- Average call length (completed calls): The average call length of all the completed calls.
- Average hold time (completed calls): The average time the caller had to wait in line before his call was answered by a queue agent.
- Average hold time (abandoned calls): The average time spent by callers in the queue before abandoning the call.

Search statistics for a time interval
If you want to visualize the statistics for a certain time interval, you can define its limits using search controls:
Show statistics between <start_date> and <end_date> Stats display <representation>
Where:
- <start_date>: Use the available text box or the calendar icon to specify the starting date of the time interval you want the graphics and the statistics to be displayed for. The format must be yyyy-mm-dd. Default: the first day of the current month.
- <end_date>: Use the available text box or the calendar icon to specify the ending date of the time interval you want the graphics and the statistics to be displayed for. The format must be yyyy-mm-dd. Default: the current date.
- <representation>: Choose if you want the statistics to be displayed:
- Default - The statistics will be displayed as presented above.
- Hourly - The statistics will be displayed for all 24 hours, showing, for example, the total number of calls answered by the queue agents between 1 and 2 o'clock or the average length of the calls completed between 10 and 11 o'clock.
- Daily - The statistics will be displayed for all the 31 days of a month, showing, for example, the total number of calls answered by the queue agents on the 12th or the average length of the calls completed on the 3rd.
- Weekly - The statistics will be displayed for all the 7 days of the week, showing, for example, the total number of calls answered by the queue agents on all the Mondays in the defined time interval or the average length of the calls completed on all the Fridays in the specified time frame.
- Monthly - Depending on the length of the defined time interval, if you select this option, the statistics will be displayed on a monthly basis.
If you select one of the last 4 options, you will be able customize your graphics using the extra controls displayed on their left:
Plot graph with: Use the available drop-down list to select how you wish the graphic to be drawn:
- Lines - This representation helps you visualize the selected criterion's trend, for example how the number of answered calls variated over the last week.
- Stacked bars - This graphic is used to compare the parts to the whole. The bars in a stacked bar graph are divided into categories. Each bar represents a total. For example, a bar could represent the total calls answered in a day, while its colored parts are the total calls ended by agent, by caller or transferred to other extensions.
- Multiple bars - This graphic contains comparisons of two or more categories or bars. This representation is useful because reading a multiple bar graph includes looking at extremes (tallest/longest vs. shortest) in each group, so you will be able to keep an eye on the hourly/daily/weekly/monthly variation of the parameters you are most interested in.
Show plotted data
- Yes - The tables under the graphics will be displayed.
- No - The tables under the graphics will not be displayed.
Show values - This option is enabled only if the graphic is either Lines or Multiple bars.
- Yes - The values will be displayed in the graphic as well.
- No - The values are not displayed in the graphic.
After you have decided on the time interval and on how you want the statistics to be displayed, click the Search link. The graphics will be updated.
The time interval's limits specified here will be used through all the other tabs.
If there were no calls between the selected dates, then the graphics will not be generated!
