  • Some reports may not be available to all users. As such, you may not see them in your system.
  • You may have access to reports that are not documented here because they were custom made for your organization.


Template Layout

This section explains the general layout of report templates. The Common Parameters section, describes parameters that appear in many report templates. These sections are followed by the Templates section, a catalogue of all of the report templates, with descriptions of each report and additional information about the reports. When specific templates use significantly different layouts and parameters from the most common ones explained below and in the Common Parameters section, they are explained in the Templates section in the description of the relevant report template.

The report templates in SpeechMiner have a maximum of three rows of parameters, each row dealing with different functions in the report. In addition, most report templates have a Data Set filter section on the left side of the screen. The layouts of most templates are similar to the Agent Comparison template shown below.

In this section, we will explain the layout of report templates using the Agent Comparison template as an example, since it has the most common layout of parameters you will encounter.

Template Rows

The following rows appear on the right side of the template:

First Row

Contains controls for working with report results (see Creating a Custom Report), followed by the Template field, in which you can select the type of report, and the Report Name field, which you can use to name the report. If you choose to save the report parameters as a saved report (see Managing Saved Reports), the Report Name is used to identify it in the system.

Second Row

Contains fields for defining the report title and an optional report description. These items are displayed at the top of the report results. By default, the name of the report template is used as the report title, but you can modify it as necessary. Some templates also have a Version parameter in this row. If so, you can use this parameter to select the size or format of the report output.

Third Row

Contains the Items on Report parameters - the fields that determine which items will appear graphically on the report. In some reports, one or more of the parameters may also have statistical functions.

Data Set Filters

The left side of most report templates contains the Data Set filters. These filters specify which data will be included in the report's analyses. For information about the filters and how to configure them, see Common Parameters.

When you are not configuring the Data Set filters, you can hide the left panel of the screen if you wish.

To hide or show the Data Set filter panel:

  • In the upper-right corner of the panel, click Sm hidefilterpanelbutton.png or Sm displayfilterpanelbutton.png.

The current filter settings are displayed on the right side of the template below the first row:

Report Templates

This section contains detailed information regarding each report template, including a general description, an overview explaining how to customize the report (how the parameters function), and a sample report. For some templates, additional information on common usages and actions you can perform on the reports is provided.

Most reports are interactive: you can drill down within a report to view additional details about any graphic component (graph bars, lines, or table headers) by clicking on it. In addition, you can play a call in the Media Player directly from an Interaction List in the report results. These interactive options are called actions. In some cases, report results offer additional action options. In these cases, the description of the report includes as Actions section describing the additional actions that are available. For more information about using the standard report actions, see Creating a Custom Report.

In some cases, reports have a number of available versions, such as a Full version, a MINI version, and a Wide version. In these cases, a single template is used to generate all of the versions, and a Version parameter is used to select the desired version. (For additional information about the Version parameter, see Common Parameters.)

Important

  • The information you see in reports is limited to the data to which you have access.
  • Recording templates do not include the Categories option, since recording does not categorize interactions.

The following standard report templates are available. Select a report template for more information.


Agent Bubble Chart

Description

The Agent Bubble Chart report compares Agents and/or Workgroups by plotting them on a graph according to the percentage of calls in the horizontal (x-axis) and vertical (y-axis) Categories. Each Agent is represented on the graph by a bubble. The size of each bubble represents the average call duration.

The X-Axis Only and Y-Axis Only versions present the data as a histogram indicating percentage of calls per Agent and/or Workgroup, rather than a bubble chart.

Metadata Frequency

Description

The Metadata Frequency report is a histogram that shows, for a selected metadata field, how many calls in the data set had each of the values of the field. The report has two levels. The top level is a summary that shows how many calls they belonged to each value and the percentage of all the calls in the data set that had the values. For example, if the metadata field "department" is selected, the report shows how many departments (values) were represented in the data set, and divides the departments into groups based on how many calls they had. The lower level gives details for one of the groups in the top level, listing the values that had at least the number of calls represented by the group, and indicating how many calls they had. The Wide version of the report also shows the most common Category of those calls.

