Conversation Activity

The conversation activity table is the bread and butter of real-time monitoring.

You can see all conversations currently assigned to an agent. You can sort content by performance metrics to provide you with the view that is most relevant to your needs. Live Insights automatically refreshes performance data every 15 seconds.

  3. Sorting: You can sort the content by each of the metrics captured for each conversation. You can sort all columns in ascending/descending order. To sort, click the column header. Click the header again to reverse the sorting order. Default: Ascending by time assigned.
  4. Conversations: Each conversation currently assigned to an agent displays as a row in the Conversation Activity table. Metrics associated with the conversation display and update dynamically.
  5. Metric highlighting: Metrics that have assigned thresholds are highlighted. See ‘Metrics Highlighting’ for more information.
  6. Alerts: When an event is recorded, it displays in the column. Not all conversations will include an event.
