Telephone - Average time to get next contact – manual dial fail
The average time to retrieve the next contact for a specific project when using manual dial and unsuccessfully retrieving the sample.
The “time to get next contact – manual dial fail” is the time spent unsuccessfully retrieving a new sample record from sample management in the session engine. The counter value is significant only for telephone projects that are setup for manual dial. The time does not include the network transport time; it is only the internal session engine handling time.
Telephone - Maximum time to get next contact – manual dial fail
The maximum time to retrieve the next contact for a specific project when using manual dial and unsuccessfully retrieving the sample.
Telephone - Average time to get next contact – auto dial
The average time to retrieve the next contact for a specific project when using auto dial and successfully connecting to the sample.
The “time to get next contact – auto dial” is the time spent successfully retrieving a new sample record from sample management in the session engine.
