QueueMetrics version 1.6.0 has been released today. This long awaited release offers a large number of improvements and new developments. Some are worth pointing out:
* Reports are not fixed anymore but dynamic - you can have different users access different reports, or create targeted reports for different people or situations. This is an important feature - see Section 18.9 of the User Manual.
* Agent groups are a new way to group together agents; we suggest using them in order to track agents by seniority or work position. New reports available.
* It is now possible to use Asterisk 1.6's native database log format instead of Qloaderd. This does not work for clustered systems but may be very handy.
* New payroll export keeps track of who worked where in your call-center and provides data to external payroll applications.
* The Quality Assessment section ahs been much improved, and a new Grader's page lets you meet monitoring targets easily.
* A couple of new rich reports: Agent performance by ACD Group and Traffic analysis by period let you monitor the overall poerformance of your Call center moire easily.

You can download the latest version immediately from the downloads page.As an alternative, if you run RHEL or CentOS (or any distribution derived from them, like e.g. TrixBox, Nerd Vittles and AsteriskNOW), you can install it automatically using yum - see the installation page.
If you would like to write a language pack for your native language, it's very easy and it only takes a couple of hours' work. See the Translating QueueMetrics document from the Manuals page.
