    Introduction

    The purpose of this manual is to provide a description of all commands available in PresenceSupervisor. Contact Center coordinators and supervisors use Presence Supervisor to controlthe productivity of the services and agents. In some instances it is assumed that you arefamiliar with the basic concepts of a Contact Center such as a service, the predictive outboundmode, a contact, etc. For more in-depth knowledge of those concepts, refer to the PresenceAdministrator Manual.

    Presence Supervisor allows you to monitor the statuses of the inbound or outbound services(calls, agents' statuses, etc.), carry out movements in the outbound queues, control theoutbound records in real-time, monitor schedules and invalid contacts, generate reports,enable and disable loads, send notices to the agents and much more.

    When running Presence Supervisor, the application tries to connect to the configured (orselected) Presence Server. If no connection can be established because Presence Server hasnot started or because it is not possible to connect to Presence Server, Presence Supervisorreports the corresponding error and does not start.

    The functionality available from Presence Supervisor is subject to the modules installed in thePresence system. For instance, if the Messaging module is not purchased along with thePresence system, the Mail option is not activated and, therefore, all this functionality isdisabled.

    Please, bear in mind that the availability of outbound services is subject to the Presencelicense purchased.

    Monitors

    Queue statusThe Queue status monitor displays the total number of records in each of the 'Initial','Scheduled', and 'Invalid' statuses of the selected service. For more information on thestatuses of records, refer to the Presence Administrator Manual.

    Be aware that the total records in each of the previously mentioned statuses will only beshown for the currently enabled loads.

    Running the Queue status command displays the list of the currently enabled outboundservices:

    Selecting an outbound service

    Select the service for which you want to monitor the queue status, and click the OK button.The following window is displayed:

    Presence Technology

    Queue status monitor

    As you can see, the total number of records of the enabled load in each one of the 'Initial','Scheduled', and 'Invalid' statuses are displayed.

    The Refresh field allows you to specify the time (in seconds) to elapse before the informationof the monitor will be refreshed. The minimum time interval is 60 seconds. To force a refresh,click the Refresh icon at any time.

    Service statusThe Service status monitor displays information about the status of the agents and thecontacts for a specific service.

    Running the Service status command displays the list of the enabled inbound and outboundservices. Select the desired service, and click OK. The following window is displayed:

  • Monitors 9

    Presence Technology

    Service status monitor (predictive/progressive mode)

    As said above, this monitor displays the data of the different contact and agent statuses, aswell as the graphical representation of the output data.

    It is possible to modify the outbound type from the service status monitor itself. This isapplicable to progressive or predictive outbound services only. The parameters displayed inthe monitor are as follows:

    Contact probability: Probability of contacting a customer. This is the ratio between thenumber of calls answered by the customer and the total number of calls made by thesystem, i.e., the probability to make a successful call (i.e., the customer picks up thephone).

    Automatic prediction: This parameter indicates whether the prediction has been set toAutomatic (predictive algorithm), i.e. enabled or disabled. In case this option is enabled,you cannot select any option from the Outbound type field. Instead, an informative labelreporting the outbound type associated to the service is displayed. The Concurrent callsoption displays the number of calls the system is making concurrently to find a newcontact. For further information on the automatic prediction type, refer to Outbound,Service parameters.

    Outbound type: This parameter allows you to select the following items: Progressiveand Prediction by time. The Prediction by time type displays the Contact probability and the Automatic

    prediction fields. The provided blank field allows you to set a value for the seconds thesystem must wait before generating a new predictive call. The Concurrent calls optiondisplays the number of calls the system is making concurrently to find a new contact.

    Changes to any of the above mentioned outbound types will take effect when you click the Apply button.

    Contacts in progress (outbound service in predictive/progressive mode): Contactswhose call has been initiated by the switch, which will either be picked up by a customeror will be invalid.

    Queued contacts: Contacts that have been queued in the skill and are now pending tobe serviced by an agent.

    Ringing contacts: Contacts that were transferred to an agent so that the agent'stelephone is ringing at this moment and waiting to be answered.

    Contacts answered: Contacts that are currently being answered by an agent. Contacts in ACW: Contacts that were terminated by hanging up and for which the

    agents are now in after-call work status (ACW) in order to complete the handling andqualification process.

    Agents: Available agents: Agents who are available and waiting to receive a contact to handle. Agents in a call: Agents who are currently answering a contact (via telephone, mail,

    Agents in other: Agents who are currently servicing a contact or who are in after-callwork status (ACW), yet for another service than the one being monitored.

    The Refresh field is used to specify the time (in seconds) to elapse before the information ofthe monitor will be refreshed. The minimum time interval is 30 seconds. To force a refresh,click the Refresh icon at any time.

    ServicesThe Services monitor displays information about the status of the contacts and the agents forall selected services. Data for each status are broken down by totals and maximum times.

