Many database items are included in more than one database table.
When an item is in more than one table, the defi niti on may or may not be

The row search criteria you define for custom repor ts should be based on
indexes whenever possible. For histori cal custom report s, al ways include
a “where” clause based on the ROW_DATE database item.
Each database item contains one of the following types of data:
C =Cumulative data: accumulates throughout the collection interval.
1
Most real-time database items contain cumulative data.
CentreVu
CMS can ret rieve data faster.
Historical and RealTime Data
A =Administrative data: administered on the switch or on
CMS. For example, the database item INTRVL in the spli t/skill real-time
table contains the number of minu tes in t he i ntrahour int erva l (15, 30 , 6 0)
currently assigned to the specified split/skill on
S =Status data: gi ves the current status (a snap shot of a particular ACD
element). For example, the database it em INQUEUE in the split/ski ll realtime table contains the number of spli t/skill calls currently waiting in
queue.
I = Row Identifier data: gives data that is common to all tables, such as
time, date, split in the split/skill tables, and so on.
N = Special Table data: belongs only to a specific table, such as the
Historical Agent Login/Logout tabl e or Current Day Forecast table.
M = Maximum Interval Value data: gives data that is the maximum
reached for any value in the specified interval.
B = Busy Hour data: gives da ta that is only meani ngful for the busy hou r.
Cumulative, Administrative, Maximum Value, Row Identifier and
Busy Hour data items apply to historical and real-time database items.

Call-Based Data1
Interval-Based Data 1
In addition to the types of data descr ibed above, items in the
CMS database can be either call -based or interval-based. Most
CMS database items are call-based. Call-based dat a is committed to the
database after a call completes. Therefore, if a call starts and ends in
different coll ection intervals, all of the data is recorded in the interval in
which the call and any after call work is completed.
Interval-based data represents the amount of time during a collection
interval spent doing a p articul ar activity. Interval-based items are upd ated
throughout the collecti on interval and timing is restarted at the end of the
interval. Most interval-based items start with I_ or TI_. The database
items ALLINUSETIME (trunk-group tables) and MBUSYTIME (trunk and
trunk-group tables) ar e also i n terval-based.
Interval-based items should only be used to calculate percentages such
as percentage of time staffed or in AUX work. Interval-based items
should not be used; for example, to calculate average talk time; use callbased items for this type of calcul ation. Furt hermore, because cal l-based
and interval-based items may not track the same events, a calculation
should use only one type of item and comparisons of call-bas ed
calculations and interv al-based calculations may not be relevant or
meaningful. For example, the call-based ACD time and interval-based
ACD time for an agent will not be equal if the agent handl ed one or more
ACD calls that crossed over interval boundaries.

