What are metrics?
Metrics also called Reports are various types of measurements that can be helpful for you in order to see the current standings of your business. There are 3 main categories of metrics: time-based metrics, effort metrics, and agent activity metrics.
Time-based metrics provide you with data such as first reply time, requester wait time, or full resolution time. Effort metrics include the number of replies, reopened or reassigned tickets, and agent activity metrics concern online time, availability, and resolved tickets. You can also create custom metrics to track data of your highest interest.
Metrics can help you monitor your contact center’s productivity and track working hours of your employees. The goal of this process is to understand your contact center’s operations and improve any areas that may be underperforming.
