Estimated Waiting Time on UCCX

After doing some experiments, found out that Estimated Waiting Time on UCCX 9.0 (and possible other UCCX versions) is based on a 24 hours average an NOT in a 5 minutes average value as in ICM or IPCC Enterprise.
Several post on the community INCORRECTLY pointed out that EWT is based on a 5 minutes average.
Does somebody knows how to change the time windows that UCCX uses to calculated EWT?
Thanks
Alex

Two TAC cases that confirm that is 24 hours AND some testing I did (just in case):
Process:
- Make a few calls to a Queue, place some of the on hold for about 20-40 minutes and answer one of them for about 1-2 hour. (to create some statistics)
- Wait 22 hours
- Make two quick calls, answer first and the second was already showing a EWT of 3000 seconds. (confirms that at least 23 hours of data was taking into consideration)
-  Wait 26 hours.
-  Make two quick calls, answer first and the second was showing a EWT of 20s (normal) (confirm that after 24-25 hours counters goes down to 0 if there is no traffic)
I realize my process is empirical, but somehow confirm that is not 5 minutes, more closer to 23-25 hours.

  • UCCX Estimated Wait Time w/ default time?

    Does anyone have a script for Estimated Wait Time that has a default wait time?  For example if the "default time" is 2 mintues and the actual EWT is 14 seconds it would say "2 mintues".  if the actual EWT then climbs to 6min 15 sec, it would say "6 minutes 15 seconds".
    We're getting complaints when a rash of calls comes in and our EWT isn't able to calculate the trending change fast enough.
    UCCX 7.x

    If your call center doesn't have a steady call volume or agents sign on/off frequently then you could try using the average wait time instead of the estimated wait time.  The average will be less volitile.

  • UCCX Estimated Waiting Time

    Hello, I'm trying to add EWT to a script, once the call reaches the queue they hear:" your estimated waiting time is 1 minute" and then:"we are experiencing some system problem" error message. What I did in the "Select Resource “under the Queue I add "Get Reporting Statistic" with the setting Expected waiting time and CSQ IPCC Express. Also I placed a "Switch “tag for the AVG waiting time in minute  and I configure 1 to 10 with .wav file for each minute. Any suggestion? the software is UCCX 5 enhanced.I'm attaching the file. can somebody direct on me what i'm missing or send me a file to use as a tamplate?
    Thanks.

    The message "we are experiencing network problems" usually means 2 possible things:
    1. some java exception occured while your script was running
    2. your script has ended without hanging up
    Run script in interactive debug and you will see what exactly is going on.

  • Estimated Wait Time Message -IPCC Enterprise

    Hello all. Our senior management would like to implement a queue message of 'your call will be answered in approx. x mins.'
    Using ICM 6.0sr2 and IPIVR, is this possible out of the box, or do we need some sort of plug-in? If it is possible, could someone point me to some IVR/ICM ideas of how to pull the estimated wait time? Thanks!

    Here is the calculation described in Cisco documentation:
    (# calls queued including current call  *  average handle time) / (# agents ready)
    It is described in the media scripting guide page 228: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/icm_enterprise/icm_enterprise_7_5/user/guide/ipce75sg.pdf
    Keep in mind this calculation works best with high and steady call volumes, otherwise it may not be very accurate.

  • UCCX 8 Estimated Wait Time

    I have it scripted and the correct prompts play based on the stat that is retrieved. However, I was wondering if anyone knew the formula on how it is calculated.