Terminology
The following terms are often used in the database item descriptions.
1
Abandoned
Call
A call in which the caller hung up before the call was
answered or connected. Calls also can be
considered abandoned if certain timers in the switch
time out. See the explanations of the Wait Answer
Supervision T imer (WAST), the Phant om-Abandon
Calls, and the Trunk No Answer Timeout (G3V2 and
later) (NATO) later in this document. These timers
are used primarily in locations where the central
office trunks lack di sconnect supervision.
Calls may abandon during many phases of
processing, including during vector processing, after
being queued to a split/skill, and while ringing at an
agent or station. The calls t hat are counted as
abandons differ depending on the table. The agent
table counts as abandons those split/skill ACD calls
that abandoned while ringing at the agent. The
split/skill table counts as abandons those calls that
abandoned while queued to the split/skill or while
ringing at an agent in the split/skill. The VDN table
counts as abandons those ACD calls that abandoned
while in the VDN, including calls in vector pr ocess ing
not yet queued to a split/skill (for example, calls that
abandoned while listening to an announcement),
calls queued to one or more splits/skills, and calls
ringing at agents (ACD calls). The definitions in each
table state which ab andons ar e counted in t hat table.
ACD CallA call that queued to a split/skill and was answered
by an agent in that s plit/skill or a call t hat queued as a
direct agent call and was answered by the agent to
whom it was queued.
Introduction
Terminology1-7
CentreVu®
CMS R3V8 Database Items and Calculations
After Call
Work (ACW)
Work done when the agent is not on a call. There ar e
two types of after call work (ACW): call-related ACW
and ACW not associated with a cal l. An agent enters
a call-related ACW state by completing a manual-in
call or, on Generic 3 switches, by pressing the ACW
feature button during an automatic-in call, and then
completing the call.
CentreVu
CMS tracks callrelated after call work in the call-based ACWTIME
item and in the interval-based I_ACWTIME item.
An agent on a Generic 3 switch can enter the ACW
state without having an associated call by pressing
the ACW feature button while available or in the
auxiliary (AUX) mode.
CentreVu
CMS will track this
ACW time in the I_ACWTIME item, but not in the
ACWTIME item.
For Generic 3 switches without the EAS feature, the
ACW time not associated with an ACD call will be
tracked for the split whose ACW feature button the
agent pressed. For Generic 3 with Expert Agent
Selection (EAS), the ACW time not associated with
an ACD call will be tracked for the first skill
administered for and successfully logged into by the
agent.
In Generic 3 V ersion 3 and later Generic releases, an
agent in after call work who reconnects to a held
AUXIN or AUXOUT call will return to the after call
work mode when the AUXIN/OUT call is terminated.
The after call work time accrued following the
termination of the AUXIN/OUT call is after call work
not associated with an ACD call, and only counts as
I_ACWTIME, not as ACWTIME.
For Generic 3 releases prior to Generic 3 Version 3,
an agent who reconnected to a held AUXIN or
AUXOUT call from the after call work mode returned
to the available state upon completion of the cal l.
AgentThe login ID that staffed the extension. This term is
often extended to mean the person who used the ID
to staff the extension. In all cases, the term
implies measurement by

Agent position
(no EAS)
The combination of the agent login ID and the split
the agent logged into. Agents logged into mult iple
splits have multip le positions associated with them.
Call data are collected for each agent/split
combination separa tely, so that it is possible t o report
on the calls handled and time spent by agents in
each of the splits they were in. To report on the total
work performed by the agent, call data must be
summed for the agent over all the splits in which the
agent worked.
Agent position
(with EAS)
The login ID of the agent, regar dless of the number of
skills assigned to the agent. Data are st ill collected
for the agent by skill, so the total work for the agent
must be summed over all skills in which the agent
worked.
Answered CallThe agent’s state changes to ACD or Direct Agent
ACD (DACD). The term
answered is used only for
split/skill and direct agent ACD calls. (See
Connected for non-ACD calls.) For manual answer
agents, the call is answered when the agent selects
the ringing line appearance. For automatic answer
agents, the call i s answered di rectly af ter the zi p tone
is applied.
Automatic-In
Mode (AI)
AUX Work

Best Service
Routing (BSR)
In this call answering mode, an agent who releases
an ACD call receives another ACD call immediately,
or if timed ACW is in use, aft er the ti med ACW period
expires, if there is a call queued.
A work mode in which agents are engaged in nonACD work. This may represent a break or lunch,
training, mail, team meetings, and so on. Extension
(non-ACD) calls that agents make or receive while
available in auto-in or manual-in mo de are tracked as
AUXOUT or AUXIN calls.
A method of automatic call distribution between
switches based on Expected Wait Time (EWT). BSR
can be used either as a single-site or as a multi-site
feature.

