Function documentationCall List Attributes and Statistics

 

Certain statistics and attributes are provided for supervisors to see the status of calls and call lists in the Interaction Center (IC) WebClient. If automated dialing is used for call lists, then the Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) database sends information to the SAP CRM database with call list statistics once the call list is synchronized. For more information see Call List Synchronization.

Integration

Call list statistics are found in the SAP Easy Access screen, in Start of the navigation path Interaction Center Next navigation step Supporting Processes Next navigation step Outbound Calling Next navigation step Call List Maintenance End of the navigation path.

Type

Call list types can be used to classify call lists into groups, for example, you might have one call list type for campaigns, and another type for telesales. You can define common logic for call list processing according to the type. Call list types are defined in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management by choosing Start of the navigation path Interaction Center WebClient Next navigation step Additional Functions Next navigation step Call Lists Next navigation step Define Call List Types End of the navigation path. For more information, see corresponding IMG activity documentation.

Interaction Center

Call list management can support more than one interaction center. Use this field to define the interaction center that call lists belong to. Interaction center corresponds with an organizational unit in organizational management.

The standard dispatching components do not use this flag. It is only available for custom dispatching components. If selected, agents must execute calls in the order that is defined in the custom dispatching component.

Forbid Resorting of Calls by Agents

If checked, agents cannot sort calls.

Maximum call time. This attribute can be set for individual calls or at the call list level. All calls that do not have this value inherit the value from the call list, if one exists.

Activities

Current statistics are shown when the supervisor logs into the application. However, this information does not refresh automatically, so the supervisor should use Refresh to see current statistics.

The system updates call list statistics when the following actions occur:

  • A call is created and/or added to a call list.

  • A call is deleted or removed from a call list.

  • The call state changes, such as ready, locked, or completed.

Example

Ms. Smith, the supervisor at the Best Product company wants to see the status of the New Customer Call List. She knows the call list contains many calls and expects it to be completed in a few days. Depending upon the statistics, she may assign more agents to work on the call list to finish it on time. She logs into the system and sees that the call list is 85% completed and decides not to assign any more agents as the call list will be finished soon.
