1.1.1. Agent evaluation

This displays the number of calls rated by Auditors and Supervisors, as well as the summarised rating of the Agent. 

Rating—total score. It is calculated by the formula sum(call ratings) / number of rated calls, rounded off to hundredths (0.00).

Calls with transfers are not rated.

Only a call that has a call recording and/or transcription can be evaluated.

One call can only be evaluated once.

1.1.2. Status change menu

The status change menu consists of a timer that displays the amount of time in this status since the last transition to this status and a drop-down list that opens when you click on the timer field (Fig.3). The drop-down list displays the available transition statuses. To switch to the desired status, click on it in the drop-down list.

There are such statuses:

 Offline;

 Online;

 Pause;

 Break out.

When the operator is in the Break out status, the drop-down list looks like in Fig. 4.

Fig. 4. Agent on Break out

An Agent enters the Break out status only if they miss the number of calls entered in the Max no answer field on the Timing tab of the agent`s Team. This parameter is counted by distributed calls that the Agent missed, regardless of whether the subscriber dropped it or was distributed to another Agent.

The status change menu forces the Agent to enter the required status.

When you select the Pause status, a Select the reason for the pause modal window opens (Fig. 5). The modal window displays all available pause reasons and the amount of time: How much time the Agent was in this pause today / How much time is provided for being in this pause?