ACD Call
(Generic 3)
Call records are made up of call segments, each of
which represents a r elated call. A new call segment is
started whenever a call is made or received,
including whenever a call is made in or der to transf er
or conference another call. Call segments that are
related share the same call ID. Unrelated call
segments have different call IDs.
A non-ACD call that rang and did not abandon at an
extension (not a split/skill or direct a gent call). For
Generic 3 switches, only calls that routed to an
extension are tracked as connected calls.
Every skill that ends with a “0” is called a “default
skill,” since every agent in the skill group is logged
into this skill by default. The default skill is the first
skill for each skill group.
A call that queues for a specific agent. Direct agent
ACD calls can be generated by an ASAI adjunct
(Generic 3) or by calling an agent's login id (Generic
3 switches with EAS), given the proper class of
restriction for the caller and for the receiving agent.
Direct agent ACD calls are tracked as ACD calls
along with split/skill ACD calls in the trunk, trunk
group, VDN and vector tables. Direct agent ACD
calls are tracked separately from split/skill ACD calls
in the agent tables. Direct agent ACD calls are not
tracked in the split/skill tables (since they are not
split/skill ACD calls).
Expert Agent
Selection
(EAS)
A switch feature that allows the assignment of an
agent to certain capabilities (skills). Calls are
distributed to skills based on which agents have the
capability to best handle them.
External CallCalls made to off-switch destinations. This includes
calls to other switches in a DCS network.
Extension CallCalls originated by agents and non-ACD calls
received by agents. For the Generic 3 switches,
these include calls an agent makes to set up a
conference or a transfer.

and does not queue to another split/skill (for
example, routes to an extension), then ther e is no
new primary split/skill.
QueuedA split/skill or direct agent call that has been directed
to a split/skill. In the case of the Generic 3 switch,

Skill Level Agents are assigned skill levels that may determine
which call waiting for one of the agent’s skills will be
delivered to the agent when the agent becomes
available. Skill levels help deter mine the “most

Skill State Skills can now be in one of four states (unknown,
normal, overload 1 or overload 2), based on the
expected wait time (EWT) threshold. TIme spent in
each state except unknown is tracked in the split

Distribution
(UCD)
The agent’s top skill is t he age nt’s first-administered,
highest-level skill. This concept is the most useful
when you have a Generic 3 switch (with EAS) and
with agents who are using skill level call handling
preference. In this case, the agent’s top skill
represents the skill for which the agent is most likely
to receive a call. Agents for whom a given skill is the
top skill are the agents that a skill supervisor can
count on to handle calls for the skill.
NOTE: This concept is not useful fo r agents using t he
greatest need call handling preference or for agents
who are not Generic 3 (with EAS) agents. For nonEAS agents, the top “skill” is the spl it the agent has
been logged into the longest.
An agent selection method, available in both an EAS
and a non-EAS environment, in which all idle agents
are included in a single group. The least occupied
(UCD-LOA) or most idle (UCD-MIA) agent is
selected. (In an EAS environment, the selection is
made regardless of skill level.)

Personal Call Tracking offers the following data tracking cap abilities:

●
When an agent places a call on hold, the agent returns to his or her
previous state befor e the call unless t he previous st ate was AVAIL. If
the agent was in the AVAIL state, the agent is placed in the OTHER
state until the agent dials a valid number (if the number dialed is
invalid, the agent remains in OTHER), rec onnects t o the held call, or
the held call abandons. When the agent reconnects to the held call,
the agent returns to the original state for the call.
●
Agents do not have a HOLD state. Hold time is associated with a
call placed on hold. Agent states reflect the current activity of the
agent.
●
HOLDTIME is the time the call spent on hold. HOLDCALLS is the
number of calls that were placed on hold at least once, and
HOLDABNCALLS is the number of calls that were abandoned while
on hold.
●
I_OTHERTIME is the time during the collection interval that the
agent was doing other work.

For Generic 3 switches, this includes time while in the Auto-In or

Abandoned Calls1
Phantom-Abandon
Calls
Phantom-Abandon
Call Timer
In general, any call that hangs up before an agent or station answers is
an abandoned call. On Generic 3 swi tches, any VDN call s (whether ACD
calls or not) that route to extensi ons and are then abandoned are
counted as abandoned calls for t he VDN. (See Phantom- Abandon Calls.)
In countries where central offices do not provide the switch with
disconnect supervision, all calls with talk times that are less than an
1
administrable threshold can be counted as abando ned calls.
CentreVu
CMS supports a phantom-abandon cal l ti mer th at can be adminis ter ed to
count calls with talk times less than 10 seconds as a phantomabandoned call.
The Phantom-Abandon Call Timer can be set from 1-10 seconds. Any
calls whose total talk time or connect time is less than the set number of
1
seconds are pegged as PHANTOMABNS, instead of ACDCALLS. The
abandon time for phantom calls is the time:
●
For splits: from the time the cal l queued until the agent or answering
station hangs up.
●
For VDNs: from the time the call encountered the VDN until the
agent or answering station hangs up.
●
For vectors: from the time the call entered the vector until the agent
or answering station hangs up.