    Running the Services command displays the list of the enabled inbound and outboundservices. You may select as many enabled services as you wish to monitor. Press the OKbutton. The following window is displayed:

    ringing at this moment and waiting to be answered. Answered: Contacts that are currently being answered by an agent. ACW: Contacts that were terminated by hanging up and for which the agents are now in

    after-call work status (ACW) in order to complete the handling and qualification process.

    For each of the above items, the monitor displays the total number of contacts (Total) andthe maximum time (Max. T) spent in each status.

    Agents: Available agents [Available a.]: Agents who are available and waiting to receive a

    contact to handle. Agents in other [A. in other]: Agents who are currently servicing a contact or who are

    Outbound

    Service parametersThe following section describes how to display and modify some of the operating parametersof an outbound service from Presence Supervisor.

    To modify the parameters of an outbound service, run the Services command from theOutbound drop-down sidebar. Next, the list of outbound services is displayed. Select theservice to modify:

    Outbound services

    The service parameters screen is divided into the following tabs: Maximums, Schedule,Outbound type (available for progressive and predictive outbound services only) and Other.

    Maximums

  • Outbound 27

    Presence Technology

    Maximum values of an outbound service

    This tab is used to specify the different outbound maximum values associated to the service.For more information about maximum values, refer to the Outbound services, Configuration,Maximums section of the Presence Administrator Manual.

    Schedule

    This tab is divided into two sections: Invalid and Scheduled.

    Scheduling intervals for records qualified with the 'Invalid' code

    The Invalid tab is used to specify the time interval that must elapse before the systemretries to call an outbound record with an 'Invalid' qualification code. This time interval is setindividually for each qualification code.

  • Presence Supervisor Manual28

    Presence Technology

    General scheduling intervals

    The Scheduled tab is used to configure the general parameters to schedule records, i.e.,the time interval until the scheduled records expire as well as the default schedulinginterval. Additionally, the time intervals set for the custom scheduled qualification codes canbe modified. It is important to bear in mind that the rescheduling is performed while alwaysrespecting the predefined scheduling hours for the service and customer.

    For more information about the intervals of invalid records and concerning the scheduledrecords, refer to the Outbound services, Configuration, Schedule section of the PresenceAdministrator Manual. To know more about how to create custom scheduled qualificationcodes, refer to the Common service options, Qualification codes section of that samemanual.

    Outbound type

    Outbound types of an outbound service

  • Outbound 29

    Presence Technology

    An outbound service may be configured so that the system makes calls in a number ofdifferent modes, such as the progressive and predictive modes. Using these modes isconditional to the service type (either progressive or predictive) previously defined fromPresence Administrator and to the Presence license purchased. In case the correspondinglicenses have been purchased, this tab will display both modes:

    Progressive: In this outbound service mode, Presence Server generates the calls throughprogressive dialing via the specified CTI link. The call is generated only when the contacthandling has been finished and the agent status is back to available, so that a one-to-onerelationship between an agent and a call is possible in this mode. Therefore, the numberof calls can never be higher than the number of agents for the service. The system onlytransfers the call to the agent if it is answered on the other end, so that only usefulcontacts are transferred to the agents, thereby optimizing their productivity. Contacts with'Busy signal', 'No answer', 'Answering machine' and the rest of invalid records are nottransferred to the agents, and the system automatically assigns the appropriatequalification code to them.

    Predictive: In this outbound service mode, Presence Server generates the calls throughpredictive dialing via the specified CTI link. The call is anticipated before the contacthandling has been finished and the agent status is back to available, so that a highernumber of calls than the number of agents available for the service is possible in thismode. The system only transfers the call to the agent if it is answered on the other end, sothat only useful contacts are transferred to the agents, thereby optimizing theirproductivity time. Contacts with 'Busy signal', 'No answer', 'Answering machine' and therest of invalid records are not transferred to the agents, and the system automaticallyassigns the appropriate qualification code to them. When selecting this mode, thefollowing parameters need to be specified:

    Prediction by: Predictive outbound mode. Two options are available: Time andAutomatic.

    Time: A new predictive call is generated by the system when the specified time haselapsed after a call is received by an agent. An estimation of the value to be enteredmay be based on the average total time required by the agents to handle a call (talktime plus after-call-work time). The Number of concurrent calls option allows youto specify the number of calls the system must make concurrently to find a newcontact. The default value is 1.

    Automatic: The operation of the automatic prediction is based on theimplementation of a predictive algorithm. The calculations carried out by thisalgorithm are based upon two intervals: the current interval and the last validinterval. A valid interval is any interval which the algorithm identifies as reliablestatistical data (for instance, a night shift interval with no agents connected to theservice is not an interval which the algorithm identifies as valid). The predictivealgorithm internally calculates the outbound mode, alternating the use of theProgressive and Predictive by Time modes.

