Legacy - Conversations tab
Use the Conversations tab to view the list of Virtual Agent conversations and details of each conversation that occurred during the selected date range.
Conversational Analytics dashboard is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be supported until deprecation but will no longer be available for installation. A new Conversational Analytics dashboard in Platform Analytics experience, which meets the compliance requirements of Government Community Cloud (GCC), and thus FedRAMP authorized, is available. See Conversational Analytics dashboard in Platform Analytics experience.
For details on the deprecation process, see the Deprecation Process [KB0867184] article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.
If you are an existing user of this dashboard and want to migrate analytics data to the new dashboard, see Migrate data to Conversational Analytics dashboard in Platform Analytics experience [KB1651556].
All conversations from the Conversation table [sys_cs_conversation], that run on the Virtual Agent Designer are listed on the Conversations page, except for notifications, open (ongoing) conversations, and previews.
Virtual Agent conversations data is retained for a period of 90 days. The analytics data extracted from the conversations is retained for a period of two years.
To access the Conversations tab, you must have the Chat Analytics Viewer (chat_analytics_viewer) role. Conversation dates and times are in UTC.
