Interaction Analytics

Interaction Analytics is an intelligent linguistic analytics application. In other words, it converts contact center interactions into easily-understood data. Supervisors and managers can use this data to improve agent performance. Interaction Analytics allows you to view, filter, group, and search for different keywords and metrics in your interaction data. Familiarize yourself with key terms and metrics used in IA to learn how to use tools like categoriesClosed Data groups that Interaction Analytics uses for parsed call transcript data. They make it easier to find trends., workspacesClosed Named view of one or more widgets., and widgetsClosed Graphical representation of data that meets specified filter criteria.. Using these tools can help achieve your business goals to:

  • Reduce customer loss.

  • Improve agent efficiency.

  • Improve customer satisfaction.

Permissions in Interaction Analytics

Actions and permissions in Interaction Analytics are designed around three roles:

  • Data users need to see and use data and metrics from Interaction Analytics to drive positive outcomes. These users are often managers and supervisors in the contact center. They need the View permission. This lets them open datasets and filter the data. They can also read and use the widgets in their workspaces.
  • Data managers work with the data so that it's relevant and useful to the data users. They are often contact center managers or data analysts. These users need the Edit permission, which includes View plus the ability to add, edit, or create all settings of Interaction Analytics. These settings include creating and modifying datasets, viewing dataset categories, and configuring the company profile. They can also configure custom sentiment, corrections, and ignored phrases, and so on. However, they cannot create new categories.
  • Administrators perform more advanced configuration of Interaction Analytics. They are the main users of IA. They could be business intelligence experts, data scientists, or even contact center administrators. They may not know as much about what goes on in interactions, but will likely lead efforts to collect data for analysis and improvement. These users need the Admin permission. However, View and Edit permissions are not automatically granted when you give Admin access. View and Edit permissions need to be given to Administrators as well. They can create and manage workspaces and workspace sets so data users can view see the information they need, when they need it. Administrators are the only ones who can create and manage categories, category templates, and rules.

If you want users to be able to view and configure all areas of IA, do not assign them any of these permissions. To limit their ability to view and configure parts of IA, assign them permissions.

You can further limit the data users can see by teams or skillsClosed Used to automate delivery of interactions based on agent skills, abilities, and knowledge configured in your RBAC settings in the Admin application. Users not configured to view specific teams or skills can see all current data in IA for the tenantClosed High-level organizational grouping used to manage technical support, billing, and global settings for your CXone environment. If you use AutoDiscovery, you can also limit the data users can see based on teams or skills they are assigned to.
