How to Use Eval Home Search
The Eval Home search function is a powerful tool that allows you to find interactions based on a wide variety of conditions. While search preset buttons give you quick access to important evaluation status information, you may want to configure searches that are relevant to you or to your contact center.
The following article illustrates how to use the search function to find interactions to evaluate and defines the search conditions.
Using the Search Function
Eval Home's search function uses conditions to find interactions with matching information. The search function is accessible in two places: from the Eval Home screen or from the search results screen.
To add a new condition to a search, click add and choose from the available search conditions; to add a block of conditions, click add block. To edit an existing search condition, hover your cursor over the item then click the edit 
icon. To remove an existing search condition, hover your cursor over the item then click the delete 
icon. Additionally, you may select the randomize search results box to have interactions returned in a randomized order.
Searches are generated by clicking the Search 
button. If the search is generated from the Eval Home screen, a search results screen opens up; if the search is generated from a search results screen, the results will open in the same screen. From the Eval Home screen, searches can be generated only if some search condition is added; the default search condition is time range: started - last week.
Searches may be created from or saved to the Saved Searches section of Eval Home screen; searches may be saved in one of the two search folders: My Searches or Public Searches. Note that the creation and editing of subfolders and searches in the Public Searches folder requires the privilege Edit public interaction searches.
Saved Searches folders can be edited by clicking on the following icons:
- Create folder
, which allows you to add a new folder to either My Searches or Public Searches, depending on your privileges - Create Item
, which allows you to create a new search - Delete
, which allows you to delete a search from either the My Searches folder or Public Searches folder, depending on your privileges.
Configuring Blocks of Conditions
When configuring multiple conditions in a search, you have the option to separate them by the operators and or or. If using both types of operators to separate the conditions, depending on the order the conditions are presented in, your search results may return different data than you expected. This is where blocks of conditions may be preferable to use.
For example, say you want to look for a set of named agents with bookmarked interactions. If you configure the search as the following, it will look for all the named agents but only Agent C with bookmarked items:
Agent A
or
Agent B
or
Agent C
and
Bookmarked
or
Agent D
Using a block of conditions, you can put all your agents in the block and have the bookmarked condition outside of the block (i.e., using the and operator applies the outside condition to everything inside the block). This way, the search will find any of the named agents with bookmarked interactions. For example:
Block of conditions
Agent A
or
Agent B
or
Agent C
or
Agent D
and
bookmarked
