List of Service Metrics
This section provides detailed descriptions of the real-time metrics that apply to services and campaigns, which are displayed via the Service Metrics View. Metrics are arranged in alphabetical order.
Note the following general considerations regarding service metrics:
- Unless noted otherwise, the terms interactions, calls, and emails in the metric descriptions shall be interpreted as interactions, calls, and emails associated with the given service or campaign.
- The term agents in the metric definitions shall be interpreted as agents qualified to provide this service (i.e., those who have the corresponding service skill with any level higher than zero). Note that because one service may be associated with more than one team, the agent-related service metrics (e.g., Logged In, Ready, Occupancy, etc.) may include agents that you are not assigned to supervise.
- Real-time metrics are updated as soon as the corresponding events take place. For example, IN Received will be updated when the call is received and the requested service is identified. Therefore, while there are calls in progress, the sum of reported call exits should not be expected to add up to the value reported by the IN Received metric.
Service Metric Descriptions
Busy
The Busy metric provides the number of agents who are currently handling interactions associated with any service. This metric includes agents in the After Call Work (ACW) state.
Busy Svc
Busy Svc provides the number of agents who are currently handling interactions associated with the given service. This metric includes agents in the ACW state with respect to such interactions.
CB Requested
CB Requested provides the number of inbound interactions that have requested callback.
CB Waiting
CB Waiting provides the number of callback requests that are currently waiting in the service queue.
IN ASA
For answered inbound calls and chats, IN ASA is the average time that the calls/chats waited in the service queue before being answered.
For replied inbound emails, IN ASA is the average time between email arrival and the sending of the first meaningful reply (acknowledgment is not considered a meaningful reply).
This metric is cumulative statistic calculated for all interactions since the reset time.
IN Active
IN Active provides the number of inbound interactions currently being actively handled by agents. This metric includes all inbound interactions in the agents’ active communications list (ACL), except the ones in the ACW phase. Note that emails in agents’ My Queues are not considered active and are not included in this count.
Note that in earlier versions of Bright Pattern Contact Center, the voice-only equivalent of this metric was called IN Talking.
IN Agent Disconnected
IN Agent Disconnected provides the number of inbound interactions that have been terminated by agents.
IN Avg Talk Time
This metric refers to IN Total Talk Time or IN Handled.
IN Carried Over
IN Carried Over provides the total number of emails that arrived at this service at any time before the reset time and remained unprocessed at the reset time. This metric includes both new emails and emails related to existing threads.
IN Carried Over - New
IN Carried Over - New provides the number of new inbound emails that arrived at this service at any time before the reset time and remained unprocessed at the reset time. This metric excludes emails related to existing email threads.
IN Closed
IN Closed provides the number of inbound emails that have been closed without reply by agents.
IN Desktop
IN Desktop provides the number of inbound emails that are currently saved in agents' My Queues.
IN Handled
IN Handled provides the number of inbound interactions that have been handled and completed by agents. This metric will count all instances of possible transfers and conferences as separate interactions.
For emails, this metric includes IN Replied, IN Closed, IN Transferred, and IN Svc Changed.
IN Handled New
This metric applies to emails only and counts only new emails that have been handled by agents. Note that this metric excludes emails related to existing email threads.

IN Max Wait
IN Max Wait provides the current wait time of the longest of the interactions currently waiting in the service queue. This metric includes callback requests, but it does not include preview records.
Note that an interaction can be requeued for another service either automatically or manually. In this case, the metric shows the interaction for the service it is currently waiting for but calculates the total waiting time since the moment the interaction entered the first service queue.

IN Svc Changed
IN Svc Changed provides the number of inbound emails that have been recategorized by agents (i.e., associated with another service). Note that this metric counts only the emails that the agent continues to process after recategorizing them. Recategorized emails that are transferred to another resource are counted by the IN Transferred metric.
IN Svc Level %
For inbound calls and chats, IN Svc Level % provides the percentage of interactions that have been answered within the predefined service level threshold relative to all answered and abandoned calls except the calls abandoned within that threshold.
For inbound emails, IN Svc Level % provides the percentage of emails for which the first meaningful reply was sent within the predefined service level threshold relative to all replied emails. (Acknowledgment is not considered a meaningful reply.) Note that the email service level threshold excludes the time that is outside of the hours of operation specified for the given service.
The percentage is calculated for the 20 most recent interactions. In addition to the current service level, the metric also provides information about the target service level and the configured threshold (in hours for emails; in seconds for other media types).

OUT Unattended %
OUT Unattended % provides the percentage of OUT Unattended relative to all outbound calls answered by the remote party. This metric applies to predictive campaigns only.
Note that both the timeout and the unattended call percentage may be subject to regulation by government agencies. Note also that the unattended call percentage, also known as abandonment rate, is typically regulated over a longer period of time (e.g., 30 days in case of FCC). Therefore, it is generally recommended to monitor this metric using the historical Telemarketing Compliance Report, regulate the campaign calling rate using the Target occupancy setting in the campaign configuration, and observe the immediate effect using this real-time metric.
Occupancy
Occupancy provides the percentage of time agents that have spent handling interactions of the given service (including the preview time and after-call work) relative to their total working time (i.e., the time the agents have spent handling interactions of any service and being Ready to handle interactions).
Ready
The Ready metric provides the number of agents who are currently in the Ready state.
