Viewing Details in the Summary Section

After you move past the filters section, you will find the Summary section that displays the essential metrics briefly. These metrics depend on the filters you have set previously.

You can see five blocks here:

  1. Responded Conversations - This block shows the number of conversations the agents have answered in the selected time period. 
  2. Missed Conversations - This block shows the number of conversations the agents have missed in the time period set in the filters. 
  3. Chat Duration - This block shows the total time agents spend on chats in the selected time period. 
  4. Chat Rating - This block shows the average rating given by customers to chats in the time period set in the filters.
  5. Avg Response Time - This block shows the average response time of the agents in the selected time period.

Each block also shows the percentage increase or decrease in the metrics compared to the previous time range. If it is good progress, the arrow is green; otherwise, it is red. 
Consider this example.


Here you can see the metrics summary of a single day (Sept 22, 2020) and the agents active (7) on that day. The increase and decrease in numbers are shown in colored arrows.

  1. The number of responded conversations has increased by 34% when compared to the previous day. This is good news for the company because the response conversations by agents must be higher. Hence, the arrow is in green.
  2. The number of missed conversations has increased by 164% when compared to the previous day. This is bad news for the company because missed conversations must be fewer. Hence, the arrow is in red.
  3. The chat duration decreased by 27% compared to the previous day. This is bad news for the company because the shorter the chat, the better the experience. Hence, the arrow is in red.
  4. The average chat rating has increased by 1% when compared to the previous day. This is good news for the company because it shows that the customers are satisfied with your service. Hence, the arrow is in green.
  5. The average response time has decreased by 5% when compared to the previous day. This is good news for the company because it shows that your agents are up and running and actively responding to the chats. Hence, the arrow is in green.

Did you know?


In the screenshot below, the Average chats count label is greyed out because the chart is not displaying data on the average number of chats.
Most charts show data that are grouped based on multiple aspects. For example, the Response time by agent chart data is grouped by the average chat(s) count and the average response time. If you do not want to view the data on average chat count, you can click on the label provided at the bottom of the chart.
