Article summary

This guide outlines the three skills objects that are commonly utilized in Natterbox reporting. This is only applicable if you use Skills-Based Routing. Skills need to be created, assigned to users and then requested in the Routing Policy .

These are the standard report type that exist using this object:

  1. Skills

  2. Call Reporting with Requested Skills and Skill

If you need other combinations of objects, you could create a ‘Custom Report Type’ or a ‘Joined Report’.
