As soon as you land on the Chat Insights page, you will see the Filters section.

Chat Insights provides an option to view the metrics filtered by groups, agents, and time period. For example, you can view your team's performance or a specific agent's in the last two weeks.

Click the Main Menu.

Go to Help Desk.
Select Chat Insights.
Click the Groups drop-down on the top of the screen.

Select the agent.

Click Apply.
Click the date range drop-down.

Select an option or enter a custom range.

Click Apply.

Summary

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:

Responded Conversations - This block shows the number of conversations the agents have answered in the selected time period.
Missed Conversations - This block shows the number of conversations the agents have missed in the time period set in the filters.
Chat Duration - This block shows the total time agents spend on chats in the selected time period.
Chat Rating - This block shows the average rating given by customers to chats in the time period set in the filters.
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.

The number of responded conversations has increased by 34% when compared to the previous day. This is good news for the company because the responded conversations by agents must be higher. Hence the arrow is in green.
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 less. Hence the arrow is in red.
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.
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.
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.

Actions possible on the widget

Did you know you can download or print the widgets? Yes, you read it right.

Click the More icon on any widget, and Vtiger CRM allows you to perform the following actions on it:

Refresh the data
View in Full-Screen mode
Print the widget
Save as Image

By the way, not all of these above actions are available on all the widgets.

Did you know?

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.

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.