In the sample reports below, the top-level report contains a bar graph that indicates there were three departments ("3" at the top of the first bar) for which there were three calls (3x at the bottom of the bar), one department for which there were four calls, and one department for which there were five calls. Above this, the report shows that 14.8% of the calls in the entire data set were in the first group, 21.3% of the calls were in either the first or second group, and 29.5% of the calls were in the first, second, or third group. The Mini version of the report does not include the percentage data. The lower-level report was opened by drilling down on the first bar of the graph in the top-level report. It shows the breakdown of calls for all the values.

Common Usages

  • Classify and quantify calls according to a metadata field.
  • Utilize the comparative data obtained from the report to identify issues that may require attention.

Top and Bottom Performers

Description

The Top and Bottom Performers report is a bar graph that indicates values for three groups (top performers, bottom performers, and average performers) across multiple Categories. This enables you to identify what top performers do differently from the rest and thereby spread the knowledge of best practices. This report is only useful if you know ahead of time who your top, bottom, and average Agents or teams are. It is purely a graphical representation of comparison, and will NOT tell you who the top and bottom Agents are, but rather how they compare in specific areas of performance.

Important

Topic Analysis - Audits

Description

The Topic Analysis - Audits report is a table that shows the precision with which each Topic was identified by SpeechMiner. Precision values are given for one or more confidence levels, as specified in the report parameters, and are determined by the TP/FP/SFP (True Positive/False Positive/Sense False Positive) selections made by the call auditor (see Using an Event Grid).

Each line in the table contains auditing and precision information for one Topic, including the level of strictness required for recognizing the Topic (as defined in the Topic definition in SMART), how many times the Topic was found in the calls that were included in the report, how many calls it was found in, and how many of the events found were audited. In addition, the precision is graded for each threshold included in the report. The grades are calculated by dividing the number of TP events by the sum of the TP and FP events. The grades are presented as follows:

Grade Value of TP/(TP+FP)
A A >= 0.8
B 0.8 > B >= 0.7
C 0.7 > C >= 0.6
D 0.6 > D >= 0.5
F F < 0.5

This report is instrumental to implementers, as it allows them to fine-tune the system to the correct accuracy level. After learning about Topic-identification performance, the implementer can adjust confidence levels as necessary.

Important
Important.png This template is only available in an Analytics UI mode.

Common Usage

  • Monitor the quality of the different Topics in the system based on audit information.

Customizing the Report

General Settings

See Common Parameters.

Items on Report

  • Topics: Choose the Topics whose audits you want to examine.
  • Confidence Thresholds: Type in the confidence levels for which you wish to see precision values. Separate multiple values with commas.
Important
Important.png Confidence levels are assigned by the system to each term it identifies. They indicate how closely the term defined in the Topic matches the term that was discovered in the audio segment. "Precision" in the report means the percentage of TPs for all the audits in the Topic whose confidence levels were equal to or above the given Thresholds. This means that each of the Thresholds includes all of the audits in the Threshold levels above it. Thus, in the example below, the 40-Threshold column includes all audits with precision values of 40 or higher, the 50-Threshold column includes all audits with confidence levels of 50 or higher, and so on.

Actions

  • Click a Topic to drill down to the audit information for each of the terms in the Topic (shown in the Sample Reports section below).
  • Click the Smicon reportdrill.png to drill down to an item's details (shown in the last two samples in the Sample Reports section below). The details show information about the precision as a function of confidence level and as a function of elapsed time in calls.
  • In the list of terms for a Topic, click the name of a term in order to open a call-search window and find calls in which the term is found.

Topic Analysis - Trends

Description

The Topic Analysis - Trends report is a table that compares how often particular Topics were found in the selected time period with how often they were found in the preceding time period. Each line in the table contains information for one Topic, including the percent change between the current period and the preceding period, and the number and percent of calls in each period in which the Topic was found.

The baseline time period for the report is selected in the Data Set parameters (see Common Parameters). The preceding time period is automatically set by the system based on the baseline. For example, if the baseline is a two-month period, the preceding time period used is the two months preceding that baseline period.

Topic Correlation

Description

The Topic Correlation report gives information about the co-occurrence of Topics. The report generates a list of association patterns by mining the set of Topic events for frequent and significant patterns of association. Each pattern of association is composed of a cause ("Left Hand Side") and a consequence ("Right Hand Side"); that is, each pattern identifies a particular Topic or sequence of Topics that seem to lead to the appearance of another specific Topic. For example, the report might include a pattern indicating that when the Topics Transfer and Dispute are found in a call, they are often followed by the Topic Dissatisfaction.

