The total time that a customer was put on hold during the life of an interaction. For example, if an agent puts a customer on hold three times while speaking to them for 20 seconds, 40 seconds, and 35 seconds, then the hold time is 95 seconds (20+40+35).

For the given date range, the average length of time that customers were on hold during in interactions. Interactions where the customer wasn't placed on hold are included. The expression calculates the ratio of the sum of all Customer Hold Time to the total number of interactions:

(Sum of all Customer Hold Time/Total Number of Interactions)

Average Customer Hold Time is formatted in days, hours, minutes, and seconds (d:hh:mm:ss).

For example, consider the following interactions:

Interaction A: The customer is placed on hold twice: the first time for 60 seconds and the second time for 90 seconds.

Interaction B: The customer is placed on hold twice: for the first time for 60 seconds and the second time for 30 seconds.

Interaction C: The customer isn't placed on hold.

In this example, the Average Customer Hold Time is 80 seconds or 1 minute 20 seconds (0:00:01:20):

(60+90+60+30)/3
