RingCX Enhanced SLA configuration
Not all Contact Centers operate on the 80/20 rule, being able to set both the SLA seconds and the percentage in the Call Queue would enhance and also simplify SLA through the system.
Today Queue setting lets you adjust the time, then in dashboards you need to adjust the percent and then of course reports is not configurable for %, simply uses 80%.
Enhancement would be to add the SLA % setting in each Call Queue

Proposed Feature & WorkflowExpand the Metric Settings tab in Queue Administration to include a target SLA percentage field, and surface this value across RingCX Analytics and Real-Time Dashboards.A. Admin UI ModificationsNavigate to: Admin > Routing > Voice Queues & Skills > [Queue Name] > General > Metric SettingsCurrent Fields:Short Abandon Time (seconds)SLA Time (seconds)Short Call Time (seconds)Long Call Time (seconds)Proposed Additions:Target SLA Percentage (%): [Integer Input, range 1–100, Default: 80]Field Description: Set the operational target percentage of calls to be answered within the SLA Time.B. Analytics & Reporting EnhancementsNew Standard Metrics:Target SLA %: Inherited directly from Queue Metric Settings.SLA Variance: Standard calculation defined as [Actual SLA %] - [Target SLA %].Real-Time Widget Integration:Allow Real-Time Queue Summary widgets to evaluate status using the queue's configured Target SLA %.Support dynamic conditional formatting (e.g., display Green when Actual SLA % $\ge$ Target SLA %, Amber when within 5%, Red when breached).

Business Problem Statement
RingCX currently allows administrators to configure the target SLA Time (seconds) per queue, but lacks an administrative configuration field for Target SLA Percentage.Without a target percentage setting:
Supervisors cannot see at a glance whether a queue is meeting its operational goal.
Analytics widgets require manual, static threshold configurations rather than inheriting queue-level SLAs.
Different queues with different performance goals (e.g., VIP Tier at 90/10 vs. Standard Tier at 80/30) cannot be evaluated dynamically against their respective target baselines.
-
The Current RingCX LimitationIn RingCX queue metric management:Admins set SLA Time (e.g., 30 seconds).The system tracks calls as SLA Pass (answered $\le 30$s) or SLA Fail (answered $> 30$s).Analytics calculates actual performance:$$\text{Actual SLA \%} = \left(\frac{\text{SLA Pass}}{\text{Total Answered} + \text{Total Abandoned}}\right) \times 100$$The Gap: Because there is no Target SLA % field in the administration settings:Reports show what happened, but cannot evaluate whether that performance passed or failed organizational expectations.Supervisor real-time widgets cannot dynamically highlight queues that are below target unless arbitrary static percentage thresholds are manually set widget-by-widget in Analytics.Historical reporting lacks variance metrics to highlight underperforming queues across varying business SLAs (e.g., 90/10 VIP queues vs. 70/60 general queues).
-
Executive Summary-In RingCX, queue configuration under Routing > Voice Queues > Metric Settings allows administrators to define SLA Time (the time-to-answer threshold in seconds). However, it lacks a dedicated field to configure the Target SLA Percentage (the goal percentage of interactions that should meet that threshold, such as 80% or 90%).While RingCX measures actual answered interactions against the time threshold to produce an achieved SLA percentage (e.g., "72% answered within 30 seconds"), the platform lacks awareness of the organization's target goal. As a result, managers cannot perform target-versus-actual variance reporting, configure automated breach alerts, or utilize dynamic target-based visual indicators without manual workarounds.Industry Standard Requirements vs. Current RingCX Capability1. The Industry Standard ModelAcross contact center operations, a Service Level Agreement (SLA) is defined by two linked parameters:$$\text{SLA Definition} = (\text{Target SLA Percentage } [P_{\text{target}}], \text{Target Time threshold } [T_{\text{target}}])$$Time Threshold ($T_{\text{target}}$): The maximum queue wait time (e.g., 20 seconds, 60 seconds).Target Percentage ($P_{\text{target}}$): The operational commitment goal (e.g., 80%, 90%).In standard CCaaS reporting and management tools (e.g., Genesys Cloud, NICE CXone, Five9), both values are configured per queue. This dual-configuration enables:Target vs. Actual Variance Tracking: Calculating operational adherence:$$\text{SLA Variance} = \text{Actual SLA \%} - \text{Target SLA \%}$$Dynamic Supervisor Dashboards: Automatically coloring queue widgets Green (at or above target percentage), Amber (within warning tolerance), or Red (breaching target percentage).Automated Real-Time Alerts: Triggering supervisor notifications or agent re-routing when real-time SLA falls below the configured target percentage.