For each correlation in the report, statistical information is provided indicating how significant the correlation was in the data set:

  • Support: How many times the pattern was found in the data set
  • Confidence: How frequently the consequence was found in calls in which the cause was found; that is, from the collection of calls in which the cause was found, the percentage of calls in which the consequence was also found
  • Lift: How dependent the consequence was on the causes
  • Saliency: The significance of the correlation - how much information is represented by the pattern of association

Text entered in this field will be used as a file name for the report if you choose to save the report. This name will appear under the Saved Reports tab for future access.

Report Title

Text entered in this field will be displayed in large, bold type at the top of the report results. The report title is optional. The name of the report template appears in this field by default, but can be modified or deleted.

Description

Text entered in this field will be displayed in fine print directly below the Report Title in the report results. The description is optional.

Version

The output of some reports can be generated in different versions - different sizes or formats In this field, select the desired output version from the dropdown list. The available options vary depending on the template. The following options may be available:

  • Full Report: Full-size report output optimized for printing (either 11" wide x 8.5" high, or 8.5" wide by 11" high, depending on the template). Full reports often contain two parts: a graph or chart followed by a summary table which may also contain additional details.
    In some cases, when a Full report contains items that can be expanded to display more details, the version has two options, Expanded and Collapsed. When Full Report (Expanded) is selected, all items are initially expanded when the report is displayed; when Full Report (Collapsed) is selected, all items are initially collapsed. In either case, the items can be expanded or collapsed by the user after the report is generated.
  • Mini: Small output for display in the Views page (480px wide x 288px high).
  • Wide: Wide-width output for display in the wider columns of the Views page (768px wide x 288px high).
  • Table Only: Full-size report output that only includes the summary table; graphs and diagrams are not printed (either 11" wide x 8.5" high, or 8.5" wide by 11" high, depending on the template).
  • X-Axis Only: For bubble charts; when this option is selected, the report output is in the form of a table with a bar graph representing the x-axis values. No bubble-chart is produced, and y-axis values are not represented (Width: 768px).
  • Y-Axis Only: For bubble charts; when this option is selected, the report output is in the form of a table with a bar graph representing the y-axis values. No bubble-chart is produced, and x-axis values are not represented (Width: 768px)

Data Set Filters

The Data Set Filters allow you to narrow down the data from the entire database in order to base your report on a subset of the available data.

All of the Data Set Filters have an "AND" relationship, which means each filter further restricts the options available, and all call events and topics represented in your final data set satisfy all Data Set Filters. Should you choose options from two different filters that mutually exclude each other (e.g., a Program designated as "Customer Service France" with calls only in French and the Language option "Dutch"), you will have zero data in your report.

Note that the parameters that appear under Items on Report (for example, the third row of parameters) allow you to select specific information from the base of data that is selected under Data Set Filters. Distributional information presented in the report is calculated for the items selected under Items on Report, built upon the base of data that is selected using the Data Set Filters.

The Data Set Filters appear in the Filter Panel on the left side of the report template for all reports that support them. The filters are divided into groups. The basic filters appear at the top of the Filter Panel and are always displayed when the panel is displayed. The other groups of filters can be expanded or collapsed. The following groups of filters are available:

Filter Group Description
Basic filters Filters for selecting interaction types, languages, and the date range.

Note: A day begins at 0:00 and ends at 23:59. "To Date" date filters (All, Today, Week to Date, Last 7 Days, Month to Date. Last Month, Quarter to Date, Last 90 Days) include calls until the exact time and date the report is generated. The times given are for the time zone where your Web server is deployed, and therefore are not necessarily the same as the times where you are physically located.

SpeechMiner Filters for selecting the Categories and Programs of calls, and the Topics that must be found in them.

For each option, select one or more values. Only calls in which at least one of the selected values for each option was identified are included in the data set. For example, if you select three Categories and two Programs, only calls belonging to at least one of the Categories and one of the Programs are included.

You can add lines to the Categories and Topics. The logical relationship between each line is AND. For example, if one line under Categories specifies one Category and another line specifies another Category, a call must be in both Categories to be included. To add a line, click Smicon addreport.png

To create a negative filter, click the Sm notoffbutton.png button beside the Category field.

