In this article

Overview

The Queues data source is one of several data sources available for creating reports in App. To learn more about data sources in general, please see: Overview: Data sources for reports (App).

With the Queues data source, you can create reports that show you activity surrounding a queue (or several queues).

You can use this data source to retrieve information like:

• What queues are active on my account?

• Which users have logged into which queues?

• What is the current status of users in this queue?

• What is the weight of each queue on the account and how do they compare to each other (i.e which is the highest weighted? Which is the lowest weighted?, etc.)

• Which queues have tag routing enabled?

• When was a queue created?

Use case

The most commonly created report with this data source is a queue activity report.

With a queue activity report, you can see all of the users logged into a specified queue and their current status.

For example, you could use a queue activity report to show:

• Which users are logged into a certain queue?

• What are the users’ statuses? 

• When were their statuses last updated?

• What changed a user’s status, like was it automatically changed by the system (i.e. queue user was set to ‘Q Auto Offline’ after missing a maximum amount of interactions), by the queue user themselves, or by another queue user like a manager?

In other words, you can use a queue activity report to get a sense of the real-time activity of your users in a queue or to understand some basic information about the queues built on your account.
