General Information for Chat
In the General information tab, you will find time spent in queue and chat conversation time with agent(s). This is the same structure as with phone calls.
Please note that if the agent who's connected to the customer invites another agent into the chat, and both agents are connected at the same time before agent1 or agent2 leaves the chat, we do not generate a Consult event for the two agents' overlapping connected/speak time (as we do for Phone calls). In these chat cases the 2nd Conversation event actually starts before the 1st ends, but this is not shown in the chart. And, if the agent who's connected to the customer invites any agent from another Queue into the chat, the time the agent waits in queue is shown as a Queue event and not as a Consult to queue event, as is the case for phone calls.
Who ended the chat first
For chats connected to an agent we will show who ended the chat first (Hang up first). The normal situation is that the chatter disconnects first, and that the agent a bit later closes the chat dialog tab in the Agent application. If the agent tries to close a chat tab in the Agent application before the chatter has disconnected, a warning is given but the agent can close it.
Chat tab showing chat log (aka chat transcript)
Under the Chat tab, the actual chat text is shown. If 'Require Reason for playback/delete/download' is configured (on page Users - Products under Recording), the user must give a reason before we show the chat log.
If you need a copy of the text, select the text and copy it to your computer's clipboard, and then paste it into a document or email. Or, select the chat in the right margin and choose Download to get an xml-file with the text.
If an agent sends a file (chat attachment) to the customer during the chat, this file name is shown as a text entry/link from the agent in the Chat, and when the customer clicks on it, it's downloaded. Since the file is only temporarily stored to work in the chat session, the link, that's also available in Archive, only works 2 hours after the attachment was sent. For the New Chat, attachments are stored for 24 hours.
Variables
If you have configured one or more (custom) chat variables to be used, the variables that are given value in a chat will be shown in the Variables tab for the chat.
Delete chat logs
A user can be given access to delete call recording files and chat logs from Archive. This is done by turning ON property 'Allowed to delete recordings and chat logs from Archive' (Users - Products - Recording) for the user.
To delete a chat log, tick the Select box in the right column for this chat and then select action 'Delete chat log'. You will be asked to confirm.
If a chat where the chat log is deleted by an admin appears in a search result for any user later, we wil show that this chat's chat log was deleted by user x at dd.mm.yyyy
