Reporting inconsistencies
« on: September 15, 2009, 20:17:01 »
We just noticed that QM will show different results for "Unanswered Call Wait Time Per Hour" for a specific time period:

we ran the report at 9:22 and it showed 3 unanswered calls:
8:15, 8:30, 9:15 (1 missed call each)

then the report was run again at 9:26, and it only showed 2:
8:15, 8:30

Needless to say, this is causing a lot of problems :(


Both reports were run exactly the same way (Quick activity reports: today for a specific set of queues).  This was happening with QM 1.4.7, we've upgraded to 1.5.4 and it still shows inconsistencies.

This is by design - when you run a report from 9:00 to 10:00 you will only see data that was written between 9:00 and 10:00 - so if a call was started at 9:59 and answered at 10:01, the call at 10:00 would display as "Lost - Ongoing".

Basically, it's better to run reports for longer time periods, and then drill doewn to the events you are actually interested in.

well, the problem is that this reports different data for the same report, for events in the past (not calls that are still in progress).

For example, a report that runs at 10:00 will show that for 8:00 - 8:15 there were 2 unanswered calls, but running exactly the same report at 11:00 this will show that there was only 1 unanswered call from 8:00 - 8:15... unanswered calls are effectively disappearing from our reports.

I can see data changing for current time periods if a call is still in progress, but I think for older data the numbers shouldn't change.
