136 Available Data
The ICR also tracks the total amount of time agents in a skill group
spend in specific states. For each specific state, time is recorded to track
how long agents are in the particular state. In addition, time spent in
certain states is tracked more generally in time allocation categories such
as Talk Time and Handle Time.
The following list further explains the agent time allocations shown in
Table 10.
Available Time. The time agents spend in the Logged On, Ready,
and Available states.
Reserved Time. The time agents spend in the Reserved state.
Busy Other Time. The time agents spend in the Busy Other state.
Talk Time. The time agents spend in the Talking In, Talking Out,
and Talking Other states.
Talking Other Time. The time agents spend in the Talking Other
state. (Also counted in the general category of Talk Time.)
Talking Out Time. The time agents spend in the Talking Out state.
(Also counted in the general category of Talk Time.)
Talking In Time. The time agents spend in the Talking In state.
(Also counted in the general categories of Talk Time and Handle
Time.)
Hold Time. The time agents spend in the Hold state. (Also rolled
into the general category of Handle Time.)
Work Ready Time. The time agents spend in the Work Ready state.
(Also rolled into the general category of Handle Time.)
Work Not Ready Time. The time agents spend in the Work Not
Ready state. (Also rolled into the general category of Handle Time.)
Not Ready Time. The time agents spend in the Not Ready state.
Handle Time. The time agents spend in the Talking In, Hold, Work
Ready, and Work Not Ready states. Handle time does not include
the time agents spend in the Talking Out or Talking Other states.
Logged On Time. The time that an agent was Logged On.
Note: Not Ready Time and Logged On Time are not explicitly displayed in
Monitor ICR reports. However, they are used in calculating other data
such as Percent Utilization of agents. See “Percent Utilization,” later in
this section, for an example of how Not Ready time and Logged On
Time are used to calculate overall agent utilization.