    NOTE: It is recommended that agents connected to a service configured inautomatic predictive mode work exclusively for that service. That is, theyshould not be simultaneously connected to other services (blending).Otherwise, the handling of contacts from other services may interfere withthe statistics calculated by the predictive algorithm, and thus have anegative effect on the service productivity.

    The operation in Progressive mode is applicable under the following scenarios:1. When the number of agents involved in a service is lower than 15.2. For the first interval after enabling the automatic prediction, provided that no

  • Presence Supervisor Manual30

    Presence Technology

    default values have been set for the interval.For scenarios other than the above mentioned, the algorithm works in Prediction byTime mode.

    In the Prediction by Time mode, the algorithm calculates in real-time the predictivedialing time and the number of concurrent calls. This is intended to achievemaximum productivity and generate the lowest possible number of queued calls,while considering the available time parameter set for the agent.

    The algorithm configuration parameters are described below:

    Interval time: This parameter allows you to specify a time value during whichthe predictive algorithm accumulates statistical data. The default value is set to1200 seconds. The minimum value you need to specify for this field is 600seconds. You should bear in mind the following:1. Setting a short interval value provides a quicker response to sudden changes

    of the system, but the calculation of statistical data is less reliable.2. Setting a long interval value provides a slower response to sudden changes of

    the system, but the calculation of statistical data is more reliable.

    Agent availability time: This is the time you wish the agent to remain availablebetween the end of the call handling and the time when a new call is received bythe agent. This parameter allows the user to specify how long the agent mustremain in the 'Available' status. The default value is 20 seconds.

    Maximum number of concurrent calls: This option allows you to specify themaximum number of calls the system must make concurrently to find a newcontact. The algorithm will never make a number of calls higher than the numberset as the maximum value. The default value is 5. The minimum value is 1.

    Default values for the interval. The parameters available under this group boxallow you to set average start values when the predictive algorithm is enabled fora predictive service.

    Contact probability: Probability of contacting a customer. This is the ratiobetween the number of calls answered by the customer and the total numberof calls made by the system, i.e., the probability to make a successful call (thecustomer picks up the phone).

    Handling time: Average contact handling time. This is the average timespent by the agents in handling a contact, from the beginning to the end ofthe handling process. This time is obtained by adding the agent talk time plusthe after-call work time.

    Classification time: Average call classification time. This is the time elapsedfrom the moment the switch receives a call until it detects whether the call isanswered by a customer or it is an invalid record ('Busy signal', 'No answer','Answering machine', 'Fax', 'Invalid generic reason', etc.).

    Other

  • Outbound 31

    Presence Technology

    Other parameters of an outbound service

    This tab is used to configure several outbound service parameters:

    The Alternate queues option is used to specify how many initial records are to beinserted into invalid records. This option allows you to prioritize initial records over invalidrecords. For more information about this parameter, refer to the Outbound services,Configuration, Queues section of the Presence Administrator Manual.

    When the Detect answering machine and fax option is enabled, the system tries todetect automatic answering machines and fax machines. Calls answered by answeringmachines are qualified as invalid calls with "Answering machine" and "Fax" status and arenot delivered (routed) to the agents.

    The No. of rings for 'No answer' parameter is used to specify how many rings have tosound before the system considers a call as 'No answer'.

    Queue movementsQueue movements are performed when you want to modify manually the lifecycle of theoutbound records. Normally, outbound records have the 'Initial' status when they are loaded inthe service. As the records are contacted in the course of the service and before they arecompleted their status changes to 'Invalid record', 'Scheduled' or 'Maximum'. By means ofqueue movements you can revert records in the 'Invalid', 'Scheduled' or 'Maximum' statusback to the 'Initial' status. Also, records can be moved between loads or services.

    The specific outbound service may be either enabled or disabled; the system allows queuemovements in both cases. However, it is recommended to perform queue movements duringproduction downtimes, because moving great numbers of records may have a significantnegative impact on the system performance which in turn affects the agents connected to thesystem via Presence Agent.

    Presence Supervisor provides only a limited set of basic queue movements. The complete setof movements is available in Presence Administrator. For more information about queuemovements, refer to the Outbound services, Queues section of the Presence AdministratorManual.

  • Presence Supervisor Manual32

    Presence Technology

    To perform a queue movement, run the Queues command from the Outbound drop-downsidebar, and select the service to which to apply the movement. The service may be eitherenabled or disabled. After selecting the service, a window appears where you can chooseamong the following three movements: Maximums to initial records, Invalid to initialrecords, and Scheduled to initial records.

    These movements allow you to specify whether you want the captured records to be includedin the movement or not, provided the call capturing option is enabled for the selected service.When the Apply movement to captured records option is selected, the queue movementtakes all outbound records of the selected loads into account, regardless of whether they arecaptured records or not. When this option is not selected, the movement only takes outboundrecords into account that are not captured.

