The value of the Received calls parameter agrees with the total of the values for the parameters

Received calls also functions as a heading, summarising what the parameters under the heading relate to, namely how the received calls are processed. Under this heading, the Calls answered by agent, and Lost when closed, no logged in agent or incorrect menu choice parameters are found. The parameters under the heading all describe what has happened with handled calls. Any difference between the sum of the values of these parameters and the value of Received calls represents calls that have not yet been handled.

The same applies to parameters relating to the processing of callback records, and the processing of incoming email and chat.

A special mechanism should be kept in mind, when you interpret the Escalated to another organisation area parameter:

If a call is escalated via an escalation point from a first organisation area to a second, and the call then returns to the IVR, the call will also return to the first organisation area. This return takes place via what can be viewed as an implicit escalation point. An implicit escalation point is created by the system itself and, unlike a normal escalation point, will not be configured in CallGuide Admin. The Escalated to another organisation area parameter includes contacts escalated via implicit escalation points.
