Reason Codes

This provides information on the different types of reason codes and how to use them. Reason codes provide further visibility and opportunities to make sure that your agents are performing to the best of their abilities. This requires Realtime and Agent Dashboards licenses.

With Chronicall Agent Dashboards, you will be able to track the daily activity of your Agent Dashboards agents based on Reason Codes. This provides further visibility and opportunities to make sure that your agents are performing to the best of their abilities.

There are three styles of Reason Codes.

  • Busy Reason Codes - Typically when an agent puts themselves on Do not Disturb, Release, or AUX (Depending on which phone system you are using)
  • Group Logout Reason Codes - When an agent logs out of their Hunt/Work/Skill group for any reason
  • Extension Logout Reason Codes - When an agent logs out of their extension

How to Use the Reason Codes

With the Agent Dashboards license, when an agent hits their specific "Busy" button, Group or Extension Logout code on their phone they will be asked to select a reason as to why they are performing this action.

A list will appear on the screen requiring them to make a selection.

They must make a selection from the list in order for the window to go away.

Once they've selected a reason, the manager can now run reports on this information.
