Threshold
Up to three threshold rules can be set for the Live Contacts in Progress (Outbound) metric. To learn more about how to use thresholds, see Configuring Talkdesk Live Widgets: Overview.
While thresholds can be set for any widget, as a best practice, we generally recommend they be reserved for metrics that are averages or percentages, rather than for metrics that are counts of contacts, such as outbound contacts in progress.
Filters
You can filter the Live Contacts in Progress (Outbound) metric by ring group and by team.
For voice channel, the ring group filter applies to the ring group selected at the time the agent dials the number. It is either selected by the agent when placing the call, or it is automatically assigned by the system. See Configuring an Outbound Caller ID for more information.
For all other channels, the ring group filter applies to the Reporting Ring Group designated in the flow.
The team filter applies to the team assigned to the agent who is handling the contact.
See Configuring Talkdesk Live Widgets: Overview for important information about how widget filters are applied to metrics.
