Real time or Historical Report?

If you think about reporting there is a fine line that separates a "real time" display from a "historical" record. It would also be wise to say "near real time" as even the mechanic of displaying data takes some small amount of time. So then, where is the line that separates realtime from historical? The answer for Dextr Flex, is the time stamp issued when the call is terminated. Below we describe both the revised Activity Reporting and the recently released "historical reporting" with video presentations of both.

Dextr Flex Historical Reporting

Dextr Flex offers a fully featured Historical Reporting Engine complete with Scheduling, Exporting and Delivery Options.

Exporting can be CVS files that can be imported into most other data manipulation tools including Excel and Numbers. Delivery options include email with PDF attachments.

Report Creation and Options

Creating a new report enables setting a name for your report and the choosing the date range, the queue and the channels (voice, sms, email, chat, announcements), The reporting engine contains a custom "query" language, but there are a range of pre-configured search criteria that you can select for your report to include. Generally you will select a channel, one or all channels, a date range and then apply your report filters.

Call Quality Reporting

For the voice engineers out there, troubleshooting gets a bit easier with MOS reporting. Calls are now tagged with a MOS score and you can now search for calls with below target scores. This enables you to work through those complaints that we all get from time to time with no more detail than "it sounded bad". Pick the exact call by searching for MOS and obtain the related CDR data, makes troubleshooting complaints a bit more detailed!

Dextr Flex Revised Activity Reporting

Dextr has always had an activity screen. If you are an Agent you see your Activity and if you are a Supervisor or Team lead you see all activity of your team members. Previously you would bring up the activity screen and it was all listed chronologically. Filters existed for all the usual Call Detail Records (CDR) and included dynamic segmentation by Agent, Queue, Date, Disposition Code, Direction. Drilling down on an an Activity exposes all the related information regarding caller (contactID), queues, agent and contact attributes.

Dextr Flex enables LENS "keyword" search!

With the inclusion of Amazon Connect LENS technology in the Dextr dashboard, being able to "keyword" search the transcription became a mandate. To enable this functionally Dextr Flex created a new "query " language which also provides prepared queries but also enables custom searches.

Revised Activity Presentation

Dextr now expects you to set the Date, Channel and Search Criteria to pull back the Activity you are looking to review. Selecting a search criteria enables you to quickly learn the query language. Not selecting a search criteria beyond that of selecting a channel will bring back all the activity for that channel unfiltered, though you can then apply filters like queue and agent.
