Reminder Notice
Engage Voice Analytics Update
'Scheduled Reports' has been renamed Prebuilt Reports and is in maintenance mode, and there will be no further development and bug fixes.
How will this affect customers?
We have replaced Legacy Reporting (Scheduled Reports or Prebuilt Reports) with our next-generation Advanced Engage Analytics (Historical Analytics: Historical reports and Historical dashboards).
Legacy Reporting uses an outdated, session-based logical data model, whereas Advanced Engage Analytics uses a modern, segment-based logical data model.
- Access to Legacy Reporting has been disabled since October 22, 2021.
- Customers with access to Legacy Reporting will need to be migrated to Historical Reporting as-soon-as-possible (ASAP)
- New customers will only have Real-time Dashboards and Historical Reporting (Historical reports and Historical dashboards).

Metrics
We added two new metrics that help better track both agents handle time and interactions handle time.
- Agent AHT Buckets: Time intervals or buckets showing agent average handling times. Time intervals are by 60 minutes. (00:00 to 00:59, 01:00 to 01:59, etc.)
- Interaction Handle Time Buckets: Time intervals or buckets showing interaction handle times. Time intervals are by 60 minutes. (00:00 to 00:59, 01:00 to 01:59, etc.)
Note: The first bucket (00:59) for both metrics is split into six buckets of 10 seconds. (00:00 to 00:09, 00:10 to 00:19, etc.).
We also added back the following metric:
- Recording URL: Provides the URL for phone call recordings.
Reports
We added the following reports.
- Agent Avg Handle Time Distribution: Chart that shows the distribution (in percentage) of the average handle time of agents.
- Agent Avg Handle Time Distribution Details: Table that shows each agent's average handle time. It also details each agent’s agent group, location, and the number of segments and interactions.
- Interaction Handle Time Distribution: Chart that aggregates the number of interactions based on handle time intervals in minutes.
- Interaction Handle Time Distribution Details: Table that shows by UII the details of interaction handle times.
