistical and configuration database use the following command. Note that the following should all be typed on one line, and should be entered in a Command Prompt window, from the MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\bin folder.

! You should be certain that you wish to restore the backup before you enter this command.

mysql --user=root --password='YR46L43!' CCRDB < CCRDBbackup.sql Note: The restore command uses the word ‘mysql’ but the backup command uses the word

‘mysqldump’. Note: There are single quotes around the password in the restore command, but NOT in the

backup command. Note: There are two hyphens in front of the --user, --password and --add-drop-tables options. Note: Substitute the name of the backup file you wish to restore for the CCRDBbackup.sql in

the example restore command.

Backing Up the MySQL Database


246

Note: Alternatively, Microsoft Windows provides a tool for backing up and restoring your files and folders on the Web Host PC. This can be scheduled to back up and restore the MySQL database.

To use the Windows Backup Utility click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Backup. The Backup or Restore Wizard dialog box will open up. Follow the instructions to go through the Wizard. For scheduled jobs click on Advanced from the Completing the Backup Restore Wixard screen. It is important that you first consult your support personnel about your organisation’s back up and restore policies and procedures before attempting to backup the MySQL database.



Troubleshooting Reporting for Contact Center

Slow Updates on Real Time Screen

The Real Time screens should be updated approximately every 1 or 3 seconds (depending on your Contact Center configuration in the Contact Center Configuration page of Nortel Reporting for Contact Center. If they seem to be slow or sluggish, the following points should be checked.

Web Host PC Requires a Host File entry Check with your Network Administrator to add an entry in the Web Host PC Host file. This is a Windows system file and is usually located in the \Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder of the Web Host PC (this may be called the \Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder). You must enter the IP Address and the network name (machine name) of the Business Communications Manager to this file. Separate the two items by using the Tab key. An example Host file is shown below. # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp. ## This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. ## This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. ## Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. ## For example: ## 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 Localhost 10.1.1.105 BCMMachineName

Figure 148: Example Host File

Anti-Virus Software Slowing Down the File System

Some Anti-Virus software packages have been seen to cause such a significant slow down on the file system of the Web Host PC that the Real Time screens have trouble processing all of the XML data they receive from the Contact Center in time to refresh the Real Time data in a timely fashion.

248

Norton Anti-Virus is one anti-virus package known to cause this symptom. By un-checking the Enable File System Real Time Protection option in Norton Anti-Virus the operation of the Real Time screens are no longer restricted and can operate in their usual way. To do this, right click on the Norton Anti-Virus icon in the system tray. If there is a tick by it, select Enable File System Real Time Protection to remove the tick. Alternatively, you can try deactivating the Nortel Reporting for Contact Center diagnostic logging (if it is activated), see Page 63.

Anti-Virus packages vary in their implementations and in the granularity with which you can adjust their operational parameters. Typically, however, the settings which you can adjust that would make the Real Time Screens appear sluggish in updating are the real time file scanning settings.

Note: ‘real time’ in this context means that the Anti-Virus software scans the files on your computer constantly – it does not refer to the Reporting for Contact Center Real Time screens. It is just a coincidence that both applications have features that have the words ‘real time’ in their title.

• Some Anti-Virus packages allow you to specify files with certain extensions which are to

be ignored during virus scans. If this is possible with your Anti-Virus software, instruct it to ignore files with .log extensions.

• Some Anti-Virus packages allow you to specify locations on your hard disk which are to be ignored during virus scans. If this is possible with your Anti-Virus software, instruct it to ignore the location of the Reporting for Contact Center log files. By default this is \Program Files\Nortel\Reporting for Contact Center\Logs.

• Some Anti-Virus packages allow you to disable or fine tune the real time scanning action of files, and to isolate which types of file modification will trigger a re-scan (create a file, modify a file, write to a file, and so on).

