Call rate

The Call Rate is the number of calls taken/made per hour by an agent. However, the 
time that the agent is logged on is taken into account to give a more accurate figure. 

The Call Rate is then worked out by dividing the number of calls by the time logged 

on.

Calls inquired

Number of inquiry calls (calls that have been held and retrieved by the same 
agent) made by all agents within the group.

Call time (for 
agents)

The time from the moment the call was answered until the call ended, including the 
wrap-up time.

Call time (for 
lines)

The time from the moment the call was answered until the line was freed.

Connect 
device

Displays the device to which the agent’s extension is connected to complete the 
speech path. Can refer to the incoming DID number, if available (default), or to the 
line if preferred.

Connect 
group

Displays the name of the group assigned to the DID or line number to which the 
extension is connected during a call.

Dialed digits

Displays phone numbers of incoming and outgoing calls.

Inquiry hold

When an extension/agent places a call on hold and then reconnects to the call 
without transferring it.

Erlang

Number of inquiry calls (calls that have been held and retrieved by the same 
agent) made by all agents within the group.