When a call leaves a vect or via a “ route to split ” command, the call is
not pegged as an outflow, and can be pegged as a phantomabandon call if the call duration is shorter t han the administered
phantom-abandon time.
The database item PHANTOMABNS records the total number of such
calls. Also, these calls are counted as abandoned calls (ABNCALLS)
1
rather than answered calls (ACDCALLS). The abandon time for these
calls is equivalent to the time elapsed when the agent released the call.
When the phantom-abandon call timer is not enabled, short ACD calls
are not counted as phantom-abandons, and the values of the
PHANTOMABNS database items are 0.

Any call that has been put on HOLD, TRANSFERRED, or

For Generic 3 V ersion 2 and later Gener ic 3 switch rele ases with the EAS

Expanded Agent
Capabilities
DEFINITY
(

R5 and Later)
The expanded agent cap abilities f eature allows EAS agent s to have up to
20 skills assigned. Each skill may be assigned a level from 1 to 16,
where1 is the highest level and 16 is the lowest. (The numeric level
replaces the skill type
may have a call handling preference based either on the skill level,
1
meaning that the agent will serve calls waiting for their highest level skill
before serving calls waiting f or any lower level skills; or based on great est
need, meaning that the agent will serve the highest-priority, oldest call
waiting for any of their skills.
The expanded agent capabilit ies feature also allows the specification of
the skill to be used for the agent’s direct calls. This also allows
specification of the level for the direct agent skill; which, in conjunction
with the agent’s call handling preference, may aff ect the order in which a
direct agent call is delivered to an agent. That is, direct agent calls need
to be delivered for all skill ACD calls.
A new concept introduced in R3V5 CMS, the top skill, can be useful in
EAS implementations that use skill level call handling preference for the
agents. An agent’s first administered, highest level ski ll is the agent’s top
skill, since it is for this skill that the agent is most likely to handle calls.
This is the skill that can “count on” the agent. New database items have
been added to track the number of top agents in skills, as well as the time
top agents spent available and in AUX.

measured agent/split or agent/skill pairs to 10,000 f or the G3r processor,
as well as new options for Most Idle Agent (MIA) call distribution. The
new options allow selection of MIA distribution across skills, rather than
for each skill, and selection of whether agents in ACW are or are not
included in the agent free list. These options have no direct impact on
CMS, since CMS does not keep track of the most idle agent.
The Multiple Call Handling feature allows an ACD agent to put a call on
hold and push the Auto-In or Manual-In key to take another ACD call.

CentreVu
This means that hold time is counted for each c all. For exampl e, an agent
who places two calls on hold for 5 minutes to answer a third accrues 10

Agents in multiple split s/skills are tracked as a single agent in R3 CMS.
For non-EAS ACD operation, agents must log in with the same llogin ID
for all splits. “TI_” database items have been added to indicate the time
the the agent spent in various work stat es independent of the split/skill
the agent is working in. These are interval-based items.
When agents are logged into multiple splits/skills, the items counting
AUXIN/AUXOUT calls and time are usually associated with the split/skill
the agent has been logged into the longest (i.e., the first split the agent
logged into). However, in the case where an agent puts a split/skill or
direct agent ACD call on hold and then makes an AUXOUT call, the
outgoing call and its ta lk time are counted for the split/skill associated
with the ACD call.
Real-time reports assume that agents can only be doing one thing at a
time. Agents can be in the following states: AVAIL, ACD, ACW, AUX,
DACD, DACW, RINGING, UNKNOWN, OTHER, or UNSTAFFED. When
an agent logs into multipl e split s/s kills, t he split/ski ll number( s) are shown
on the report(s) for the st at es (ACD, DACD, ACW, AVAIL, and RINGING)
associated with the call. For example, if an agent logged into split/skill 1
and split/skill 2 and answered an ACD call for Split/Skill 2, the split/skill
number shown in the standard real-time report(s) is “2.”
CMS requires agents to log into multiple splits/skills using the

