Procedure
-
Navigate to .
If you continue from the Set Objectives page, you are on the Scope your analysis page.
-
Select Edit for the project that you want to edit.
-
Select the edit button for the Scope your analysis section.
-
Select Metrics from the left bar.
Note: The touchpoint and idle time metrics are not available in the Classic view.

There are two types of metrics:
- Touchpoint metrics: Touchpoint metrics are used to study specific interactions within a process to identify areas of high interaction, particularly spotlighting inefficient, redundant,
or excessive activities. By pinpointing these areas, it enables process optimization through automation or other improvements, enhancing performance and reducing operational costs.
- Idle time metrics: Idle time metrics help track the duration when cases are awaiting assignment to agents but are expected to progress by the provider. These metrics identify delays
during unassigned periods, highlighting inefficiencies where cases are stagnant in the process. By analyzing idle time, teams can improve task allocation and resource management, reducing delays and ensuring
smooth case flow, ultimately boosting productivity and compliance with service level agreements.
Note: If a field that is selected in the promin.blocked.tables list is selected in the Process details page,
then the Idle time metrics is not available.
-
Toggle each of the metrics to enable them.
The fields that you have set for these metrics in the process configuration for the parent table, are include in the project.
Note: These two metrics are not available without configuring in process
configuration.
