    							ACD Monitor                                     TASKE Call Center Management Tools Version 7.0-3-TASKE ACD Monitor
    The TASKE ACD Monitor is a call center monitoring application that reports both real-
    time and historical call center activity for Pilots and Pilot Groups. A Pilot is a dialable
    number that accesses a group of answer positions such as agent or extension groups.
    A Pilot Group is used strictly for reporting and monitoring purposes in TASKE
    applications. This is a group of Pilots given a single identifying number that is trackable
    in reports and the ACD Monitor. The application operates in two modes: Real-time and
    Replay.
    The Real-time mode displays call center activity that spans the past 12 hours. Call
    center statistics are divided into three sections, Now, Last Hour, and Last 12 Hours.
    Updated constantly, the Now statistics provide a dynamic view of the current call center
    activity. The Last Hour and Last 12 Hours reports provide shift overview statistics.
    Viewing the Last Hour reports provides an overview of the call center activity for the
    past 60 minutes and the Last 12 Hours reports provide an overview of the past 12
    hours.
    The Replay mode is an animated review of a 24-hour period that shares the reports of
    the Real-time mode. Using the same Now, Last Hour, and Last 12 Hours reports, users
    select a date with logged call center data. The information for the day is replayed in a
    real-time simulation.
    The ACD Monitor Interface
    Together, the Menu Bar, the Main Control Panel, and the Pilot Information Display Area
    (PIDA) comprise the ACD Monitor interface. The interactive interface reports Pilot and
    Pilot Group information numerically, graphically, and tabularly.
    The Menu Bar
    Spanning the top of the ACD Monitor window, the menu
    bar contains four menus that provide keyboard and
    mouse access to the functions of the TASKE ACD Monitor. The four menus of
    the menu bar are File, View, Monitor, and Help.
    File MenuAccess the Exit command from the File menu. This command closes the TASKE
    ACD Monitor application.
    View MenuUse the View menu to toggle between the Real-time and Replay modes. Use the

    The Main Control Panel
    The Main Control Panel is located on the left side of the ACD Monitor window.
    This section of the window is responsible for:
    Ÿ Mode selection
    Ÿ Display of system date and time in the Real-time mode
    Ÿ Pilot list display and setup
    Ÿ Date selection in replay mode
    Ÿ Replay control 
    						
    							ACD Monitor                                     TASKE Call Center Management Tools Version 7.0-5-Mode SelectionThe two buttons located at the top of the Main Control Panel
    are the mode selection buttons. These buttons toggle between
    the Real-time and Replay modes.
    Date and TimeIn the Real-time mode both the current date and time are
    displayed for read-only purposes. In the Replay mode, the date
    is provided in a box that allows for the selection of the replay
    date and the time displays the time of day that is being
    replayed.
    Pilot Monitor ListThe Pilot Monitor List displays the Pilots and Pilot Groups being
    monitored. Clicking the Pilots/Groups button accesses the
    Pilot/Group Selection window where Pilots and Pilot Groups
    are added or removed from the Pilot Monitor List. The Pilot
    Monitor List provides a button for each Pilot and Pilot Group
    selected in the Pilot/Group Selection window. Select one or
    more Pilots from the Pilot Monitor List to display the Pilot
    information in the PIDA.
    Replay Date SelectionUse the date box in the Replay mode to select a date for
    the data replay. Double-click in the date box to choose a
    date from the calendar in the Select Dates dialog box.
    Replay ControlIn the replay mode set the replay speed and control the
    replay of data on the Main Control Panel. Similar to VCR
    controls, the replay controls maneuver throughout the
    days data. In addition, use the Trigger button to pause the
    replay at a specific time.
    The Pilot Information Display Area
    Occupying the window area to the right of the Main Control Panel, the Pilot
    Information Display Area (PIDA) presents statistical and performance information
    for Pilots and Pilot Groups based on queue and agent activity. The information
    displayed in the PIDA is dependent on the Pilots and Pilot Groups selected from
    the Pilot Monitor List. Information is presented numerically, graphically, and
    tabularly in both the Real-time mode and the Replay mode. 
    						
    							ACD Monitor                                     TASKE Call Center Management Tools Version 7.0-6-Selection of a Pilot or Pilot Group from the Pilot Monitor List displays the Pilot
    Panel for the selection in the PIDA. If none of the Pilots or Pilot Groups are
    selected from the Pilot Monitor List, the Pilot Panels for all of the monitored Pilots
    and Pilot Groups are displayed in the PIDA.
    Pilot Panels house the graph control buttons that provide call center statistics
    and performance information. For those graph control buttons that represent a
    call center statistic, the numeric value of the statistic is visible on the button.
    Clicking any of the graph
    control buttons provides a
    graphical or tabular view of the
    call center information. The
    graph control buttons are
    arranged on the Pilot Panel by
    time: Now, Last Hour, and Last
    12 Hours.
    To aid in the global
    assessment of the call center
    operations, multiple Pilots and
    Pilot Groups can be selected
    from the Pilot Monitor List and
    viewed simultaneously. The
    PIDA self-scales to accommodate multiple Pilots. When there is more information
    than the PIDA can display, a scroll bar is provided for viewing the Pilot
    information that cannot be displayed.
    The view of each Pilot and Pilot Group in the PIDA is customizable to eliminate
    unnecessary screen clutter. The Pilot Panels in the PIDA constantly display the
    Now statistics, but the Last Hour and Last 12 Hours information is expandable
    and collapsible as needed. Clicking a graph control button on a Pilot Panel
    accesses a graphical or tabular report. The display of the reports are optional for
    each displayed Pilot or Pilot Group and only one report per Pilot or Pilot Group
    can be displayed at a time.Pilot/Pilot

