Monitoring queues

The Queues section gives you a visual representation of your queue performance. It helps you understand how well your agents adhere to your compliance and quality guidelines. In this section, you can edit queue settings and change the number of agents assigned to a queue.

1. Log in to your Voximplant Kit account.
2. On the left sidebar, select Reporting > Live monitoring.
3. Select Queues.
4. Select the Calls tab for real-time call monitoring.
5. The queue summary table displays the following metrics:

6. Click the Settings icon to select which queues you want to monitor and which columns you want to display. You can save your filters as a custom view and share it with other users.

7. In the summary table, select the queue you want to monitor in detail.
8. Select the period you want to analyze from the drop-down list.
9. The dashboard displays the following queue performance metrics:

A call is abandoned when a customer waits in the queue and then cancels the call before an agent answers the phone.

A call is lost if a customer is removed from the queue by the system (the call goes to the Fail port of the Call-to-queue block). For example, when a customer waits in the queue for a while and is removed from the queue when the maximum waiting time elapses (set up in the queue settings). A call is also lost when there are no agents in the queue in operational statuses (all statuses, except Offline, DND, and custom) - in this case the customer is immediately removed from the queue.

1. Scroll down to locate the Agents statuses table. The table allows you to review what the queue agents are currently doing based on their statuses.
2. Enter the agent name in the Search field if you need to know the status of a certain agent. By default, the table includes all agents assigned to the queue.
3. In the left column, select one or several statuses you want review. By default, the table displays agents in all statuses, except Offline.
4. In the Agents in selected statuses field, review how many agents are in the status(es) you specified. The bar chart illustrates the relationship between the selected statuses.

5. In the table, review the agent name, status, time spent in the status, and the assigned queues/campaigns.

6. If you have appropriate permissions, use the Status column to quickly change an agent's status or temporarily suspend their job. You may need this for proper statistics calculations or agents' performance improvement. Once you change the status, it updates in the agent's Workspace. Note that status management is available to employees with restrictions (see below).
