This article outlines common ways to implement metrics in babelDesk dashboards. Please note: every call center or department may prioritize different metrics. The examples below are general. In babelforce, metrics can be customized according to your needs, e.g., by call type or queue.

For guidance on creating babelDesks, please take a look at the following article: Adding a babelDesk and managing its access rights

The following metrics mainly use the “List” widget type in babelDesk.

  • Recommended refresh period: 60 seconds

  • Multiple metrics in one widget: You can add several metrics to a single widget only if they are different metric types.

    • Example: You can have Metric 1 = Calls Reporting with specific settings.

    • If you want Metric 2 to also be Calls Reporting but with different settings, this is not possible in the same widget. You need to create a second widget for the second metric.

 

KPIs How to implement 
Offered Calls – Incoming calls presented to the queue

Widget type: List

Metric: Calls Reporting

Time range: e.g., Today

Queues: Select the respective queues (selecting multple queues will show a sum of all calls that entered these queues)

Answered Calls – Calls handled by agents

Answered Calls = Offered Calls – Abandoned Calls

There is no dedicated metric for Answered Calls in babelDesk. However, once Offered Calls and Abandoned Calls are set up as metrics, Answered Calls can be derived by subtracting Abandoned Calls from Offered Calls.

Abandoned Calls – Calls where the customer hung up after entering the queue and before reaching an agent
  • Widget type: List

  • Metric: Total Count of Abandoned Calls

  • Time range: e.g., Today

  • Queues: Select the respective queues 

    • selecting multple queues will show a sum of all calls that entered these queues

    • selecting no queue will show a sum of all calls that entered any of the account's queues 

    • calls that didn't enter any queues are not included into this metric

Abandon % – Ratio of abandoned calls to offered calls

Option 1 (Pie Chart): Missed vs. Accepted Calls

  • Note: Multiple queues cannot be selected simultaneously.

Option 2 (List View):

  • Metric: Percentage of Abandoned Calls

  • Time range: Today

  • Queues: Select the respective queues

  • Note: Only calls that reached the selected queues are included. Calls lost in the IVR are not counted.

Answer % – Ratio of answered calls to offered calls
  • No direct % view currently exists.

  • Calculation: 100 % – Abandon %

Average Handle Time (AHT) – Talk time plus after-call work

Average Handle Time represents the total time an agent spends per call, including both the active conversation and the processing time afterward.
Formula: AHT = Talk Time + After-Call Work (Wrap-Up Time)

  • Widget type: List

  • Metric: Average Handle Time (duration)

  • Time range: Yesterday

  • Queues: Select the respective queues

    • if you select multiple queues, the average of the handle time of all selected queues will be calculated

    • if you don't select any queue, the AHT will be selected for all the account's queues

Average Wait Time – Average waiting time before an agent answers
  • Widget type: List

  • Metric: Average Wait Time (duration)

  • Time range: Today

  • Queues: Select the respective queues

  • Queue only: True (only calls that reached the queue are included)

Wait Time (Real-Time) – Longest waiting call in the queue
  • Widget type: List

  • Metric: Longest Waiting Call

  • Queues: Select the respective queues

Calls in Queue (Real-Time) – Number of calls currently waiting
  • Widget type: List

  • Metric: Calls Reporting

  • Time range: Today

  • Queues: Select the respective queues

  • Status: Queued

Service Level (SLA) – Percentage of calls answered within a defined timeframe (e.g., 70 % in 60 s)
  • Widget type: List

  • Metric: service-level.value

  • Time range: Today

  • Queues: Select the respective queues

  • Queue only: True

  • Threshold: Greater than 70 % (or as defined by your SLA)

  • Note: Depending on your SLA, you can include only queued calls or only bridged calls.

   

 

Notes on Dashboard Creation

  • Dashboards can be created per department or per queue.

  • Real-time dashboards can include metrics such as: active calls, waiting calls, SLA performance, offered/answered calls, AHT, etc.

  • For graphical breakdowns (e.g., offered vs. answered calls per 10–15 minutes), you can use either a pie chart or a list widget.

  • Multiple queues cannot be selected in pie charts. If no queue is selected, both inbound and outbound calls are included.
