Call Quality Scores
Overview
Call quality scores measure how effectively an agent meets defined interaction standards during a customer call. Each quality item is evaluated as pass or fail, and the final score reflects the percentage of criteria successfully achieved.
Example: If 21 out of 22 criteria are met, the quality score is 95.4 percent.
Where to View Quality Scores
For Agents
Agents can view their individual quality scores on the My Quality tab of the Agent Dashboard.

Supervisors can view and edit quality scores from the Quality Management tab of the Manager Dashboard.

Quality entries submitted here are fed into RPM scorecards and are visible to the employee on their personal dashboard.
How Quality Scores Are Calculated
Each call is evaluated against a defined list of quality criteria. Each criterion is scored as pass or fail. The overall quality score is calculated based on how many criteria are successfully achieved during the interaction.
