Creating the report

To create the report

2. In the Reports library, click New report.
3. On the Select a dataset page, click Talk > Talk - Calls, then click Start report. The report builder opens.
4. In the Metrics panel, click Add.
5. From the list of metrics, click Inbound calls > Inbound calls, then click Apply.
6. Now, you'll create a custom Standard calculated attribute to calculate the number of calls that were abandoned during the initial greeting. From the Calculations () menu, click Standard calculated attribute.
7. On the Standard attribute attribute page, enter a name for your attribute, such as Calls abandoned in greeting. 
8. In the Formula field, enter or paste the following:

   IF ([Call completion status]="Abandoned in queue"
   AND VALUE(Call wait time (sec))=0)
   THEN "Abandoned in greeting"
   ELSE [Call completion status]
   ENDIF

   Your standard calculated attribute will look like the following image.

   

9. In the Columns panel, click Add.
10. From the list of attributes, choose Calculated attribute > Calls abandoned in greeting (the metric you just created). 

The report is complete. See the image below for an example of how it will look.

You can use date attributes in this report to filter the results by a specific date range. For more information, see the article Editing dates and date ranges.
