Predictive and Preview Reports

This topic describes the predictive and preview reports. It includes the following information:

NOTE:  You cannot view these reports if your contact center is not running predictive or preview campaigns.

Preview Summary Report

The Preview Summary Report provides a breakdown of the project outcomes (for example, busy and no answer) of all preview call attempts, and the follow-up action taken in response to each outcome.

Table 71 describes the Preview Summary Report and the corresponding tables.

Table 71. Preview Summary Report
Column
Description
Table

Project

The name of the preview calling project.

Corresponding tables include:

  • HistoryActions
  • HistoryPredictiveResults
  • ReportsPreview

Outcome

The outcome assigned to the interaction by the agent.

Corresponding tables include:

  • HistoryActions
  • HistoryPredictiveResults
  • ReportsPreview
  • HasOutcomeName

Phone

The telephone number dialed in the preview call attempt.

Corresponding tables include:

  • HistoryActions
  • HistoryPredictiveResults
  • ReportsPreview
  • HasPhone

Action

The action taken as a result of the predictive call attempt.

None

No action is required.

Corresponding tables include:

  • HistoryActions
  • HistoryPredictiveResults
  • ReportsPreview
  • HasAction
  • ActionID

Add to Do Not Call List

Choosing this result removes the number from the preview calling list, so that Oracle Contact Center Anywhere does not provide the number to agents to call again.

Corresponding tables include:

  • HistoryActions
  • HistoryPredictiveResults
  • ReportsPreview
  • HasAction
  • ActionID

Call Back

Oracle Contact Center Anywhere will call this number back at a specified day and time.

NOTE:  Callbacks for predictive and preview calls work differently from callbacks for ACD calls.

When you schedule an ACD callback (after the customer calls your company and is routed to you), Oracle Contact Center Anywhere automatically calls the customer at the correct time, and then connects the customer to an agent.

When you schedule a callback for a predictive or preview call, Oracle Contact Center Anywhere tries to call every number in the current Dialer List before it tries the callback number. (A dialer list is the list of predictive or preview phone numbers that Oracle Contact Center Anywhere is using.)

If there are a lot of numbers in the current dialer list, it is possible that the callback is not dialed at the time that you set in the Outcome dialog box.

Corresponding tables include:

  • HistoryActions
  • HistoryPredictiveResults
  • ReportsPreview
  • HasAction
  • ActionID

Personal Callback

When selected, Oracle Contact Center Anywhere adds a new task to your Task tab. When the time for the callback arrives, Interaction Manager opens a reminder box on your machine with the customer's name and phone number.

Corresponding tables include:

  • HistoryActions
  • HistoryPredictiveResults
  • ReportsPreview
  • HasAction
  • ActionID

Predictive Summary Report

The Predictive Summary Report lists the total number of occurrences of each possible predictive call result for the selected projects or workgroups.

Predictive Dialer Total Report

The Predictive Dialer Total Report shows a group of call-related statistics (number of calls, answer rate, and so forth) for predictive dialing in 1-minute intervals.

Table 75 describes the report elements, their corresponding tables, and the formulas used in calculations (where applicable).

Table 75. Predictive Dialer Total Report
Column
Description
Table
Calculation

Abandon Rate (Dropped Rate)

This field shows the percentage of calls that were determined to have been answered. A connection to an agent could not be made in the acceptable time. As a result, the call was disconnected.

NOTE:  This field is cumulative.

Corresponding tables include:

  • PredictiveProjectStats
  • ReportsPredictiveTotal

(total number of dropped calls) divided by (the total number of calls since the project started)

Answer Rate

The total number of answered calls compared with the total number of calls since the project began.

NOTE:  This field is cumulative.

Corresponding tables include:

  • PredictiveProjectStats
  • ReportsPredictiveTotal

(total number of live answered calls) divided by (the total number of calls since the project started)

Average Waiting Time

The average time that all agents in the project spent waiting to be given a call since predictive dialing began. This field is cumulative.

To be considered waiting, an agent must be:

  • Available
  • Associated with a predictive project that is running
  • Logged in to predictive dialing

Corresponding tables include:

  • PredictiveProjectStats
  • ReportsPredictiveTotal

Not applicable

Dialer Ratio

A predictive call can have a number of different results. For example, there might be no answer, the line might be busy, or the customer might hang up. Therefore, on average, Oracle Contact Center Anywhere calls more than one number to successfully connect one customer to an agent. The number of calls that Oracle Contact Center Anywhere makes to successfully connect one customer to an agent is called the dialer ratio.

If Oracle Contact Center Anywhere makes an average of three calls before it connects one customer to an agent, then the dialer ratio is three calls to one. The completed call was the third call.

Oracle Contact Center Anywhere tries to predict when an agent is available and makes a specific number of predictive calls. If the dialer ratio is fixed, the ratio is reported from the setting in Administration Manager. If the dialer ratio was set to pacing in Administration Manager, the dialer algorithm dynamically calculates the dialer ratio.

Corresponding tables include:

  • PredictiveProjectStats
  • ReportsPredictiveTotal

Not applicable

Number of Active Calls

The number of calls that were active in Oracle Contact Center Anywhere during the reporting interval. A call is considered active when Oracle Contact Center Anywhere begins dialing that number. A call is considered inactive when a customer or agent hangs up, or when Oracle Contact Center Anywhere hangs up.

For example, if the project is in the 5th minute of running, the total number of calls made (Number of Calls) might be 50. However, during the 5th minute, only 15 calls might be active.

Corresponding tables include:

  • PredictiveProjectStats
  • ReportsPredictiveTotal

Not applicable

Number of Calls

The total number of calls made since the predictive project began in Administration Manager.

This number is cumulative for as long as the predictive project runs. If you stop the project, the number of calls resets to zero (0).

Corresponding tables include:

  • PredictiveProjectStats
  • ReportsPredictiveTotal

Not applicable

Number of Calls Per Agent

Reflects the average number of calls handled by each agent.

NOTE:  This field is cumulative.

Corresponding tables include:

  • PredictiveProjectStats
  • ReportsPredictiveTotal

(total number of calls) divided by (the total number of times that agents had an Available status)

Number of Calls Per Hour

The average number of calls made for each hour.

Corresponding tables include:

  • PredictiveProjectStats
  • ReportsPredictiveTotal

([total number of calls made] divided by [the total dialing time]) multiplied by 60 hours

Project Name

The name of the project(s) selected for the report.

Corresponding tables include:

  • PredictiveProjectStats
  • ReportsPredictiveTotal

Not applicable

Time

Each row in the report shows the statistics for 1 minute of predictive dialing.

For example, if you choose a report start time of 9:00 A.M. and a report end time of 5:00 P.M., the report has 480 rows for each project selected.

Corresponding tables include:

  • PredictiveProjectStats
  • ReportsPredictiveTotal

Not applicable