Real-Time
Split/Skill Reports
For splits, as long as the agent i s not on a cal l or the age nt i s in AUX and
is available in at least some split s, real-time reports show all the splits in
1
which the agent is available. For skills, the agent cannot be available in
some skills and not available in others unless Multiple Call Handling
(MCH) is active. The Skill Status report shows all the agent's login skills.
If an ACD call is ringing the agent's voice terminal, the real-time report
shows the RINGING state. If a personal call i s ringing at the a gent's voice
terminal, the real-time report shows the OTHER state. No split/skill is
shown for the AUX and UNKNOWN states because these states are not
split/skill rela ted unless the agent is on a call (AUXIN or AUXOUT) in
which case, the split/skill is sh own in the report. The agent is shown as
being in AUX only if the agent is in AUX in all splits/skills.
With real-time split/skill reports, if an agent is available in split 1 and in
AUX in split 2 and you request the Split/Skill report which di splays both
1
splits, the report shows the agent is AVA IL in split 1 and OTHER in split 2.

Move Agent
While Staffed
(G3V4 and later)
Converse Vector
Command (G3V2
and later)
The G3V4 switch release supports moving a st af fed agent bet ween split s
or changing the skill assign ments for staffed agents. If the agent has any
call on the voice terminal or is in ACW, then the move cannot take place
1
immediately, but is pending until the agent voice terminal goes idle (all
calls have been terminated), or the agent changes out of the ACW mode.
CMS provides two real-time database items in the agent data,
MOVEPENDING and PENDINGSPLIT, that can be accessed by using
custom reports to provide information about whether agents have moves
pending and, if so, the split or skill to which they are being moved. Note
that in the case that the agent’s skills are being changed and the change
adds more than one skill, the PENDINGSPLIT it em will sho w the fi rst ski ll
that is being added. It is also possible for MOVEPENDING to be set, but
for PENDINGSAPLIT to be blank (or 0). This can happen, for example,
when the link to the switch comes up and a move is pending f or an agent.
CMS will be notified by the switch that the move is pending, but
PENDINGSPLIT will not be set.
The “converse” command integrates Voice Response Units (VRUs) and
the Vectoring feature. The “converse” command allows voi ce-response
scripts to be executed while, for example, a call waits in queue. This
1
command also allows data to be passed between the switch and a VRU
or from the VRU through the switch to an ASAI adjunct processor.
Tracking 1
Go To Vector1
There is no vector or VDN tracking for this command. If the VRU ports
are administered as a measured split/skill, then agent and split/skill
tracking is available.
When a “go to vector” command is executed, an outflow and a “go to call”
are counted for the first vector and an inflow is count ed for the second
vector , and the timing and statistics associated with the first vector for
that call stop and are started for the second vector. The call remains in
the original VDN, however, and tracking in that VDN continues.

(G3V2 and later)
Outbound call management (OCM) calls to splits/skills are included as a

can be calculated as ACDCALLS - O_ACDCALLS. See the “Adjunct-

When a ringing call times out, the call can be requeued to the same

unique calls off ered to the split/ skill can then be calculated by subtr acting
the value of NOANSREDIR from CALLSOFFERED.
NOTE:
This assumes that the split/skill is set up so that normal split/skill calls do
not cover back to the same split/skill except through the Redirection on
No Answer feature. If they can cover back to the same split/sk ill, each call

Switch Average
Speed of Answer
(G3V4 and later)
Timed ACW1
The G3V4 and later switches calculate a roilling average speed of
answer (ASA) for splits/skill s and VDN(s). This ASA can be used in
vector conditionals to determine where to queue calls. The ASA(s) for
1
splits/skills and for VDN( s) are also s ent to R3V4 and later CMS, and can
be displayed on real-time reports.
The ASA for a split/skill includes the t ime spent in the split/skill queue and
the time ringing at an agent. The ASA for a VDN includes the time spent
in vector processing (including the time spent in queue) and the time
ringing for the VDN assocaited with the call when it was answered. This
switch-generated, rolling ASA is a r unning, weighted av erage calcula tion.
ASA will in general not match the average speed of answer on CMS.
The times ACW feature, which provides automatic-in agents with a fixed
ACW period after each Automatic-In call, makes no changes in CMS
tracking of ACW time. Timed ACW is track ed identically to manually
entered ACW or ACW resulting from manaul-in calls.

