What's new in the Analytics for 8x8 Work July 2026 release?

The July 2026 release of Analytics for 8x8 Workincludes the following new features and enhancements:

Active Calls report now shows simultaneous Ring Group alerting

You can now see how calls are distributed across Ring Group agents in real time using the Active Calls dashboard.

When an administrator configures simultaneous alerting, the Active Calls dashboard shows each alerted agent on its own row with its own Call ID. Once an agent answers, the report consolidates to a single row and updates to show that agent's name and extension.

This makes it easier to monitor Ring Group activity as it happens, including how calls fork, which agent answered, and how missed alerts are handled.

What you'll see

  • When a call enters a Ring Group with available agents. The Active Calls dashboard displays one parent call row and one child call row per alerted agent, each with an Alerting status. When an agent answers, the report updates to a single Talking row. Unanswered child calls are marked as missed and removed.

     Ring Group parent call forks to three alerting agents. The Active Calls report then updates to show a single TALKING row for the agent who answered

  • When no agents are available: The report displays only the parent call row with an Alerting status.

    The Active Calls report shows a single parent call row with an Alerting status when no Ring Group agents are available to answer

Where to find it

In 8x8 Work, go to Call Report > Active Calls.

To learn more, see Run the Active Calls Dashboard.

Run scheduled reports across all your PBXs at once

Organizations managing multiple PBXs can now generate a single scheduled report across all their systems, instead of running a separate report for each PBXClosedPrivate Branch Exchange—a private telephone network used within a company..

What's new

Scheduled reports now support cross-PBX reporting. When you create or edit a scheduled report, you can select one, several, or all of your PBXs.

  • Multi-PBX filter. Select one, some, or all of your PBXs when creating or editing a scheduled report.
  • One combined CSV file. All data appears in a single file with a PBX ID column that identifies which PBX each row belongs to. This column is mandatory, always visible, and applies to reports created before this release.
  • Aggregated PDF charts. Top departments, extensions, sites, and user groups now appear as aggregated totals across the selected PBXs.
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) support. Cross-PBX scheduled reports respect your RBAC permissions. If you do not have access to a particular PBX, it does not appear in your report.

Note: The RBAC feature is currently in Beta. To request activation, contact your 8x8 Account Manager.

What didn't change

This update does not affect your existing SKU or data retention policies. Your current scheduled reports continue to work as expected, and you can edit them at any time to include additional PBXs.

Note: This release is the first phase of cross-PBX analytics. 8x8 plans to expand this support to individual reports in future updates, based on customer feedback.

Limitations

Cross-PBX scheduled reports are available to users with the Analytics Essential role.

Scheduled reports for ring groups require the Analytics Supervisor role, which is part of the X4 license.

Ability to grant users access to a data subset based on their roles and permissions (Beta)

Note: This feature is currently In Beta. To request activation, contact your 8x8 Account Manager.

Analytics for 8x8 Work now enables customers to limit user access to reporting data based on roles (Analytics Supervisors and Essentials) and assignments (User Groups, Call Queues and Ring Groups) that an admin assigns through the Role-based Access Control (RBAC) in the 8x8 Admin Console. Users can only view specific analytics and recording data subsets. For example, supervisors can see recordings pertaining only to the groups they oversee and their associated members.

Moreover, new User Group-specific reporting is also available, organizing data according to User Groups created by admins in the 8x8 Admin Console. Previously, users had access to all PBX, Call Queue, and Ring Group data, while specific reports (Essentials or Supervisors) were restricted exclusively to users with particular licences.

Role-Based Access Control management

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in 8x8 Work manages user permissions for analytics and reporting data according to their roles (Analytics Supervisors and Essentials) and assignments (associated with User Groups, Call Queues, and Ring Groups), ensuring they can only access necessary information.

For example, one role might allow full access to all the analytics and recording data from Analytics for 8x8 Work, while another is restricted to a specific subset of data. RBAC now offers system-defined roles and the ability to create custom roles with specific scopes to cater to different needs.

Examples of use cases:

  • Business units operating independently within a global corporation - Supervisors from a unit that functions separately can access only data from their unit without access to information from other units.
  • Car dealership - The owners desire visibility across all brands; however, dealership A must not have access to analytics or recordings from dealership B.
  • Leadership privacy - To protect the confidentiality of sensitive data, allow access to call recordings without executive extensions for a specific user group.

Access control to the Analytics for 8x8 Work based on roles and permissions (Beta)

Note: This feature is currently in Beta. To access this feature, contact your .account representative.

As an 8x8 Work administrator, you can manage user access to reporting data based on predefined permissions and access groups.

You can grant full access or limit users to a specific access group, call queue, and/or ring group scope.

AdminnConsole - Grant full or limited access access Admin Console -  Assign a role with full access to the 8x8 Analytics for Work reports

Users can see various results depending on their full or limited access permissions. Restricted users can access less data than those with full access.

What's new in the Analytics for 8x8 Work May 2026 release?

In the May 2026 release of Analytics for 8x8 Work, we have introduced the following enhancements:

Per-user counts and totals in the Users table

The Call Queues dashboard Users table now includes an explanation of how calls are counted differently in per-user rows and the Totals row, along with a worked example and quick reference table.

Benefits

  • Per-user call counting guidance: The Call Queues dashboard Users table now includes an explanation of how calls are counted in per-user rows and the Totals row, along with a worked example and quick reference table.
  • Individual agent responsiveness metrics: Per-user Missed Calls and Rejected Calls data helps supervisors assess how individual agents respond when calls are offered to them.

The new content includes:

  • An explanation of how Offered Calls, Answered Calls, Rejected Calls, and Missed Calls are counted at the per-user level.
  • A worked example showing how a single call distributed across two users produces different values in per-user rows, the Totals row, and queue-level metrics.
  • Guidance on how to use per-user metrics to evaluate individual agent responsiveness and identify coaching opportunities.
  • A quick reference table summarizing what each view counts and how to interpret the results.

For details on how per-user counts and totals work, see Differences between per-user counts and totals in the Users table.

Call Queues report metrics updates

The Call Queues report includes the following updates in this release:

  • A new outcome metric, Diverted, has been introduced along with Diverted %.
  • Live Waiting metrics have been updated to record duration exclusively for calls actively in the Waiting state. Previously, waiting time reached a fixed accrued value and then added waiting time from other queued calls, only resetting once the call concluded. Now, wait time stops accumulating the moment a call leaves the Waiting state, providing supervisors with a more precise and realistic view of actual queue latency.

Benefits

  • Updated Call Queues metrics: The Call Queues report includes two new outcome metrics and revised Waiting metric behavior, with updated definitions for Completed, Missed, and Abandoned.

The following metrics have been removed from the historical Call Queues report:

  • Abandoned In Handling
  • Abandoned In Handling %
  • Rejected
  • Rejected %

The definitions of the following metrics have been updated to reflect these changes:

  • Completed
  • Missed
  • Abandoned

The live call time accumulation behavior section has also been updated to reflect the revised Waiting metric behavior.

To learn more, see Glossary: Queues metrics; Real-Time widgets, and Glossary: Real-time widgets metrics.
