**The Live Call Dashboard is currently supported for accounts with fewer than 50 agents and less than 10K monthly call volumes. It will continue to function as-is for customers who already have it enabled.**

Once this is enabled, you can access the dashboard via the left navigation (Live → Dashboard) or directly using this link: [https://test.mum1.exotel.com/ccm/#/dashboard/overview](https://test.mum1.exotel.com/ccm/#/dashboard/overview). It provides an overview of your contact center live metrics and today’s activity.

***

## Overview Tab

The Overview tab contains high-level live and “today’s activity” metrics for your entire account or for selected groups.

### Filters

- **Group Filter**
  - Applies to both Live and Today’s activity metrics.
  - **Default:** All Calls (all groups + ungrouped calls)
  - You may select one or more groups.
- **Time (Today's activity so far)**
  - View metrics for today (system timezone) or drill down to the last 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours.

### Refresh rate

- Live sections (Live Calls and Live Agent Status) auto-refresh every few seconds.
- Today’s activity metrics require a manual refresh or page reload. The dashboard shows when it was last updated (e.g., “last updated x minutes ago”).

### Metrics

### Live Calls

- **Total Calls:** Active calls (sum of In Queue + In Progress Calls).

**Incoming**

- **In Queue:** Number of callers in queue (if queueing is enabled). If a group filter is applied, shows queued calls for the selected group(s).
- **In Progress Calls:** Active calls assigned to agents (incoming or outgoing). With a group filter, shows active calls for agents in that group.

**Outgoing**

- **In Progress Calls:** Active outgoing calls assigned to agents. With a group filter, shows active calls for agents in that group.

### Live agent status

- **Busy (On-Call):** Agents assigned to an active call (ringing/attempted or in conversation).
- **Available (Idle):** Agents free to take calls.
- **Offline:** Agents who have turned themselves off and cannot receive calls.
- **Total Agents:** Total agents in your account or selected group.

### Today's activity so far (Incoming Calls)

- **Call Volume:** Total calls received on your Exophones for today or the selected time window.
- **Completed Calls:** Calls that resulted in an answered conversation. If multiple agents were attempted but at least one answered, it counts as completed.
- **Missed Calls:** Calls where agents were attempted but no one answered. Examples:
  - Agent device rang but was not picked up (timeout/caller disconnected).
  - Agent phone unreachable/busy or network issues prevented connection.
  - If multiple agents were attempted and no one answered, it counts as one missed call.
  - If agents were attempted and the caller was queued again and disconnected, it is still a missed call.
- **Abandoned Calls:** Calls hung up with no agent assignment. Examples:
  - Disconnected by caller in greeting or IVR (not applicable if group filter is selected).
  - Disconnected by system due to off-hours or other termination (not applicable if group filter is selected).
  - Disconnected by caller in queue (no agent attempted; applicable with group filter).
- **Average Talk Time:** Average time agents spend in conversation (calculated only for completed calls).
- **Average Queue Time:** Average time callers spend in queue (answered + unanswered).
- **Longest Queue Time:** Maximum time a caller spent in queue for a call (sum across multiple queues if applicable).
- **Average Abandon Time:** Average wait time before callers hang up (considers calls abandoned in IVR/Queue).
- **Average Speed of Answer:** Time from dialing attempt to agent answer (if no queue, time from dial start until pick up). Calculated only for answered calls.

### Today's activity so far (Outgoing Calls)

- **Call Volume:** Total outgoing calls for today or the selected window.
- **Completed Calls:** Calls answered by the other party (counts as completed if at least one agent answered).
- **Average Talk Time:** Average talk time for completed outgoing calls.
- **Customer Unanswered:** Agent answered but customer leg did not reach answered state (e.g., canceled, busy, no-answer). (Leg1Status = Completed && Leg2Status != Completed)
- **Agent Unanswered:** Agent was attempted but the call did not become answered due to non-completed reasons (busy, no-answer, failed). (Leg1Status != Completed)

### Prev. Day / Change

- **Prev. day:** Metrics for the previous day up to the same time.
  *Example:* Viewing at Wednesday 2:00 PM shows Tuesday’s stats from 12:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
- **Change%:** Relative change vs previous day: `((B - A) / A) * 100` where `B` = today, `A` = previous day.
  *Example:* Prev day call volume 100 → today 150 ⇒ +50% (UP). If completed calls drop from 80% → 40% ⇒ -50% (DOWN).
- **Behavior on "Last x hours" filter:** Prev. day and Change% are computed for the same time window on the previous day.
  *Example:* Viewing at 4:00 PM with “last 2 hours” compares 2:00–4:00 PM today vs 2:00–4:00 PM previous day.

:::BlockQuote
**Note:** Outgoing calls initiated via the Voice Platform API and not answered by the agent are not considered call center calls and will not appear against the agent on this dashboard. To capture agent data for outgoing calls via API, route calls via the Outgoing CCM API or trigger via the Exotel Dashboard.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Behavior of Missed Calls in the Live Call Dashboard (LCD)

A call is marked as **missed** only if **none of the agents in the group answers it**.
For example, if a call rings for four agents sequentially and the fifth agent answers, it **will not** be displayed as a missed call in the LCD.

This distinction ensures that the dashboard accurately represents only **unanswered calls that need follow-up**, rather than calls eventually answered after multiple attempts.

### Updating Queued Calls

The Live Call Dashboard **refreshes every 10 seconds**, so changes in the queue may not appear instantly.
If a caller seems stuck in the queue for longer than 10 seconds, review the following:

- **Verify Queue Music Duration:**
  Check whether the queue music exceeds 10 seconds. A longer track may make it seem like the caller is stuck.
- **Investigate Potential Issues:**
  If the queue music duration is reasonable but the caller still appears stuck, contact support at [hello@exotel.in](mailto\:hello@exotel.in).

Do note this feature is currently under **Private Beta**. For feedback or bugs, email [hello@exotel.com](mailto\:hello@exotel.com).
