What is the Aloware Dashboard?
Aloware Dashboard is a central place to view your account's current live calls and past communications (calls, messages, voicemails, email, fax).
The Aloware dashboard is live and does not require refreshes.
Communication Metrics
The dashboard displays key metrics for your Contact Center, with a default view of 30 days that can be set by the Admin in the Account menu.
Total Inbound calls - The number inside the donut chart represents the total number of inbound calls received during this period.
Answered - All the inbound calls that have come to your Lines and have been picked up by your agents.
Missed - These calls are categorized as unanswered. They occur when Aloware attempts to connect a call to an agent or a ring group, but no one answers the call. If you have a queue set up for the calls, these are calls where the callers hang up while waiting in the queue.
Abandoned - These are calls in which the caller hangs up before reaching the queue or before Aloware connects the call, typically when the caller doesn't press a digit in the IVR or hangs up while hearing the greeting.
Voicemail - Lines, Ring Groups, and Agents can create a personalized voicemail message for incoming calls when they are unable to answer.
Below 30 seconds - Number of completed calls with a short duration of 30 seconds or less.
Above 2 minutes - Number of completed calls that are above 2 minutes in talk time.
Queue Hold Time - The average hold time a caller waits in the queue before being connected. This metric is backward-looking and only counts phone calls that have passed through a queue. If you don't have any queues set up, this metric might display 0.
Average Talk Time - Measures average talk time of connected inbound calls in this date range.
Total Outbound calls - This displays the total number of your team's outbound calls. The chart is broken down by the outcome of these calls.
Connected - Number of calls when the agent successfully connected to the other party. Note that this includes the IVRs and Voicemail prompts your agent might run into.
Not Connected - Counts calls where the agent (or Aloware automation) hangs up while the call is still ringing without reaching a contact person.
Cold & Warm Transfers - In many sales organizations, the purpose of a team of agents is to get a prospect on the phone and transfer the call to another department. This KPI measures that performance.
Below 30 seconds - This important metric counts calls that are connected (we received a CONNECT signal), but the talk time is less than 30 seconds, usually indicative of a lack of interest.
Above 2 and 5 minutes - These two KPIs measure the number of calls with talk times above a certain number. Currently, we look for calls above 2 mins and 5 mins. These forms are "qualified calls."
Average Talk Time - measures the average talk time of connected outbound calls in this date range.
Note - Aloware measures connected calls on VoIP signals received from carriers, not call dispositions set by agents. Voicemails are considered connected calls. For call disposition reports, refer to the Reports tab.
Total Inbound SMS - Counts the number of outbound texts (SMS and MMS) that your agents, Aloware automation, or broadcasting have sent. Top Left: All Communications

Contact Engaged - Aloware identifies contacts added manually through imports, API, or CRM sync and marks them as engaged if agents have interacted with them or if they have made calls. This helps sales organizations track their lead response.

Activity Graph
The real-time activity graph in Aloware shows the call and SMS traffic over the past month or a selected date period. By default, Aloware organizes the metrics by Lines or campaigns, allowing the Admin to easily see which team is engaging more with contacts.
To modify the timeframe in the graph, use the date selector at the top of the page. If the Activity Graph is not visible, click "Show Graph" in the Communication Logs.

Different Communication Statuses
Status | Description |
| This status includes all communications that were connected and completed successfully.
|
| This status represents all calls that were not answered and were missed by the intended user or agent.
|
| Calls that were initiated but not answered fall under this status. This happens when an outbound call is made, but the contact does not answer. It can occur if the contact is busy, rejects the call, or if there are issues with the carrier reaching the contact.
|
| This status includes calls that were connected to a voicemail system.
|
| The call is currently connected, and the conversation is ongoing.
|
| The call failed to connect or the contact could not be reached. The following statuses fall under the Failed category:
|
| The call is currently in a queue and waiting to be connected. |
| Calls that are temporarily put on hold for later retrieval or transfer. |
| This status includes all calls that were terminated without being connected to any agents or users.
|
Callback Pending | Calls where a contact has requested a callback, and the system is in the process of initiating the callback. The status remains pending until the callback is completed. |

Types of User Status in Aloware
Manual-Defined Statuses - Agents can set their status manually, with the profile color corresponding to their status. The available Manual-Defined Statuses are:
Offline - When agents log out, their status automatically becomes Offline, displayed with a grey color indicator. While offline, agents cannot receive inbound calls but can make outbound calls.
Available - The default status where agents can receive inbound and make outbound calls. It is indicated by a green color indicator.
Busy - Agents choose Busy when they don't want to be interrupted during important tasks. In this status, agents cannot receive inbound calls, and the status displays a red color indicator.
On Break - Agents select On Break when temporarily away from their desks, indicated by a orange color indicator. This status informs the system that agents are unavailable to receive inbound calls, such as during lunch breaks.
System-Defined Statuses - Some statuses are automatically assigned based on your call activities. These system-defined statuses, like On-Call, Ringing, and Wrap-Up, update dynamically during your interactions with calls.
On-Call - When agents are actively engaged in a call, their status becomes On-Call. Agents cannot receive inbound calls during this time, and the indicator color is light blue.
Ringing - When agents receive an inbound call, Aloware Talk sets their status to Ringing. The phone rings, but the call is not yet connected. The indicator color is light green.
Wrap-Up - After completing a call, agents enter the Wrap-Up status. They can perform post-call tasks, such as note-taking or updating customer information. During Wrap-Up, agents cannot receive inbound calls, and the indicator color is yellow.