    All queue movements have also the Restart maximum counters checkbox, that allows youto automatically restart the maximum counters of the records affected by the appliedmovement. Checking this box resets the maximum counters and the counting process startsover again. By default, this option is enabled.

    Finally, all three available queue movement types allow to perform a movement on a single,on various or on all enabled loads of the selected service. The movement definition includesthe Apply only to the following loads option which allows this behavior. If this option is notselected, the system applies the queue movement to all enabled loads of the service. Whenthis option is selected, all enabled loads of the service are displayed so that you can specify towhich load(s) the movement should be applied.

    Maximum to initial records

    Invalid to initial records

    Invalid to initial records

    This movement is used to set back to the initial status those records that have been markedas invalid when last called.

    The Invalid records group box includes eight options: Busy signal, No answer,Answering machine, Fax, Invalid generic reason, Abandoned call, Dropped call andPhone no. does not exist. These are the eight types of invalid records that the Presencesystem can handle. The invalid to initial records movement will be applied to the types ofinvalid records that you select here.

    Scheduled to initial records

  • Presence Supervisor Manual34

    Presence Technology

    Scheduled to initial records

    This movement is used to set back to the initial status those records that have beenscheduled manually by the agents from Presence Agent.

    This movement provides support for time zones, therefore the date fields used asparameters are based on the time zone set for the user of the Presence Supervisor session.

    The Scheduled record data group box contains the options Apply to period and Apply totime frame.

    When the Apply to period option is checked, you can specify a start date in the Startparameter for filtering the scheduled records to be moved. When the End option is alsochecked, you can specify an end date. In that case, only scheduled records with a scheduleddate falling within the range specified by the Start and End date will be moved. Whenspecifying a Start date with no End date, only records that were scheduled for a date laterthan the specified one will be moved.

    When the Apply to time frame option is selected, you can use the Start time and Endtime parameters to specify a time period for filtering the scheduled records to be moved.

    Finally, if custom scheduled qualification codes have been set for the outbound service inPresence Administrator, the Custom qualification codes group box will be displayed.Within this option either all or some of the qualification codes can be selected to filter thescheduled records when applying the movement. If the service has previously had customqualification codes that no longer exist, these records will be included in the Scheduledoption when performing the movement. For services that do not have custom scheduledqualification codes, all scheduled records will be moved regardless of the code they werequalified with.

    the period of time elapsed from the agent's starting Presence Agent and logging in to theapplication in order to connect to the system until exiting the application.

    Work time: Agent's total work time in the service. Work time includes the period of timethat elapses between the agent's starting the work session in Presence Agent by clickingthe Start button until stopping the session by clicking the Stop button. The work time isdetermined by adding the times spent by the agent in the service with either of thestatuses 'Available', 'Talking', 'ACW', and 'Other'.

    Contacts: Total number of (both useful and non-useful) contacts that were answered bythe agent.

    Useful contacts [Useful C.]: Number of useful contacts answered by the agent. Useful contacts per hour of connection time [UC/h (connec. t.)]: Number of useful

    contacts answered by the agent per hour connected. This number is calculated by dividingthe number of answered useful contacts by the connection time.

    Useful contacts per hour of work time [UC/h (work t.)]: Number of useful contactsanswered by the agent per hour of work. This number is calculated by dividing the numberof answered useful contacts by the work time.

    Useful positive contacts [Positive UC]: Number of useful positive contacts answeredby the agent.

    Conversion: Percentage of useful positive contacts relative to the number of usefulcontacts.

    Useful positive contacts per hour of connection time [+UC/h (connec. t.)]:Number of useful positive contacts answered by the agent per hour connected. Thisnumber is calculated by dividing the number of answered useful positive contacts by theconnection time.

    Presence Technology

    The parameters Useful contacts per hour and Useful positive contacts per hour provideinformation about the performance of the agents relative to either connection or work time.The Useful contacts per hour may increase mainly because the agent limits the call durationfor each contact to a minimum so that a higher number of contacts may be serviced per timeunit. The Useful positive contacts per hour may increase mainly because the agentmanages to complete more useful contacts with a positive qualification code. Useful positivecontacts are contacts completed (closed) with a service-specific qualification code that wasdefined as positive in Presence Administrator.

    The evaluation of the contacts per hour chart may help to optimize the range of the servicesprovided in the different time frames throughout the day. Due to holidays and bank holidays,seasonal changes, climatic variations, etc., the boundary conditions for productivity may varywhich is why it is recommended to monitor those parameters continually.

    Contacts per day chartThe Contacts per day chart report displays by means of a graphic visualization the numberof contacts handled per day within the specified period of time. This report is used to evaluatewhich days provide the highest productivity rates of an outbound service.
