Agent Idle Time

Custom Agent Performance and Idle Time Dashboard

Logged in. Marked Ready. Not actually handling calls. The quiet pattern that silently costs you leads every shift.

Every call center has it. The agent who comes online, flips to Ready, and then takes two calls in four hours while the queue backs up. We build a dashboard that surfaces the pattern the day it happens, not after the quarter ends.

Standard modules on this dashboard

Every build is custom. These are the modules we ship most often for this use case. Mix and match, add new ones, drop what you don't need.

Ready Time vs On Call Time

Per agent, per shift. Spot the ratio that is suspicious before the pattern becomes a problem.

Idle Streaks

How long an agent stayed Ready without a call. Sorted longest-first so the obvious outliers float up.

Not Ready Reasons

Available on phone systems that provide Not Ready reason codes, and we can add it where they do. See which codes each agent uses most: lunch, break, coaching, system.

Per-Shift Trend

Idle time by day of week and hour. Spot structural issues (bad scheduling) vs individual issues (bad agent).

Side by Side With Peers

Each agent compared against their team average. Objective, not opinion.

Alert Rules

Define thresholds — alert the supervisor when an agent is Ready for 30 minutes without a call, or when a team average dips below a floor.

Agent performance reporting examples

Screens from dashboards we have built on CallTrackingMetrics. Agent names have been replaced.

01

Who is ready, on a call, or away

Agent activity: who is Ready, On Call, or Not Ready right now, with each agent’s state changes over the last hour. Agent names and activity are illustrative.

  • Live counts of active and not-ready agents
  • A timeline of every state change per agent
  • Event counts show who has been busy
Illustrative data
02

Who is taking the calls

Calls by agent: answered, missed, and outbound. Calls nobody picked up are grouped as (no agent).

  • Answered, missed, and outbound per agent
  • Calls that never reached an agent get their own row
  • Busiest agents at the top
Client dashboard, names replaced
03

Each agent’s numbers in one table

KPIs per agent: total calls, answered, missed, percent missed, outbound, and talk time.

  • Missed calls and % missed per agent
  • Outbound calls next to inbound
  • Talk time for every agent

KPIs

KPIs per agent

The same handful of numbers for every agent, so a conversation about performance starts from facts.

Calls answered

Inbound calls each agent picked up, by day and by shift.

Calls missed and percent missed

Calls that rang an agent and went unanswered, as a count and as a share of their inbound calls.

Outbound calls

Including the callbacks each agent made to missed callers.

Talk time

Total time on calls for the period.

Ready vs. Not Ready time

How much of the shift each agent was available. This view depends on agent state, which CallTrackingMetrics provides and CallRail does not.

Next to the team average

Every agent shown against their team, so one bad day does not look like a pattern and a real pattern does not hide.

4. Launch + maintain

The dashboard refreshes every five minutes. We monitor it and add views as you grow.

FAQ

Common questions

It is the same data your phone system already tracks. We present it in a way that lets supervisors coach early instead of fire late. Most agents prefer it — the good ones get noticed.
