Overview
The Interaction Segments data source is one of several data sources available for creating reports in App. To learn more about data sources in general, please see: Overview: Data sources for reports (App).
An interaction segment is a portion of an interaction. The system automatically divides interactions into segments. Each segment represents a stage of the interaction’s life.
For example, when a user answers, transfers, or wraps-up an interaction, the system creates a new segment to record information specific to that stage of the interaction.
With the Interaction Segments data source, you can create reports that show each segment of an interaction so you can closely examine your team’s performance within a specific, individual interaction.
You can use this data source to retrieve information like:
How long has an interaction been in various statuses?
How long did an interaction have to wait to be answered by a user?
What was the path, or exact status changes, for each segment of an interaction?
This article provides common use cases for the data source and a list of its tables.
Use case
The most commonly created report with this data source is an interaction segment report.
Interaction segment reports are how you view all of the individual segments of an interaction in chronological order. This is useful information when you want to follow the full path of the interaction to better understand its full progression.
This type of report is especially useful when you need to see who was rung on an interaction and in what order. It’s also useful to see how users responded to an interaction that rang.
You can use this type of report to see if they accepted the interaction, rejected it, ignored it, or took no action (a “clear” event).
An interaction segment report is also useful for reviewing each status change of an interaction, like when it moved from “Creating” status to “Pending” status and so on, to see when this status change happened and what was the status right before it. This helps better investigate what happened with the interaction.