    							ACD Monitor                                     TASKE Call Center Management Tools Version 7.0-7-Accessing the Real-time and Replay Modes
    The two buttons located at the top of the Main Control Panel toggle between the Real-
    time mode and the Replay modes.
    Real-time Mode
    The Real-time mode displays call center activity that spans the past
    12-hours. Call center statistics are divided into three sections: Now,
    Last Hour, and Last 12 Hours. Updated constantly, the Now statistics
    provide a dynamic view of the current call center activity. The Last
    Hour and Last 12 Hours reports provide a shift overview using the call center
    statistics compiled over the selected time frame. When in the Real-time mode,
    the application title bar states TASKE ACD Monitor, whereas the titlebar states
    TASKE ACD Monitor - Replay when the application is functioning in the Replay
    mode.
    Using the features of the Real-time mode, call center management is simplified.
    Agent and queue status is reported in real-time using a number of reporting
    formats. These formats include the numerical display of Now statistics on the
    Pilot Panel, a graphical view of the Now statistics, a tabular view of the agent
    queue, and user-definable agent maps that allow users to group agents logically
    while displaying their status.
    The Last Hour and Last 12 Hours statistics provide material for shift evaluation.
    Review service percentages, telephone service factors, queue traffic, and agent
    performance. Reporting formats for the Last Hour and the Last 12 Hours include
    the numerical display of the statistics on the Pilot Panel, a graph for each
    statistic, a graphical performance evaluation of the agents by group, and an
    agent utilization graph that displays the agent states for the last hour.
    Replay Mode
    The Replay mode is an animated review of a 24-hour period that
    shares the reports of the Real-time mode. Using the same Now, Last
    Hour, and Last 12 Hours reports, select a date with logged call center
    data. As the replay progresses, the time indicates the time of day the
    replay is displaying. The time is presented in 24-hour format and its speed of
    progression depends on the replay speed. When in the Replay mode, the
    application title bar states TASKE ACD Monitor - Replay, whereas the title bar
    simply states TASKE ACD Monitor when the application is functioning in the
    Real-time mode.
    The Speed slider control determines the speed of the replay. At its slowest, the
    data is replayed in real-time, where one second equals one second. At its fastest,
    the data is replayed at 1000 times the real-time increments, meaning that one
    millisecond equals one second. Between these two extremes, the replay speeds 
    						
    							ACD Monitor                                     TASKE Call Center Management Tools Version 7.0-8-range from 2 times to 999 times the real-time increments. The speed is
    changeable while the replay is in progress, allowing users to quickly move
    through the information and slow it down when an in-depth analysis is required.
    Located on the Main Control Panel, the controls for the replay are similar to that
    of a VCR. Use the replay controls to maneuver throughout the days data. To
    further control the replay of data, select thresholds based on call center
    conditions or a specific time of day that pause the replay when the selected
    conditions are encountered.
    Using the Pilot Panels to View Pilot Activity
    The Pilot Panels are the access points for the information provided by the TASKE ACD
    Monitor application. The graph control buttons on the Pilot Panels provide statistical and
    performance information for Pilots based on queue and agent activity.
    Pilot Panels present Pilot information via the graph control buttons. Those graph control
    buttons that represent a call center statistic provide the numeric value of the statistic on
    the button. Clicking any of the graph control buttons provides a report below the Pilot
    Panel in the form of a bar graph or a table.
    The graph control buttons are arranged on the Pilot Panels in three branches: Now,
    Last Hour, and Last 12 Hours. Now is the top branch of graph control buttons and these
    represent the current call center conditions. Last Hour is the middle branch of graph
    control buttons and these represent the call center conditions over the last 60 minutes.
    Last 12 Hours is the bottom branch of graph control buttons and these represent the call
    center conditions over the past 12 hours.
    Pilot Panels are selected for display on the Pilot Monitor List. When a Pilot Panel is
    displayed, the Now branch of graph control buttons is visible and the name of the Pilot
    or Pilot Group is presented in the top, left corner. The Now branch of graph control
    buttons is always displayed, however, the Last Hour and Last 12 Hour branches are
    hidden. These branches are collapsible and expandable to provide the information only
    when needed. Click the Last Hour and Last 12 Hours icons to display or hide these
    branches of graph control buttons.
    An icon represents each button on the Pilot Panels. The Last Hour and Last 12 Hours
    branches share the same icons, as the reports for both branches are the same. The
    only difference is the time span of the reports. 
    						
    							ACD Monitor                                     TASKE Call Center Management Tools Version 7.0-9-The Replay mode adds the Trigger button to the Now branch of graph control buttons.
    This button allows users to select specific call center conditions that will stop the replay
    when the selected conditions are encountered in the call center records.
