Use Evaluation Sessions to provide to identify the skill sets of your agents, as well as any skill gaps that need to be filled by additional training. This page describes how to perform an evaluation session and how you can subsequently modify and/or archive it.

Perform an evaluation session

Important
When performing an evaluation session, you can always click the Clear Form option at the bottom of the form to clear all of your input.
  1. Click Quality > Evaluation Sessions. The Evaluation Sessions grid appears.
  2. Click the name of the evaluation you want to perform.
    Important
    If you select an Unassigned evaluation session, you will be asked to confirm that the specific session should be assigned to you.
  3. From the Form list at the top of the screen, select the first form you want to fill out. Once you complete the selected form, continue filling out the remaining forms.
  4. Answer the questions provided. If necessary, click +More to view the entire question.
    Important
    You cannot complete an evaluation session without answering all the required form questions. Required form questions are marked with a red star.
  5. Click the Play icon Smicon arrow.png to playback the interaction to hear the discussion between the agent and the customer. (optional). For more information about playing an interaction, refer to Media Player.
  6. Click the inactive Show score option Showscore.png to enable the evaluator to see the evaluation session scores during the evaluation and a final score when the evaluation is completed. For more details about scores see Configure question weights.
  7. If the interaction is not suitable in any way (for example, poor audio/video quality, irrelevant interaction, and so on), you can click the Replace Interaction icon Refreshgrid.png to select a different interaction for the evaluation session (optional).
    Important
    The Replace Interaction option is only available in evaluation sessions associated with interactions derived from search criteria. Evaluation sessions associated with manually selected interactions, Calibration evaluations and Ad-Hoc evaluations will not include the Replace Interaction option. Replacing the interaction associated with the evaluation session will reset all the answers in the form(s) associated with the same evaluation session.
  8. Select one of the following options.
    Important
    When an evaluation session is completed, the interaction associated with the evaluation session is automatically tagged Evaluated. The Evaluated tag (visible both in the Search Filters and the Search Results grid) enables you to recognize interactions that have already been part of an evaluation session and subsequently prevents evaluated interactions from being reused.

Archive an evaluation session

Archiving evaluation sessions enables you to remove sessions no longer needed online, but which must still be accessible at a later date if required. That is, archived sessions will be removed from the session grid, and will only be visible when the user filters to view archived sessions. By limiting the number of sessions that appear, archiving also enables you to maximize performance by minimizing search and filter response times.

There is one type of archiving option:

Important
You can only archive completed and expired evaluation sessions.

Manually archive an evaluation session

  1. Select Quality > Evaluation Sessions. A list of evaluation sessions appears.
  2. Select the evaluation sessions you want to archive.
  3. Click the Archive button Archivenew.png. The selected sessions are removed from the grid and archived.
    Important
    If the Archive button is not visible, you do not have the permission required for archiving sessions.