Timeout (G3V2
and later)
In the trunk, trunk group, and VDN tables, the TIME items typically
accumulate until the trunk drops at the end of the call, unless the items

are queue time or ring time or other similar items.
In the split/skill and vector tables, the TIME items typically accumulate
until the call leaves the split/skill/vector and the disposition is known (for
1
example, when the call outflows or when the caller st arts hearing the
forced busy).
This timer starts when the switch first seizes the trunk and is stopped
when answer supervision is sent for the call. If it times out, the call is
dropped by the switch and the

abandoned call. (This timer is for switches in countries that lack
disconnect supervision for trunks. The assumption is that the caller

The Vector Disconnect Timer is started when a call begins vector

call is routed successful ly. If the timer times out, the call is dropped by the

The G3V4 switch provides a vector conditional base don a count of the
active calls to a VDN. Incoming trunk calls that route directly to the VDN
by Direct Inward Dialing (DID), DCS, PRI, tie or tandem trunks or
incoming trunk calls where the VDN is considered the incoming
destination, are considered act ive calls for a VDN. Incoming trunk night
service calls where the VDN is the night service destination, or calls that
forward or cover to the VDN that have not alrea dy routed t o another VDN
on this switch are also considered active cal ls for a VDN.
The G3V4 switch will send the current active VDN call count to R3V4
CMS, where it can be displayed on real-time reports. Note that the
switch’s count of “ active” calls is not the same as the CMS count of
INPROGRESS calls in the VDN, since the definition of “active in the
VDN” differs between the switch and CMS. (CMS counts calls as
INPROGRESS in the VDN whether they are inbound trunk calls or

A location, or site, refers to a physical location. This can be a building, a
section of a building, or it can be what was once a separate ACD before
1
the ATM WAN capability was used to merge separate ACDs with other
ACDs into one large call center. A location will typically be assigned one
(or more) location IDs. A location, despite being part of a larger call
center, may continue to have sole responsibility for handling certain 800
numbers. A location may also share responsibi li ty for handling an 800
number by having some of its agents be part of a larger split/skill that
includes agents from other locations.
An agent location ID is the ID of the agent terminal the agent is logged
into. It is associ ated with the DEFI NTY port network I D to which the agen t
1
terminal is attached. An agent cannot be assigned a location ID for
reporting purposes until he or she logs into the ACD. Available on the
DEFINITY ECS R7.1 with ATM and later. This is supported by the

The

Location ID is not direct ly assigned to an trun k, instead, it is assigned to a

port network (via the
network location ID (1-44) associated with a trunk. A

the call is queued to this split/skill (and this is the prim ary split/skill the call
is queued to) or if a call queued to this split/ skill forwards to another
split/skill whose queue is full. On Generic 3 and later switches, a busy is
given because a non- vector controlled split has a full queue, no queue
and no available agents, or no agents that are staffed.
This is a cumulati ve it e m .
Trunk tables
The number of INCALLS that were given a busy signal by the switch.
This can occur on all switches via the "busy’’ vector command. On
Generic 3 switches without vectoring, BUSYCALLS can occur if a call is
routed to a split/skill with cover age set to "yes" where ther e are no agents
available, the queue is full (or there is no queue), there is no coverage,
and an announcement has played or the trunk is not a CO trunk. Also on
Generic 3 switches, BUSYCALLS can occur if a call is routed to a direct
agent with coverage set to "yes", the agent is not logged in and there is
no coverage path administered and an announcement has played or the
trunk is not a CO trunk. BUSYCALLS can occur on Generic 3 switches
