Threshold Rules

If your enterprise uses the Threshold Alerts feature, authorized users can create threshold rules to monitor agent and call data.

A threshold alert can be displayed in the Agent Personal Statistics tab on the Agent Desktop if Agent Viewable is set to Yes for the threshold rule and the threshold alert is selected in the agent profile assigned to the agent. For more information, see Agent Profiles.

Threshold rules can be configured for the call and agent metrics listed in the following table. For each rule, you specify a value that will trigger the alert:

Abandoned Calls	Queue	Count
Average Queue Time	Queue	Duration
Average Speed of Answer	Queue	Duration

The maximum number of threshold rules that you can create is determined by the MaximumThresholdRules value provisioned for your enterprise. For more information, see Tenant Settings.
