Important

This feature is intended to help customer service managers or supervisors enhance their team’s performance and improve customer satisfaction. This feature is not intended for use in making, and should not be used to make, decisions that affect the employment of an employee or group of employees, including compensation, rewards, seniority, or other rights or entitlements. Customers are solely responsible for using Dynamics 365, this feature, and any associated feature or service in compliance with all applicable laws, including laws relating to accessing individual employee analytics and monitoring, recording, and storing communications with end users. This also includes adequately notifying end users that their communications with agents may be monitored, recorded, or stored and, as required by applicable laws, obtaining consent from end users before using the feature with them. Customers are also encouraged to have a mechanism in place to inform their agents that their communications with end users may be monitored, recorded, or stored.

Supervisors have a dual responsibility with respect to agents and customers. They monitor and manage agents and make sure they remain highly productive. At the same time, they help provide a superior experience for customers. To help supervisors carry out this dual responsibility, the insights consist of intraday health tracking of agent productivity and performance.

You can customize intraday insights if you use Power BI or Power BI Premium licenses. You can't customize insights in a pre-configured Power BI workspace that doesn't have a Power BI license.

Note

The pre-configured Power BI workspace version of intraday insights is only available for organizations that are provisioned in a public cloud and isn't available in Government Community Cloud (GCC) and Unified Service Desk.

As an administrator, you must configure intraday insights before supervisors can use it. To configure intraday insights for your organization, follow the scenario that is applicable for your environment.