Call Properties Filters that allow you to select agents, call length, and external call ID properties.
  • Agents: Select any combination of agents and workgroups. If you select a workgroup, all the agents in the workgroup are included in the data set. You can also choose to search for the "current user" rather than a specific agent or workgroup. In this case, the condition changes depending on which user runs the report.
  • Call Length: Select the range of call durations to include in the data set: In the first field, select either Less Than, Between, or More Than. In the second text field or fields, fill in the number of seconds. If you selected Less Than, only calls that are shorter than the value you specified are included. If you selected Between, calls whose durations are more than the first value and less than the second value are included. If you selected More Than, only calls that are longer than the value you specified are included.
  • Call External ID: Type any portion of a call's external ID; any calls whose external IDs include the characters you specify are included in the data set. You can use the * character as a wildcard. Place it at the beginning or end of a sequence of characters to indicate that at least one other character must be in that position in the sequence. For example, type *123 to specify external IDs that begin with any sequence, but end with 123, or type 123* to specify external IDs that begin with 123 and end with any other sequence of characters.
Metadata Filters for selecting metadata values.

Metadata is collected by the recording system and relayed by it to SpeechMiner. The types of available metadata vary from system to system. You can select any type of metadata available in your system and, if you wish, you can specify a value for it. The search results will only include calls for which the selected type of metadata has a value defined, and, if you specify a value, for which the defined value equals the specified value.

User Actions Filters for finding calls that have user comments, were played back by users, about which forms were filled out, or quality checking was performed.

Under Call Comment Text, specify text that must appear in a comment that a user added to a call. In the other fields, select the users who must have performed the specified actions.

Items on Report

The parameters in this section allow you to select specific information and calculate distributional information on the data in the data set that was specified using the Data Set Filters. If no selections are made under Items on Report, default values will determine how the data you have narrowed down through the Data Set Filters appear in the report.

Since the parameters in Items on Report differ from report to report, only the most common ones are explained in this section, listed alphabetically. Less common parameters will be explained in their respective templates.

Agents

You can select the specific Agents or Workgroups to be analyzed and displayed in your report. The default value ("Any") includes all agents. Your selections here must match up with your selections in the Data Set Filters (e.g., the same Workgroups or Agents, belonging to the same Languages and Programs), if the latter are not all set to default ("Any"). In other words, the report output will only include Agents who were selected here and who were not excluded from the data set in the Data Set Filters.

Categories

You can select specific Categories of calls to limit the data set analyzed for your report. Your data set will include calls belonging to any of the Categories selected. Use the default value ("Any") to include all available Categories. Note that if a single call belongs to multiple Categories, it will be counted as one call for each Category selected under this parameter. Also, bear in mind that the report output will only include calls in Categories that were selected here and were not excluded from the data set in the Data Set Filters. Thus, if you selected certain Categories in the Data Set Filters section, only Categories that are selected both there and here will appear.

When used with Percentage of Calls in the Data Type parameter, the report will display the ratio of {the number of calls from the selected Categories in Items on Report} to {the number of calls from the Categories selected for analysis in Data Set Filters}, as a percentage. Note that if one or more calls belong to multiple Categories, the sum of the percentages of calls for all Categories may add up to more than 100%.

Data Type or Compare

You can specify the type of data you wish to display in your report. The most common choices are:

  • Number of Calls: Displays the number of calls per each report item. Data may vary depending on the other filters selected.
  • Percentage of Calls: Displays the percentage of calls per report item in your data set. For additional information, see Categories (in this Items on Report section).
  • Average Call Duration: Displays the average length, in minutes, of all calls for each report item. The entire conversation for the call recording session is considered, excluding the wrap time after the call.
  • Total Resources: Displays the total amount of time, in hours, of all the calls per report item. It is essentially the sum of all call durations.

Period Type or Period

This parameter is most commonly seen on reports that show trends. The output of the report will be displayed in increments of the selected Period Type. For each increment, the value of the selected Data Type will be displayed for each particular report item. For example, if the Data Type is "Number of Calls" and the Period Type is "Day," the number of calls for each day in the date range included in the report will be shown.

Top or Display

In this parameter, you can choose how many of the highest or lowest values are displayed on the report. The options may include 5, 10, 15, 20, All, All Sorted, and All Unsorted.
