The Admin Portal offers a detailed queue dashboard to help administrators analyze and manage queue activity efficiently.
Access and Filter by Queue​
- Log in to the Admin Portal.
- Navigate to Dashboards > Queues.
- Select a queue from the dropdown in the right corner of the options bar.
The dashboard will display detailed statistics on queue activity:
Figure 1. Exploring the queue dashboard.
The statistics include:
- Incoming Calls: Total number of calls received (e.g.,
56
). - Missed Calls Rate: Percentage of calls missed (e.g.,
23%
). - Abandoned Calls: Total number of calls abandoned (e.g.,
13
). - Average Wait Time: Average time callers waited in the queue (e.g.,
00:01:12
). - Average Hold Time: Average hold time for calls (e.g.,
00:00:44
). - Queued Calls: Total number of calls currently in the queue (e.g.,
0
).- Max Wait Time: Longest wait time recorded (e.g.,
00:08:15
) - Max Hold Time: Longest hold time recorded (e.g.,
00:07:02
)
- Max Wait Time: Longest wait time recorded (e.g.,
- In-Progress Calls: Number of calls currently active (e.g.,
2
) - Timeout Calls: Total number of calls that exceeded the allowed wait time (e.g.,
0
)
Each metric provides valuable insights to monitor and improve queue performance, ensuring a seamless experience for callers.
Manage Queue Activity​
Below the main dashboard, admins can track and manage open queues by agents and calls. Each agent's activity includes detailed metrics to aid in monitoring their performance.
Agents​
This dashboard breaks down agent activity, helping admins assess their workload and efficiency:
-
Status: The agent's current availability (e.g., "Available", "On Call", "On Hold", etc.).
-
Avg Talk Time: Average time the agent spends talking on calls (e.g.,
00:03:25
). -
Total Talk Time: Cumulative time the agent has spent talking on calls (e.g.,
02:30:45
). -
Avg Hold Time: Average time the agent places calls on hold (e.g.,
00:01:05
). -
Total Hold Time: Cumulative time the agent has calls on hold (e.g.,
00:45:20
). -
Login Count: Number of times the agent has logged into the system (e.g.,
5
). -
Availability: Total time the agent is available to take calls (e.g.,
08:30:00
). -
In-Out-Missed: Incoming, outgoing, and missed call count (e.g.,
12 - 15 - 3
, that is12
incoming calls,15
outgoing calls, and3
missed calls).

Control Agent Status​
Admins can proactively manage agent status to maintain smooth operations and accountability. The following actions can be performed by clicking the corresponding icons:
-
: Sign agent in
-
: Sign agent out
-
: Pause activity
-
: Return to activity
This functionality helps ensure agents' statuses are accurately reflected, promoting effective communication and workflow.
New Whisper and Listen Features​
The Dashboards now include two powerful features—Whisper and Listen—designed to enhance real-time monitoring and interaction between admins and agents.
-
Whisper: This action allows admins to communicate privately with agents during active calls. The agent can hear the admin’s input, but the customer on the call cannot.
-
Listen: This action lets admins silently monitor an agent's active call without interrupting the conversation or notifying the agent.
To use these features:
-
Select an agent and click on the desired action (Whisper or Listen).
-
A confirmation prompt will appear. Confirm your action.
-
Upon success, a green confirmation message (e.g., "Success: The spy was sent") will appear.

These tools empower admins to support agents effectively, whether by offering real-time guidance or assessing call quality without disruption.
Calls​
Admins can monitor active calls and associated metrics to optimize performance and ensure customer satisfaction:
-
Status: The current status of the call (e.g., "In Progress", "Abandoned").
-
Agent: The name of the agent handling the call.
-
Number: The caller’s phone number.
-
Name: The caller’s line name.
-
Time: The date and time of the call (e.g.,
16/10/24 12:15 PM
). -
Wait: The caller’s wait time in the queue (e.g.,
00:01:42
). -
Duration: The total duration of the call (e.g.,
00:03:40
).