Cannot Access the Login Page

This problem has been seen when the Web Host PC has Norton Anti-Virus running. One setting of Norton Anti-Virus (Script Blocking) prevents Nortel Reporting for Contact Center from running normal operations. This option should be disabled in the anti-virus configuration screen on the Web Host PC only.

Turning off script blocking in Norton Anti-Virus 2001

To disable Norton Anti-Virus 2001 Script Blocking:



1. Start Norton Anti-Virus.

2. Click Options. If a menu appears when you click Options, then click Norton Anti-Virus. The Options for Norton Anti-Virus dialog box appears.

3. Click Script Blocking.

4. Uncheck Enable Script Blocking (recommended).

5. Click OK.

Note: Script Blocking is a feature of Norton Anti-Virus 2001 that was added as a part of a program update. If Script Blocking does not appear in Options, then the program update is not installed. To install the Norton Anti-Virus program update, run LiveUpdate, and download all program updates. Restart the computer when prompted. Run LiveUpdate until you are told that there are no more updates available.

Turning off script blocking in Norton Anti-Virus 2002 or 2003

Norton Internet Security and Personal Firewall

Contact Center connection blocked

If Norton Internet Security is installed on your PC and the Personal Firewall is enabled, the user may encounter problems with the Contact Center connection whereby data can not be downloaded from the Business Communications Manager to the database on the Web Host PC.

Check that files such as the java.exe and mysqld-nt.exe files are not being blocked by your Personal Firewall. If these files are being blocked then change the settings in your Personal Firewall for these processes from Block All (recommended) or Custom, to Permit All. The data download from the Contact Center should continue as normal.

For further information about firewall settings, refer to your firewall documentation, or consult your support personnel.



Changing Agent Names

If an Agent changes their name, for example if they marry and take a new surname, or if an Agent leaves and their Contact Center Login ID is allocated to another person, this will affect the way in which Reporting for Contact Center displays information for the Agent in the reports. The reports will distinguish between the two identities associated with the single Contact Center Login ID as follows.

• The Agent Activity Report will list each Agent separately. • The Agent Audit Report will consider that Contact Center Login ID to be the same

person and will show all activity that the Agent with that ID has performed, irrespective of the Agent name in the User Admin screens. In effect, for the same period, reporting on the first Agent name will yield the same information as a report on the second Agent name.

• The Agent Average Report will reference the first Agent name only.

If both Agent names refer to the same person (for example, it is the same person but they have taken a new surname because they have married), these differences do not matter.

However, if the name change is because of an actual change of personnel, then it is easier to isolate the activities of the two Agents in the reports if the new Agent is allocated a distinct Contact Center Login ID, and the old Login ID is no longer used.

Virtual Folders Not Created in Internet Information Services

Reporting for Contact Center relies upon some Virtual Folders which are created during the installation of Reporting for Contact Center on the Web Host PC.

If these Virtual Folders are ever inadvertently removed or altered, or if they are not created during the installation, you will see the following error page.

Accessing Networked Printers From the Web Host PC

In order for the Web Host PC to contact and utilize network printers, you must have a User logged into Windows on the Web Host PC.

This means that if you wish to run Scheduled Prints out of hours, you must have a User logged in to the Web Host PC.



Print Schedules require Windows Login

If you want to run Scheduled Print reports you must have a User logged into the Web Host PC at all times. This is due to the way in which Windows handles Networked shared printers. A work around for this is to create a scheduled task in Windows and then specify a user name and password for that task, shown below: Open the scheduled task control panel, see Figure 152: Scheduled Task Control Panel, this is usually located in the Programs > Accessories > System Tools item from the start menu.

Figure 152: Scheduled Task Control Panel

Note that the Wallboard Summaries are sent to the wallboards on the hour, according to the time of the Web Host PC clock. The regular hourly and daily statistics that are sent to the wallboard are governed by the Contact Center platform clock. The hourly statistics are reset to 0 on the hour, according to the clock in the Contact Center platform.

