Evaluation Filter

 

You must create a 'Filter' to be able to configure an 'Evaluation'. You can create a new 'Filter' from within the 'Evaluation Wizard' as well as from the 'Filter Management' page.

♣ Note: You can only modify ('Edit') an existing 'Filter' if it is not being used by an 'Evaluation'. As soon as you associate a 'Filter' with an 'Evaluation', the 'Filter' is locked and you cannot make any changes to the settingsThe only way to unlock a 'Filter' is to delete the 'Evaluation' it is associated with.

The 'Filter' comprises of the following pages of settings: 

Name - the name of the 'Filter' and its availability ('Public' or 'Private')

When - the period you want the 'Filter' to cover

Who - who's Call Recordings you want to include

Call Details - what 'Call Type' you want to include and 'Duration' settings

DDI Number - enables you to select a single 'DDI Number', multiple numbers or a range of numbers.

Sample Size - you select a percentage (randomly selected by the system) of the total number of Call Recordings that have been selected by the 'Filter'

Calculate Call Count - tells you the total number of calls the 'Filter' has selected enabling you to go back and modify the settings if needed

 

File 258To open the 'Filter Management' page you select 'Filter Management' from the record drop-menu...
File 259... which opens the 'Filter Management' page. To create a new 'Filter' you click the 'Create Filter' button which opens...

Name

File 260... the 'Filter Wizard'.

Once you have clearly named your new 'Filter' you must decide on its availability (see below).

File 261The 'Who can use this filter' drop-menu has two options: 

  • Private - only available to the logged on 'User' who created the 'Filter'
  • Public - available to anyone using the record X system.

When

File 262The next 'Filter Wizard' page is 'When'.

Clicking the icon on the right of the 'Date' field...

File 263... invokes a 'Calendar' menu allowing you to easily select the 'Start' and 'End' dates for the 'Filter'.

Who

File 264The check-box at the top of the 'Who' page (highlighted in the screen-shot) has been specifically provided for use in evaluations to provide an equal number of 'Call Recordings' for each 'Extension' being evaluated.

The second check-box only becomes active if you have selected the 'Equal number...' option. This facility ensures the 'Call Recordings' selected for an 'Evaluation' only includes calls where the selected 'Extension' is the last 'Participant' (this applies to calls which have been transferred and therefore have multiple participants).

Like its predecessor, the third check-box only activates if you have selected the 'Equal Number...' option. This allows you to only include calls where the selected 'Extension(s)' is the only participant in the call.

♣ Note: These three 'Filter' elements are only intended for use within an 'Evaluation' and will not work in the normal 'Search' view.

File 266By default, the 'Who' page will be set to 'All Extensions'. Clicking the down-arrow on the right of the field invokes a drop-menu enabling you to select either a 'Group' of 'Extensions' or single 'Extensions'.

If you wish to select specific 'Extensions' rather than a 'Group' or single 'Extension'...

File 267... the final field enables you to enter a single list of 'Extensions' you wish to select, separated by commas.

Call Details

File 268The next page enables you to select the 'Call Type' and 'Duration'.

File 269The 'Call Type' is selected from a drop-menu. The options are:

  • All Call Types
  • Outgoing
  • Incoming

File 270The remaining two fields enable you to set both the 'Minimum' and 'Maximum' durations for the calls to be included by the 'Filter'.

This feature allows you to screen out calls that  are either too short (no meaningful dialogue took place between the 'Agent' and the called party) or simply too long to be included in the 'Evaluation'.

DDI Number

File 271Unlike all the preceding 'Filters' that use drop-menus to select the various criteria options, 'DDI' is an entry field. It enables you to enter: 

  • Single 'DDI'
  • Multiple 'DDI's' - separated by commas with no spaces
  • Range - starting 'DDI' and finishing 'DDI' numbers separated by a dash with no spaces
  • Wildcard - using a '*' to represent the missing digits, e.g. '60702*' would return all the DDI's that start with those digits (607021, 607022, 607023, etc.).

Sample Size

File 272'Sample Size' enables you to select the percentage of 'Calls' you wish to include in the filtered results.

If you find the percentage you have selected produces too large a number of 'Calls' when you run the 'Calculate Call Count' feature, you can always return to this option and change the 'Filter' setting accordingly.

Calculate Call Count

File 273The final page of the 'Filter Wizard' is an invaluable tool, which allows you to check the number of 'Call Recordings' which would be selected for this 'Evaluation' based on the criteria you set within the 'Filter'. As you can see, for the 7-day period this 'Filter' covers, there are 60 calls which match the 'Filter' settings.
