Purpose

The Bright Pattern Contact Center Reporting Database Specification describes the historical data that is collected and stored in the Reporting Database, also known as DB2. This database contains detailed records about interactions and agent activities as well as many pre-aggregated statistical values.

Note: The Reporting Database tables that are not documented in this guide are for internal use only.

The data collected in the Reporting Database is used for generating the out-of-the-box Bright Pattern Contact Center reports. The reports have been developed using TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio, an Eclipse-based report designer for JasperReports and JasperReports Server. For information about these reports, see the Bright Pattern Contact Center Reporting Reference Guide.


Creating Custom Reports with TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio

You can use any SQL-based reporting application to create your custom reports. However, using Jaspersoft Studio for custom report creation offers the following advantages:

Note: Jaspersoft has two different tools for report development: iReport Designer and Jaspersoft Studio. Only Jaspersoft Studio is supported as the tool for the creation of custom report templates for your Bright Pattern Contact Center solution.


Creating Custom CSV Exports Using BPXML Templates

To export a large amount of data from the Reporting Database in CSV format, .bpxml report templates can be used. For more information, see the Custom Reporting Tutorial, section Customizing BPXML Report Templates.

How to Use This Guide

The Bright Pattern Contact Center Reporting Database Specification provides descriptions of the statistical data and types of detailed records that may be queried from the database.

This guide organizes such information into two main parts: Statistical Data and Detailed Records. Statistical Data specifies tables that contain metrics for the main contact center resources, such as agents and services. The data in these tables is mainly used for generating typical reports described in the Bright Pattern Contact Center Reports Reference Guide. Detailed Records specifies tables that contain detailed information about all agent activities and all interactions that either entered, or were initiated from, the Bright Pattern Contact Center system. Data from these tables can be used, for example, for quality management tasks, which require searching for specific interactions based on combinations of specific criteria.

You should familiarize yourself with each part by first reading the "general information" sections, which provide basic information about retrieving data from the database, metrics/tables and their meanings, media types, and so forth. After you have begun to query the database, you should use the metric-specific sections of this guide for reference purposes.

Metrics include underscores ("_") in their names; such metrics are the names of the tables of data that are retrieved from the database.


General Information About Statistical Data

The tables specified in this section contain metrics for the main contact center resources, such as agents and services, arranged in 15-minute statistical intervals. The data in these tables is used, in particular, for generating the out-of-the-box reports described in the Bright Pattern Contact Center Reports Reference Guide. You can see the actual queries used in these reports by downloading the corresponding .jrxml templates.

The data source for these metrics is the raw event data that is initially written to the Collector Database (DB1) in real-time by various Bright Pattern Contact Center components. This raw data is then periodically extracted by the Aggregator component, transformed into the specified metrics for the base 15-minute statistical intervals, and loaded into the tables of the Reporting Database (DB2). A SQL-compliant reporting application can be used for aggregating these basic metrics into desired higher-level reporting intervals (i.e., hour, day, week, month, etc.).

The following considerations apply to all statistical data tables:

agent_performance

The agent_performance table contains agent metrics. Note that interaction-related metrics are counted separately for each service that the agent provided within the aggregation interval. Thus, unless noted otherwise with respect to a particular metric, any interaction mentioned in this table shall be interpreted as an interaction associated with the service specified in the service_name field that was handled by the agent identified by the login_id field.


Description of Data

The following table offers the name (i.e., ID), data type (e.g., BIGINT, BINARY, BIT, DATETIME, ENUM, INT, VARCHAR, etc.), and description for each metric (i.e., column) of the agent_performance table.

The concurrent_users table tracks the number of users that were using the system at any moment in the past. A new row is added every time when a number of logged in users changes from a non-zero value (i.e., when a non-first user logs in or any user logs out), but not more frequently than once a minute. (After a first login/logout within a given minute, all subsequent logins/logouts that happen within that same minute will be aggregated and written as a single record one minute after.) A new record is also created unconditionally at the configured Reset time for daily statistics.

General Information About Detailed Records

The tables specified in this section contain detailed information about all agent activities and all interactions that either entered, or were initiated from, the Bright Pattern Contact Center system. The data in these tables can be used, for example, for quality management tasks, which require searching for specific interactions based on combinations of specific criteria. These data can also be used for developing custom metrics that are not available from the aggregation tables specified in the previous sections.

Detailed records are created from the raw event data that is initially written to the collector database (DB1) in real-time by various Bright Pattern Contact Center components. This raw data is periodically extracted by the Aggregator component, transformed into records, and loaded into the tables of the Reporting Database (DB2). The standard aggregation period is 15 minutes; therefore, under normal circumstances, the data in the detailed records for completed interactions and agent activities appear in these tables with a maximum delay of 15 minutes.

Note: All duration values in detailed records are calculated by subtracting the number of full calendar seconds in the start time form the same number in the end time (i.e., milliseconds are disregarded). The time is given in the Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) time zone.

Consider these examples:

agent_activity

Each row of the agent_activity table contains a set of data related to a single agent activity. For interaction-handling activities, this data includes some basic aggregates, such as the agent’s talk time and hold time. Note that a single agent activity spanning multiple aggregation intervals will be reported separately for each aggregation interval that it spans, and all time-related metrics will count the time within the given interval only. For reporting purposes, time-related metrics of the activities that span multiple intervals can be combined using the activity_id field.

Unless noted otherwise with respect to a particular metric, any call mentioned in this table shall be interpreted as a call that was handled by the agent identified by the login_id field during the given activity.

call_detail

Each row of the call_detail table contains a set of data related to the processing of a single interaction, including some interaction-level aggregates, such as total interaction duration and total talk time. Note that the entire interaction record in this table is reported for the interval in which the corresponding interaction was entered the system (for inbound interactions) or was initiated (for internal and outbound interactions), regardless of the number of intervals the interaction may have spanned.

For emails, a record is created in this table as soon as an email arrives in the system (for inbound emails) or initiated by an agent (for outbound emails). The record is then updated every time it is saved as a draft. The record is updated and closed when the processing of the email is finished.

Except for the name of the table itself, the term call in the descriptions below indicates that the parameter applies to calls and chats. Where a parameter has the same meaning for all media types, the term interaction is used. Where a parameter applies to multiple media types with a different meaning, each media type is discussed separately.