If the clock in the Web Host PC is set to a different time than the clock in the Contact Center platform, the hourly Summaries will not be synchronised with the hourly reset of the regular statistics. To ensure that the wallboard summaries are in time with the hourly resets of the regular wallboard statistics, ensure that your PC and Contact Center platform times are the same.

Crystal Reports ActiveX Report Viewer

The first time that reports are viewed on a Client PC (that is, some PC other than the Web Host PC) an ActiveX Viewer is installed onto the Client PC from the Web Host PC.

Note: It is recommended that the first time reports are viewed on a Client PC, only one report is generated. This is to prevent multiple ActiveX Viewer installations taking place on the Client PC, especially if the User is not sure whether or not ActiveX Viewer is installed on their PC.

Manual Installation of ActiveX Viewer

If ActiveX Viewer does not automatically install on the Client PC, you will not be able to view reports (you will see the Report Viewer window with a red X in the top left corner).

If you see this reboot the Web Host PC and Client PC to install ActiveX Viewer. If this still does not install ActiveX Viewer, start the installation process manually. On the Web Host PC in \Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\crystalreportviewers\ActiveXViewer\en there is a file called npviewer.exe.

This file should be copied to the Client PC. To install the ActiveX Viewer, double-click on the npviewer.exe file on the Client PC. Click Next in the Welcome window, see Figure 159: Crystal Report ActiveX Viewer Welcome Window.

The first time that the Real Time screens are viewed on a Client PC (that is, some PC other than the Web Host PC) a Java Run Time Module should be automatically installed onto the Client PC, from the Web Host PC.

If this does not automatically happen, you will not be able to view the Real Time screens.

To overcome this you can start the installation process manually.

On the Web Host PC in C:\Program Files\Nortel\Reporting for Contact Center\Javadist there is a file called j2re-1_4_2_03-windows-i586-p.exe. This file should be copied to the Client PC and executed there. This will install the Java Run Time Module.

Errors on Generating Reports

If a User is encountering problems generating reports on their PC with a “page cannot be displayed” message, or some other error message, there may be a database table corruption issue. In this case your System Administrator can run the Automatic Fix Utility for RCC Database program from the Web Host PC to check for, and repair corrupt tables within the MySQL database.

Follow the steps in this section to run the Automatic Fix Utility for RCC Database on the Web Host PC.

1. In the browser Address bar enter the location: http://localhost/rcc/dbfixutil/

2. The Check Tables page appears. See Figure 167: Check Tables page.

Figure 167: Check Tables page

3. Select one or more Reporting for Contact Center database tables from the listbox that you would like to check for corruption, or click on the Select All Tables button to select all of the tables in the database.

4. Click the Check selected table(s) button.



5. The Table Summaries page appears, see Figure 168: Table Summaries page. This page provides a summary of all the tables that had been selected to be checked for corruption. Any corrupted tables will have the word “Corrupt” displayed in red font within the table summary and also be displayed in a list box of corrupt tables at the bottom of the page, as shown in Figure 168: Table Summaries page.

Figure 168: Table Summaries page

To view a printer-friendly version of the status of checked database tables, click on the Printer Friendly Version link below the Table Status display, or click the Print view of table summaries link from the left menu.

6. You can select one or more Reporting for Contact Center database tables from the list box of corrupted tables to repair, or click on the Select All Corrupt Tables button to select all the tables listed.

7. Click the Fix Selected Tables(s) button.8. The Repaired database tables page opens, as shown in Figure 169: Repaired Tables page.



266

Figure 169: Repaired Tables page

The Repaired Tables page details the repairs performed on all of the selected corrupted tables.

9. The Automatic Fix Utility for RCC Database window can be closed and the User can log back into Reporting for Contact Center to generate reports without errors.

