How to read the Communication Disposition Report

You will interpret disposition counts by channel on the Communication Disposition Report so you can compare outcomes across organizations, campaigns, and agents.

Before you start

Before you read the Communication Disposition Report:

  • Open the report from Reports → Communication Disposition (under Account Specific Reports or General Reports, not Legacy Reports)

  • Set the Date Range and any filters to match the period and scope you are reviewing

What this report shows

The Communication Disposition Report shows how often each disposition was saved during your selected filters, broken out by phone, email, and SMS. It helps managers review disposition mix, compare stores or campaigns, and prepare coaching conversations without opening separate communication logs.

How to read it

Use these steps to read the Communication Disposition Report:

  1. Set Date Range and filters to the scope you care about — for example last week for a coaching huddle or one Organization for a store review.

  2. Choose Breakdown Display so the grouping columns match your question — Organization + Campaign for campaign reviews, Organization + Agent or Account + Agent for agent reviews.

  3. Scan All Channels (Total) and Count % of Total to see which dispositions account for the most activity in the filtered scope.

  4. Compare Phone, Email, and SMS Message on the same row to see whether an outcome is driven by one channel or spread across channels.

  5. When a metric label is unclear, open Reports → Glossary / Formulas and look up disposition terms such as Phone count, All Channels, or Count % of Total.

Limitations

The Communication Disposition Report has these verified limits:

  • Legacy Reports → Communication Disposition is a separate report with Total, Phone, Email, and SMS Message columns (without Count % of Total) and clickable counts that open a log view. Prefer the newer Communication Disposition card for the dashboard metrics in this article.

  • On the newer dashboard, counts are not clickable to underlying communications yet.

  • You should only see data for the account and access your login allows.

Common questions

What does this report measure?

The Communication Disposition Report measures how often each disposition is saved, broken out by Phone, Email, SMS Message, All Channels (Total), and Count % of Total for your selected filters.

What is the difference between All Channels (Total) and Count % of Total?

All Channels (Total) is the raw count of times a disposition was saved across phone, email, and SMS. Count % of Total is that disposition’s percentage share of all saved dispositions in the filtered scope.

Where do I look up metric definitions?

Open Reports → Glossary / Formulas from the Reports page for plain-language definitions of disposition report terms.

Why do I not see Organization, Campaign, or Agent on every row?

Those columns appear only when your Breakdown Display grouping includes them. Change Breakdown Display if you need a different grouping.
