Introducing MCS on Report Center

MCS introduction

    Introduction 

    MCS on Report Center (RC) aims to consolidate many analytics and reporting use cases from the MCS Toolkit into a single framework. We aim to deliver RC with consolidated MCS use cases that our brands utilize. 

    RC will include concepts and data points of Meaningful Conversation Score (MCS). MCS is an automatic, unbiased method to measure the relationship between consumers and brands. MCS is a reliable way to accurately and automatically measure the quality of a conversation.


    Goals

    1. Utilize our new conversation and segment level architecture to expose aggregated metrics. (Segment: When an agent is assigned/transferred in a conversation, it constitutes a new segment in a conversation)
    2. Agent/Skill/Group level aggregation utilized in RC and provides access to segment level metrics.
    3. Expose via Transcript Viewer an easy and efficient access to conversation messages, MCS data, and other metrics.

    Metrics for the upcoming release are listed below.                                 *** more metrics are added every week

    Features

    MCS metrics and feature release are as follows:

    Filter: 

    The first release of MCS Toolkit on report Center will have the functionality to filter based on the below list. The list below is not an exhaustive list and may increase over time with releases.

    2. Date range
    3. Channel, User Type, Conversation Status, Conversation End Reason, Transfer Reason

    Transcript Viewer:

    The Transcript Viewer features as follows. 

    1. Conversation level metrics and fields included. 
    2. Transfer events, agent messages, and consumer messages included.
    3. Assignment events, MCS score, Customer info, etc.

    Export Functionality: 

    1. Export of conversation data included. Users can utilize the conversation list screen to export data in a csv. ****Check Limitations.

    FAQs

    How can I gain access to Report Center?

    You should be able to gain access to the reporting system via your navigation bar as shown in the UI mockup above. To enable Report Center for your account, you would have to request access and enable an AC feature.
