The ICR tracks the number of agents in each state in Skill Group
real-time database records. To obtain historical counts of the number of
agents in particular states, the ICR saves a snapshot of the real-time data
and stores the data in skill group five-minute records. These five-minute
summary records are stored in the ICR central database.
1 Talk Time is the sum of Talking In Time, Talking Out Time, and Talking