Launching Reporting for Contact Center from a Shortcut

If an Interent Explorer shortcut has been created to launch the Reporting for Contact Center Login page, you must ensure that Reporting for Contact Center is launched in a new window. If this is not done so, and only one Internet Explorer window is left open at the time of launching Reporting for Contact Center from the shortcut, Reporting for Contact Center will open in that



window, even if it is a fixed sized window such as a Reporting for Contact Center Real Time screen.

Follow these steps to launch a Reporting for Contact Center shortcut in a new window.



2. Click on the Advanced tab and scroll down to the setting, Reuse windows for launching shortcuts, see Figure 170: Advanced Tab Settings in Internet Properties dialog box. Make sure that the checkbox is unchecked.

Figure 170: Advanced Tab Settings in Internet Properties dialog box

3. Click OK to close the Internet Properties dialog box.

If the Reporting for Contact Center window and other Reports are grouped together in an Internet Explorer taskbar button, right-clicking the Internet Explorer taskbar button and selecting Close Group, as shown in Figure 172: Selecting Close Group option from Internet Explorer Programs taskbar button, may cause an Internet Explorer problem.



Figure 172: Selecting Close Group option from Internet Explorer Programs taskbar button

If Internet Explorer encounters problems an error message will be shown, as in Figure 173: Internet Explorer Close Group Error.

Figure 173: Internet Explorer Close Group Error

Click Send Error Report to close down all remaining open Internet Explorer windows. This will close Reporting for Contact Center and any Report Viewer windows that were open.

Glossary


270

Glossary Abandoned Calls........ Abandoned Calls are calls that ring in to the system and the incoming

caller clears down the call because they do not wish to wait any longer before they are answered. These calls have not been handled by humans or by voice mail.

Abandon Time Bins ... A series of six time steps used in the statistical analysis of Abandoned

Calls. Nortel Reporting for Contact Center will provide statistical reports on the percentage of incoming calls abandoned within each of the periods specified in the Abandoned Time Bins. A seventh period is also used in the reports, which gathers information on all calls which abandoned after the period specified by the sixth Abandoned Time Bin.

Administrator ............. A Nortel Reporting for Contact Center User who has been awarded

Administration rights. These Users can configure core elements of Nortel Reporting for Contact Center that regular Users can not, and they can perform such actions as creating other Users.

Alarm Threshold ........ Alarms may be set to trigger an alert on the wallboards, to inform your

Agents of some event or circumstance. The value that a parameter must reach, match or exceed to trigger an Alarm is the Alarm Threshold.

All Calls Held ............ If an Agent has placed all of their calls on hold, so that they have no

active calls, they will be shown in Magenta in the Real Time screens. Answered Time Bins.. A series of six time steps used in the statistical analysis of Answered

Calls. Nortel Reporting for Contact Center will provide statistical reports on the percentage of incoming calls answered within each of the periods specified in the Answered Time Bins. A seventh period is also used in the reports, which gathers information on all calls that were answered after the period specified by the sixth Answered Time Bin.

Available State ........... The Agent is ready to take Incoming Calls. The Available State is

shown as Blue in the Real Time Screens. Break Time................. The period allocated to Agents following clear down of an Incoming

Contact Center Call (also known as Wrap Up and Post Call Completion). Break Time is displayed in the Real Time Screens as Dark Green.

Calls Answered .......... ‘Answered’ means the Call was not abandoned, and it did not require the

involvement of another Skillset in the handling of the call

10

Glossary 271


Calls Presented........... The counts all of the calls that were presented to a Skillset, both Direct (a ‘regular Contact Center call’ delivered straight into the Skillset,) and Indirect, which means the Call arrived in the Skillset in some other way.

Direct Call .................. From the point of view of any given Skillset, Direct Calls are calls that

were presented directly to that Skillset. That is, the incoming caller was handled by the Call Routing and was presented by the Call Routing directly to the Skillset in question.

Calls Handled In Another Skillset ......... Calls that have left a Skillset and entered another Skillset because of an

Overflow Rule or any other Routing Condition or Step. The fate of these calls is then recorded in the reports for the Skillset they have moved to – not in the Skillset they leave.

