Access Call Flow

8x8 Contact Center Customer Experience Call Flow diagram shows each call's journey from the time it enters the contact center until the time the call is terminated. The event information is represented by Icons.

Call Flow also tracks multiple call legs in the customer experience. Multiple transaction IDs displayed for a single interaction means that the customer call was involved in multiple legs of communications. This may include multiple agents or queues along the call path.

Call Flow provides three visual views of the call journey from the time it arrives in 8x8 Contact Center until the time it is terminated:

• Call Detailed View: Presents the end-to-end customer interaction, a detailed call analysis of a customer call going through different phases such as: the time an inbound call comes into the system and answered by 8x8 Contact Center, the time the IVR script is applied to the call, when the call is forwarded to a queue, and the amount of time the call spends in the queue until the call is terminated. You can collapse or expand the IVR events by clicking + or - next to the IVR icon. Collapsing the IVR events allows the call center managers to focus more on an agent's call interactions in a Call Flow.
• Call Timeline: Is an interaction recording presenting a linear view of the call journey. When you Play the timeline recording, it highlights the IVR events depicted by Call Flow icons in the order the call was processed through the system. Individual timeline rows are displayed for agents and the caller on separate lines as well as for the inbound leg, agent leg, and customer leg of the calls.
• Call Duration: The Call Duration shows a pie chart with duration time data for the call being viewed. The Call Flow pie chart shows a call's time break-down. The pie chart is read clockwise, and follows the coloring of the legend: IVR Treatment Time, Wait Time in QueueA queue is an ordered collection of interactions waiting to be served by agents qualified to respond to these interactions. In addition to enabling the call center administrator to customize how incoming interactions are prioritized and routed, queues also ensure that interactions are never lost or discarded., Hold time, Mute Duration, Handling Time, and Application Processing Time. The Application Processing Time is the total time of a call minus other times spent for IVR treatment, wait time in queue, etc. during a call.

The following table shows the top row legend in the Call Flow diagram that presents critical information pertaining to the call and related queues:
