Real-time statistics

The following can be shown to the agent, per queue:
<<Queue>> The queue number as configured in Asterisk
<<Name>> Name for the queue based on matching in setting file
<<Available>> Number of agents in the queue but not on a call
<<Callers>> Number of callers in the queue waiting for an agent
<<HoldTime>> Average hold (queueing) time for callers
<<LongestHoldTime>> Age of the oldest call in the queue still waiting for an agent
<<TalkTime>> Average talk time for this queue
<<LoggedIn>> Number of agents part of this queue

Use the <<placeholders>> shown when configuring the display. For example, in the display above, the configured string is: <<Name>>|  AGTs:<<LoggedIn>> CWT(s) <<Callers>>(<<LongestHoldTime>>)

How it works

Our integration of Dynamics CRM and Asterisk Queues uses a single connection to your Asterisk Server. This connection ensures minimal load on your asterisk while providing a reliable and auto-reconnecting link for the Dynamics Telephony clients.

This is an optional module for Dynamics Telephony. A Windows server is required for this proxied connection – VMs are supported. The real-time statistics are updated ever 10 seconds – configurable.

DT Clients can be running on local network, or remote through a firewall. Remote Desktop, Terminal Services and Citrix are also supported.
