Live Agent Insights for Skills
If your skill is configured for live agent transfer, you can compare the number of conversations that it routed to its agent hand-off flow to the conversations that were handled by its other flows.
Using these metrics, you can gauge the skill's deflection rat by comparing the number of conversations it handled against the number of conversations that ended up getting diverted to agent hand off flows (the sequence of Agent Initiation and Agent Conversation states that initiate the agent channel hand off and manage the skill-agent conversation, respectively). Depending on the dialog flow definition, live agent chats can either be explicitly requested by the user, or requested by the skill on the user's behalf (or both).
Note:
Insights reporting, through its Skill and Live Agent handlers, covers all of the communication between the end user, the skill, and the live agent. This is not the case for DA as Agent conversations, where Insights only covers the conversation up until the chat has been transferred to the live agent. For full reporting on DA as Agent conversations, use Oracle Fusion Service Analytics.![The Handler filter. The Handler filter.](img/insights_handler_filter.png)
Tip:
Instrument your skill with custom metrics to add detail to the live agent reporting.Review the Deflection Rate
From the Overview report, you can access the Deflection Rate charts by selecting
Skill from the Handler menu. In this section of the Overview
report, Insights tracks the conversations that the skill deflected from the live agent
as a donut chart that's segmented by skill- and agent-handled conversations and as a
trend line chart that plots the conversations over time. Clicking an arc on the donut
chart opens the Conversations report filtered by agent or skill.

Live Agent Conversation Metrics for Skills
You can access these metrics by selecting Live Agent
from the Handler filter (which only displays when you filter the report by a date or
date range that includes live agent transfer conversations).

Live Agent Conversation Metrics
- Total number of conversations – The total number of conversations for the selected time period and channel that include both conversations that requested a live agent and conversations where no live agent was requested.
- Conversations handled by live agent – The total number of conversations with live agent requests.
- Conversations handled by skills – The total number of conversations (either complete or incomplete) with no live agent requests.
- Conversations resolved by skill – The number of conversations that completed (that is, the dialog traversed to the exit state) with no live agent requests.
- Conversations abandoned while waiting for live agent - The number of conversations where users were never handed off to a live agent, despite having requested one. Conversations can be considered abandoned when users never connect with live agents, possibly because they've left the conversation or were timed out.
- Deflection Rate – The percentage of conversations, which is calculated as the tally of Conversations Resolved by Skill divided by the tally for the Total Number of Conversations.
- Number of users that were transferred to a human agent – The total number of users (unique and otherwise) who were transferred to a user agent.
- Number of unique users that were transferred to a human
agent – The total number of unique users (a group that may
include returning users) who were transferred to a live agent. To gauge skill
usability, you can compare this metric, which may include returning users, to
the number tallied by the Total number of conversations.
Live Agent Handle/Wait Times
- Average Duration of Skill Conversations – The average number of seconds that users have spent having conversations as calculated by adding up the total amount of time from the start to the end of each conversation by the total number of conversations.
- Average Duration of Live Agent – The average number of seconds that users spent on conversations that were routed to a live agent. This amount of time, which is typically longer than the Average Duration of Skill Conversations, is calculated by adding up the total amount of time spent on all live agent conversations divided by the Conversations Handled by Live Agent tally.
- Average Wait Time for the Live Agent – The average number of seconds that the users had to wait in the queue before they were eventually connected to an agent.
