Call Direction Report Metric Definitions

This article is a comprehensive list of available values and their definitions that you may choose from when creating a custom Call Direction report.

A Note on Abandoned Calls

In addition, abandoned calls can be calls that were at one point answered. For example, if the receiving agent answers the call, places the calling party on hold, and then the calling party hangs up while in the hold state, this would be considered an abandoned call. Again, because it ended in an event other than a talking or voicemail event.
