Short Abandon Time

Short abandoned calls are interactions that entered a queue and were terminated by the customer before a configured duration. Unlike standard abandoned calls, short abandoned calls typically occur when a caller accidentally enters a queue. The short queueing duration offers the agents no opportunity to serve the interaction.

If you select the Abandon RateAbandoned, Avg Time To AbandonShort Abandoned, or SLA metric within Queues data type, you can specify the short abandon time.