Indirect Call ............... From the point of view of any given Skillset, Indirect Calls arrived in the

Skillset after being handled by the Call Routing or Agents of another Skillet. For example, they may have overflowing from another Skillset or may have been manually transferred to the Skillset queue by an Agent from another Skillset. Any way a Call can arrive into a Skillset other than being a regular Contact Center Call presented Directly to the Skillset (as described above) is counted as an Indirect Call. Whether the call overflowed to the Skillset in question, or was moved to the Skillset by the Move to Queue Call Routing step, or whether it was manually transferred to the Skillset Control Dn, it is counted as an Indirect Call.

Grade of Service ........ The Grade of Service is a figure that is used to represent the level of

service provided to incoming callers, based upon Contact Center response times. It is calculated as follows:

Presented = Total Number of Direct Call

transactions Presented to the Skillset Abandoned = Calls which Abandoned >Secondary = Calls transactions answered after the

Secondary Alert G of S% = Presented - Abandoned – >Secondary x 100 Presented

Incoming State ........... The Agent is engaged on an Incoming Contact Center Call, either a PSTN or a Multimedia call. The Incoming State is shown as Green in the Real Time Screens. If an Agent has been on an Incoming Call in excess of the Incoming Call Duration Threshold their timer will be displayed against a Red background.

Glossary


272

Multimedia Call ......... A call generated and conducted through the use of Nortel Multimedia Contact Center. A call which may involve a Follow-me browser session, a Chat session or was initiated by a caller clicking a button on a Web Page.

Non-Contact Center

Call State .................... Grey is used for non-Contact Center calls. Not Ready State .......... Either the Agent has invoked the Make Not Ready feature to indicate

they are not Available to take calls or the Contact Center has placed them in the Not Ready state because a call was unanswered at their handset or the Agent is active on an internal call. The Not Ready State is shown as Dark Grey in the Real Time Screens. If an Agent has been Not Ready in excess of the Not Ready Duration Threshold their timer will be displayed against a Red background.

Outgoing State ........... The Agent is engaged on an Outgoing Call. The Outgoing State is shown as Yellow in the Real Time Screens. If an Agent has been on an Outgoing Call in excess of the Outgoing Call Duration Threshold their timer will be displayed against a Red background.

PSTN Call .................. Public Switched Telephone Network Call – a ‘regular’ voice call. Real Time................... Information is available that displays the current states of Skillset Calls

and Agents. This information is refreshed approximately every 3 seconds. These displays are called the Real Time Screens. Information can also be displayed on hardware and software TCP/IP enabled wallboards, to provide Real Time information to the Contact Center Agents.

Stat Time Bins............ A collective term for the Abandoned Time Bins and the Answered Time

Bins. Supervisor Monitoring If a Supervisor is monitoring an Agent the Supervisor is displayed in the

Real Time in Gold, and the Status column will say ‘Monitoring’. TCP/IP........................ Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol: a protocol developed

by the US Department of Defence for communications between computers. It has become the de facto standard for data transmission over networks, including the Internet. TCP and IP are transport and address protocols; TCP is used to establish a connection for data transmission, and IP defines the method for sending the data in packets.

Title ............................ A string of text displayed on the top line of a wallboard. This restricts

the wallboard to being able to display 3 parameters only. User ............................ A User is a person who has been allocated a Username and Password to

allow them to use Nortel Reporting for Contact Center. Users can

Glossary 273


configure some elements of their usage of Nortel Reporting for Contact Center, but they do not have the same scope for configuration as an Administrator.

Unstaffed Calls........... Calls that were presented to the Skillset when there were no Agents

logged In to handle those calls. Wallboard................... A device that is used to display Contact Center statistics and messages to

the Agents and other Contact Center staff. Nortel Reporting for Contact Center TCP/IP enabled hardware WallBoards and SoftBoards from the ipView range of wallboards.
