API Name

Queue Time

The time from when an interaction enters a queue until the work is either accepted by an agent or the caller abandons.

Note the difference between this statistic and Time to Answer, which requires an agent to start a conversation. With Queue Time, an agent can accept an interaction before a conversation starts.

Avg Queue Time

For the given date range, the average amount of time that elapsed from when an interaction entered a queue until the work was either accepted by an agent or the caller abandoned.

Average Queue Time is formatted in days, hours, minutes, and seconds (dd:hh:mm:ss).

Queue Time is different than Time to Answer. Queue Time doesn't require that an agent starts a conversation. If an interaction is removed from the queue, but an agent rejects the work and the interaction goes back into the queue, Queue Time is reset while Time to Answer is not.
