Evaluation Areas

Evaluation areas are groups of questions designed to assess specific areas of agent performance. Each evaluation area allows you to define form grading options, such as weight, failure, or exclusion. Evaluation areas must have system-wide unique names and may be configured to be shared across forms. The following is a description of evaluation area properties as well as the default evaluation areas found in the system's default forms.


Edit Area Properties


Properties

The properties for Evaluation Areas are as follows. To edit an area's properties, mouse over the area's title in the form canvas and select the edit Survey-Form-Editor-Edit-Button-53.PNG icon. To accept any edits, select the Save Survey-Form-Editor-Save-Button-53.PNG icon; to cancel edits, select the Cancel Survey-Form-Editor-Cancel-Button-53.PNG icon.

Note that if the evaluation area is shared across forms, any changes made to the area will appear on all forms the area is in.

Name

The name field is where you enter the name of the evaluation area.

Weight

The weight field allows you to add or remove weight (i.e., importance) from an evaluation area. Areas with a higher weight will account for a higher percentage out of the survey's total percentage. The default weight for an area is 1.

Example: In a five-area form with each area having a weight of 1, the percentage for each area is 20%. If one of the areas is adjusted to a weight of 4 and the others remain at 1, the percentage of this area changes to 50% and the remaining areas change to 13% each.

Note that area weight is specific to each area-form combination.

Fails the form

When the Fails the form EFE-Area-Fails-The-Form-Icon-54.PNG option is selected, if the questions in the area are failed, the entire form is considered failed.

Share the area to report across other forms

Selecting the Share the area to report across other forms EFE-Area-Share-Area-54.PNG option makes this area available in Evaluation Areas, Shared, allowing it to be shared across forms and services.

When this option is selected, a pop-out window will prompt you to enter a new area name. Click save and the area will be available in this section of the form editor to drag and drop onto other forms. Note that the system checks the uniqueness of the area name and displays an error if a duplicate is found.

After enabling this option, if you make a change to a shared evaluation area on one form, the change will occur in all forms containing the same evaluation area; you will see a prompt to remind you of this.

This area can be manually excluded from evaluation and scoring

Selecting the N/A option allows a N/A checkbox to become available for this area in the QM Eval Console, allowing it to be manually excluded from evaluation and scoring.

This area is excluded from evaluation and scoring when the following option

This option allows you to configure an exclusion of evaluation/scoring for an area based on what option for a question is either selected or not selected. To configure this setting, click None at the bottom of the area properties box; the following settings will be exposed and must be defined:

  • Area
  • Question
  • Option
  • is selected OR is NOT selected

For example, you might wish to exclude an area from evaluation/scoring if the option "Yes" from the question "Wished the customer a good day?" in the area "Closing the interaction" was NOT selected.

Note: It is not possible to configure this option for shared areas.
