Interaction Analytics Data Included in Data Export

The Interaction Analytics (IA) data export feature creates a JSON file containing a list of records for a batch of analyzed interactions. You can then use these files in your own third-party applications to include Interaction Analytics data with data from other sources in your organization.

An exported file displays data according to when it is analyzed. New records are interleaved with new and reprocessed historical data. So, duplicates may occur. Where new or missing fields are not a breaking change, we recommend following JSON best practices. This helps future-proof consuming applications.

You can directly view the JSON files in a text editing application like Notepad++. Many web browsers also allow you to view the file. The data displays differently depending on the application you use to view it. For example, in Mozilla Firefox, you can only see sub-metrics if you expand the parent metric. In Google Chrome and Notepad++, sub-metrics are already expanded.

The following tables list each metric included in an exported JSON file. To quickly find a specific metric in these tables, press Ctrl+F on your computer keyboard, then enter the metric name.

Metrics Specific to Interaction Analytics

Metric name Details

id

An internal identifier used in Interaction Analytics (IA). Same as the externalId and segmentId.
externalId Unique identifier for each segmentClosed An interaction between two parties, such as a customer and an agent. Each segment represents a stage in the interaction, such as when a call is transferred to another agent, or agents speak internally to consult. of an interaction. An interaction can be made up of multiple segments if contactsClosed The person interacting with an agent, IVR, or bot in your contact center. are transferred or conferenced. Same as the segmentId.
masterExternalId Unique alphanumeric identifier for the interaction record. Assigned by the CXone ACD to an interaction. It is the parent ID for one or more related segments.
customerId Unique alphanumeric identifier for your tenantClosed High-level organizational grouping used to manage technical support, billing, and global settings for your CXone environment. Same as the tenantId. Always the same for every interaction. This metric is not helpful for finding meaning in your data.
accountId Unique numeric identifier for your organization. Always the same for every interaction.
acquiredAt The date and time stamp for when the interaction was received by IA. The date format is YYYY-MM-DD. The time stamp uses 24-hour format: HH:MM:SS. For example, "2023-08-15T13:32:24.466Z".

matchedAccountDataSetIds Associated with the matchedDataSetIds.
matchedDataSetIds List of dataset IDs to which this record belongs. If a dataset ID is not included in this list, then the dataset definition has criteria that would exclude this record.
resolvedProbability Calculation of the probability that the interaction resolved the issue for the contact. This is a numeric value with multiple decimal places but may be more helpful viewed as a percentage.
resolved If contact's issue was resolved in the interaction, the value is true. If not, the value is false. Based on the resolvedProbability value.
mediaType Identifies the media type, or CXone channel, used for the interaction, such as Chat.
channels Groups the following sub-metrics based on the participant within the interaction. The participant is either the AGENT or the CLIENT.
  name The type of participant within the interaction. The participant is either the AGENT or the CLIENT.
  text Transcription of the entire interaction for the channel type. So, it will only display one side of the conversation at a time. For example, for a phone call, this field contains the entire, raw transcription of what the client or agent said. You may find it easier to use the interwoven transcript.
  languageCode Language used in this interaction. Possible values include br, en, es, or fr. In order, these are Portuguese, English, Spanish, and French.
  sentiment SentimentClosed Overall mood or result of the interaction as determined by analysis of words, phrases, and context of the transcript. displayed depending on the participant. The value can be POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, MIXED, or NEUTRAL. For example, if the name value is CLIENT, this field displays the overall sentiment of the contact.
  endSentiment

Sentiment displayed at the end of the interaction by either the client or the agent, depending on the channel participant. Determined by the last 30% of an interaction. The value can be POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, or NEUTRAL.

  beginSentiment

Sentiment displayed at the beginning of the interaction by either the client or the agent, depending on the channel participant.

The value can be POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, or NEUTRAL.

  frustration Level of frustrationClosed Looks for cues to identify customer frustration. The cues include words and phrases like, "I'm very angry". Frustration isn't the same as negative sentiment. Frustration cues show that a customer is upset rather than just discussing something negative. displayed in the interaction. Possible values are Low, HIGH, or NONE. This metric is shown only if the channel name value is CLIENT. Frustration is not measured for the agent side of the conversation.
entities Groups the following sub-metrics for mentions of the custom entitiesClosed Keyword or phrase defined in your company profile in Interaction Analytics. Related to an entity type. Can include variants. you've created in the company profile. Mentions are further separated by channelName. For example, if both the client and the agent mention the custom entity "website", there is an entity grouping for each participant.
  channelName The participant that mentioned the entity. Possible values are CLIENT or AGENT.
  displayText The word or phrase mentioned during the interaction associated with the entity. Possible values vary depending on the custom entities you've created.
  type Entity type for this mention. For example, if the client mentions the custom entity "widgets" you created in the Products entity type, the value here is PRODUCTS.
  sentimentValue Sentiment associated with the entity. This can be either a default sentiment or the custom sentiment you've set for the entity. Possible values are POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, and NEUTRAL.
  custom Whether the entity was added to the company profile or was included as an out-of-the-box (OOB) entity. If it is a custom entity, the value is true. If it is an OOB entity, the value is false.
  count Number of times the entity was mentioned in the interaction by either the client or the agent, as shown in the channelName for the entity.
categoryMatches

For example, if a category is used in four different datasets, there are four sub-metric groupings for that category. This raw data does not show where in the interaction a category match occurred, nor how many times the category was matched.

  channelName The side of the conversation where the category match occurred. Possible values are CLIENT or AGENT.
  fullPath Hierarchical location of the category. For example, the category Contacted Multiple Times is part of the category set First Contact Resolution Issues, which in turn is part of the Agent Performance set. If this category is matched in the interaction, this metric value is Agent Performance/First Contact Resolution Issues/Contacted Multiple Times.
  dataSetIds Unique numeric identifier for the datasets in which the category is used.
enlightenMetrics Groups the following sub-metrics based on the Enlighten customer satisfaction and sales effectiveness metrics. This feature requires Interaction Analytics Advanced or Premium and Enlighten enabled features. If you don't have this feature, the value for each sub-metric is null.
  behaviorName Name of the Enlighten behavioral metric depending on the Enlighten package model.
  rawScore The raw score for the agent performance in the behavioral metric for this interaction. The index score is more helpful for finding insights.
  indexScore Normalized score value from zero to ten for the metric. The NICE Enlighten AI index provides a standardized scoring approach-based ranges of results on billions of real-life consumer interactions. A score of 6 or higher is considered a positive performance for the behavior. A score of 4 or lower is considered a negative performance for the behavior.

  transcriptBlock Each block is a segment of the transcribed interaction that includes the following fields:
    channelName The type of participant within the interaction. The value is either AGENT or CLIENT, depending on who is talking in this block section.
    offset The character offset for the transcript block.
    length Number of characters in this transcript block of the interaction, including spaces and punctuation.
    blockId Unique numeric identifier for this block of the interaction.
