This section of the user guide is focused on live chat analytics. To help you navigate the article we have broken it down into the following sections:

What are analytics?

The Analytics dashboard allows you to monitor the performance of live chat in real time via graphs and other high-level statistics that provide an overview of live chat usage and missed chats. 

Who has access to Live Chat Analytics?

The Live Chat Analytics page is available to individuals with the following permissions: 

For more information on user permissions, review the User Roles & Permissions article.

How do I view the Analytics page?

Under the Live Chat section, select Analytics. There are two analytic pages, Dashboard and Missed Chats. 

Dashboard

Note: The number of live chat transcripts may not match the analytics because queue-only conversations are not included in analytics, but transcripts are created to document those conversations. Queue-only conversations are conversations that take place before the agent and live chat participant interact.

The Dashboard allows you to monitor your live chat in real-time via graphs and other high-level statistics that provide an overview of your live chat usage.

Administrative-level users can sort Dashboard analytics by office and agent by selecting the filter button. There is also a toggle if these users want to include testing interactions in analytics.

The following charts/data points are available on the Dashboard tab to help review Live Chat statistics:

• Chats (All-time)
• Chats per day
• Chats By Hour
• Chats By Day
• Avg. Wait Time
• Avg. Chat Session Length
• Avg. Response Time
• Chats Per Agent