  • Wait time announcement on UCCX

    Hi all,
    Our customer have a requirement to play back the wait time using UCCX IVR, in short when the customer calls and placed in to queue, IVR has to playback the wait time to the customer , which will help them to know how long they need to wait in queue until to get an available agent.
    Let me know how this can be done using the UCCX script.
    UCCX Version: 7.1
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Shaijal

    HI Shaijal
    Yes, this is possible. The attached link gives a very brief overview of what you need to do:
    http://www.learnios.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=26675
    Basically your script can use the "Get Reporting Statistic" on the CSQ to retrieve the estimated wait time (in seconds). Once you have this information in variable within a script you can then play a prompt etc. I would use your script to round up to the nearest minute.
    The above forum post is from back in 2006 and version 4.x, however still looks valid to me.
    There's a good point in the post about replaying wait times / queue positions if the caller is on hold. If you have implemented priority queuing for incoming callers there is a chance that people's queue times could increase if higher priority calls come in so be careful.
    Hope this helps. Barry

  • UCCX 9 Script wait time`

    Is there a way in UCCX to let callers know that if the estimated wait time is more than 5 minutes or less than 5 minutes to prompt? I'm being asked that the caller only be told if their place in queue is less than 5 or more than 5 minutes; not exact times. I realize this could be frustrating to hear as a call if you've been on hold for 35 minutes to hear, "Your estimated wait time is greater than 5 minutes." But that's what I'm being asked....
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes you can, first, only play the prompt once when the caller first gets into the queue. Then dont play the estimated time after that.
    Ues the Get Reporting Statisic and put in on an INT.
    Then use an IF Statement for more or less than 5 minutes.
    Let me know if you need more help, I am out of the office right now, but can post a sample latter.

  • Wallboard: convoldestContact vs Expected Wait Time

    We use the opensource wallboard version 2.4(beta), and it pulls from the UCCX database two variables convoldestContact and convLongestWaitDuration.  Does anyone have specific definitions for those?  The wallboard software calls Current Wait Time and Longest Wait Time, but I'm wondering how they're really calculated.
    We're testing an Expected Wait Time feature of our script via the Get Reporting steps, and the value being calculated is considerably different than the wallboard Current Wait Time.  But I suspect that the wallboard version is reflecting something different -- perhaps the wait time when the most recent caller entered the queue (since it doesn't seem to be changing as that caller waits).
    Thanks
    Bill

    Your suspicion is correct.  The wallboard is not performing an expected wait calculation.  It's simply reporting how long the longest current caller has been in queue.  The Get Reporting step is estimating wait time by a number of factors. 
    For example if you have 10 agents logged in taking calls, and 9 log out, you'll see Estimated Wait Time skyrocket, while convOldestContact will simply keep counting how long the oldest caller has been in queue. 

  • Uccx 9.0 expected wait time returns a -1 value

    Guys I am trying to use the expected wait time feature in UCCX, however the value returned is -1 each time this step is executed. All the other feature such as average wait time etc all works, its just the expected wait time that doesnt. Any ideas please?

    During your tests, the call activating the script you are debugging is actually in queue and with a real wait time?
    I could find any related bug, can you check this links:
    Link1 -- Link2
    I will try to find additional information.

  • Uccx expected wait time calculation

    Does anyone know how the calculation is done for the expected wait time in the get reporting statistic step (UCCX 7.0.1)? Thanks in advance.

    I don't know if you've seen this ... but pg 324 (2-306) of the editor step reference guide gives a description of how the ewt is calculated. It doesn't give an exact formula though....

  • Time machine preparing forever and spotlight estimating indexing time

    hey guys,
    Im having two problems that seem to be related. time machine gets stuck on preparing with the following error in console:
    Jul 18 17:03:19 Macintosh-5 /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[6926]: Waiting for index to be ready (905 > 0)
    Spotlight is also acting up and freezes indefinitely whilst estimating indexing time with the following console error:
    Jul 18 17:03:44 Macintosh-5 mds[94]: (Error) Server: mdsync launch failed: (ipc/send) invalid destination port
    I have not been able to find much on this last error on support forums. Any ideas? I have erased all spotlight indices, reset PRAM, this problems occurs when indexing both the internal and external hard drives. (The drive i am using for time machine has worked in the past.) I have also repaired disk permission etc. Any solutions without reinstalling leopard as the reason why i am trying to back up is so I can do a reinstall then!
    Thanks!

