└── Performance StatisticsStep 3: Configure Evaluation Rules
Evaluation rules define what agents should do during calls. The AI evaluates each call against these rules and provides a score.
Rule Types
Voice QA supports two scoring types:
Fixed Scoring (0-10 Scale)
Every rule is evaluated on a consistent 0-10 point scale.
| Rule | Score | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Used proper greeting | 8 | 10 |
| Verified customer identity | 10 | 10 |
| Resolved the issue | 7 | 10 |
Best for: Consistent evaluation where all rules have equal importance.
Weighted Scoring (Custom Scale)
Each rule has its own scale based on importance:
| Rule | Scale | Importance |
|---|---|---|
| Used proper greeting | 0-3 | Medium |
| Verified customer identity | 0-5 | High |
| Resolved the issue | 0-10 | Critical |
Best for: Nuanced evaluation where some behaviors matter more than others.
Creating Rules
- Open your department
- Navigate to Rules section
- Click Add Rule
- Configure:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Text | What the rule evaluates (e.g., "Agent used customer's name") |
| Weight/Max Score | Maximum points for this rule |
| Call Type | Incoming, Outgoing, or Both |
| Category | Which category this rule belongs to |
Example Rules
Customer Support Rules:
| Rule | Scale | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Agent greeted customer professionally | 0-3 | Incoming |
| Agent verified customer identity | 0-5 | Both |
| Agent listened actively to the issue | 0-5 | Both |
| Agent provided accurate information | 0-5 | Both |
| Agent resolved the issue or escalated properly | 0-10 | Both |
| Agent thanked customer at end of call | 0-2 | Both |
Step 4: Set Up Categories
Categories group related rules and define when they should be applied.
How Categories Work
- General Category — Always applied to every call (default)
- Specific Categories — Applied only when relevant to the call type
The AI automatically matches the call to relevant categories based on the conversation content.
Creating Categories
- In your department, go to Rules → Categories
- Click Add Category
- Configure:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Category identifier (e.g., "Sales Calls") |
| Description | When this category applies — be specific! |
- Add rules to this category
Example Categories
| Category | Description | Applied When |
|---|---|---|
| General | Core quality standards | Every call |
| Sales | Sales-specific behaviors | Customer shows purchase interest |
| Technical Support | Technical issue handling | Customer reports technical problem |
| Complaints | Complaint handling | Customer expresses dissatisfaction |
| Billing | Payment and account issues | Financial topics discussed |
Category Descriptions
Write clear descriptions that help the AI understand when to apply each category:
✅ Good: "Apply when the customer is inquiring about purchasing a product or service, comparing options, or asking about pricing."
❌ Bad: "Sales calls"
Step 5: Add Staff
Staff members are the agents whose calls are evaluated.
Adding Staff
- Navigate to Voice QA → Staff
- Click Add Agent
- Fill in:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| First Name | Yes | Agent's first name |
| Last Name | Yes | Agent's last name |
| No | For notifications | |
| Department(s) | Yes | Assign to one or more departments |
| Alias | No | Display name |
- Click Add
Staff Performance Tracking
Each agent's profile shows:
- Overall average score
- Score trend over time
- Category breakdown
- Rule-by-rule performance
- Recent evaluations
Step 6: Manage Clients
Clients are customers whose calls are tracked over time.
Adding Clients
- Navigate to Voice QA → Clients
- Click Add Client
- Fill in:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Customer or company name |
| Type | Individual or Company |
| Phone Numbers | All associated numbers with labels |
Phone Number Matching
When a call comes from a known phone number:
- Voice QA automatically links it to the client
- Interaction history is updated
- You can track quality trends per client
Understanding Evaluations
When a call is evaluated, Voice QA produces comprehensive results.
Evaluation Process
- Transcription — Voice converted to searchable text
- Category Matching — AI identifies relevant categories
- Rule Evaluation — Each applicable rule is scored
- Score Calculation — Total percentage computed
- Insights Generated — Summary, intent, and recommendations
What Categories Are Applied
For each call, the AI applies:
- General Category — Always included
- Matching Specific Categories — Based on conversation content
Example: A sales inquiry about a billing issue would trigger:
- General ✓
- Sales ✓
- Billing ✓
Scoring System Explained
How Scores Are Calculated
The final score is a percentage representing points earned vs. points possible.
Score = (Points Earned / Points Possible) × 100%Fixed Scoring Example
All rules on 0-10 scale:
| Rule | Score | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Greeting | 9 | 10 |
| Identity Verification | 10 | 10 |
| Issue Resolution | 8 | 10 |
| Closing | 7 | 10 |
| Total | 34 | 40 |
Final Score: 85% (34/40)
Weighted Scoring Example
Rules with custom scales:
| Rule | Score | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Greeting (medium) | 2 | 3 |
| Identity Verification (high) | 5 | 5 |
| Issue Resolution (critical) | 8 | 10 |
| Closing (low) | 2 | 2 |
| Total | 17 | 20 |
Final Score: 85% (17/20)
Score Interpretation
| Score | Level | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 90-100% | Excellent | Consistently follows best practices |
| 75-89% | Good | Minor areas for improvement |
| 60-74% | Average | Several areas need attention |
| Below 60% | Needs Improvement | Requires coaching |
