ACD Metrics
This page provides you details of the different ACD metrics available in the Metric widgets.
% Abandoned
The % Abandoned metric calculates the percentage of abandoned calls from all queued calls. This metric measures efficiency or how effective the call-handling process is. A high abandonment rate may suggest long wait times, inadequate staffing, or inefficient call routing.
% Active Talk Time
The % Active Talk Time metric measures the percentage of time spent actively talking during a call in relation to the total handling time. The total handling time includes talk time, time on hold, and any after-call work.