    I had this exact problem yesterday (Waiting for index to be ready (905 > 0)). I rebooted with the shift key held down, rebooted again, and rebuilt my Spotlight index. Now there seems to be a conflict between Spotlight and Time Machine:
    Aug 26 05:03:08 Musa /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[702]: Waiting for Spotlight to finish indexing /Volumes/Backup of Musa/Backups.backupdb
    I thought of adding the backup drive to Spotlight's exclusion list, but doesn't the backup drive need to be indexed by Spotlight for it to work with Time Machine?

  • CAD Wrap-up wait time

    Hi Friends,
    I am using CAD with UCCX 9.0.2.
    I need help to configure wait time in wrap-up code. Currently when the agent hang-up the call the wrap-up code window pop up and agent goes in ready state immediately after selecting that code. I need to configure wait time for 2 min after agent select the wrap-up code, agent should get 2 min wait time before going to in ready state.
    Regards,
    Dinesh Joshi

    You'll want to check the Automatic State Changes configuration in Cisco Desktop Administrator. From the guide:
    "By default, automatic state changes are not enabled. After agents enter wrap-up data, they remain in the Work state for the length of time set for the wrap-up timer or until they change states manually, whichever happens first. (The wrap-up timer value is configured in Unified CCX Administration.)
    If automatic state changes are enabled, agents are automatically changed from the
    Work state to the Ready state (or to the Not Ready state, if they select that state while
    still on a call) after they enter wrap-up data.
    Automatic state changes can be enabled or disabled only on the work flow group level.
    To enable or disable automatic state changes:
    1.Select the Wrap-up Data node under the work flow group whose automatic state changes you want to enable or disable.
    2.Select or clear the Enable Automatic State Change check box.
    3.Click Apply.

  • "Your expected wait time is" IVR

    Hey guys, I'm still fairly new at creating IVRs and I've been tasked with creating a script that tells callers how long their wait time is.  It doesn't have to be complicated and it doesn't have to be dynamic.  It just needs to figure out the expected wait time and then I can create a prompt that says "your wait time is under 5 minutes" or "over 5 minutes", it doesn't have to be specific.  I'm sure this has been done quite a few times but I haven't found anything for it.
    I'm using UCCX 5.02

    Hi
    Yeah, it's pretty easy... and you're wise to keep it simple.
    Basically:
    - create a string var,
    - add a 'Get Reporting Statistic' referring to your CSQ and the 'expected wait duration' which sets the variable above. This will return a number of seconds.
    - add an 'IF' (yourstringvariable > 300), play prompt 'you will be waiting more than 5 minutes' or in the 'false' branch, 'you will be waiting less than five minutes'.
    Sometimes it can return -1 (if you misconfig the CSQ setting, or if the system can't calculate a time because there are no agents etc). Best to check for that as well...
    Regards
    Aaron

  • The wait time and resolve time is DEPLORABLE

    Today is the third day in a row I have called into Verizon for the same issue. Day one spent 25 minutes on hold and NEVER got to speak to a person before I hung up. Day 2 Had a 15 minute hold before I spoke with someone, who then told me I had to speak to directv about something that was related to the Verizon part of my service, called directv confirmed it was a Verizon thing with a supervisor. Called BACK into Verizon waited for 30 minutes before I spoke with someone, got 30 seconds worth of talk in before another 15 minute hold, he came back on no apology not anything about the absolute rudeness and lack of courtesy. He told me they would have it fixed by the end of the day. Now here it is the nest day still not resolved, So I write this (while on hold waiting to have the call answered, its been 20 minutes) She finally did answer and was down right rude and through me right back on hold. I am so fed up with big business...

    Agree.  I rarely wait more than a minute or two.  And except at really off hours don't hear a foreign accent.  NY area.
