Analytics and Power BI

A dashboard is a view. Call Analytics, CQD, and contact-center analytics are different grains of truth.

Call Analytics is one call. CQD is the estate. Contact-center analytics are the queue: service level, abandon, handle time. Power BI can sit on CQD data, and contact-center implementations often surface supervisor numbers in Power BI. The report inherits a bad subnet map and a bad abandon rule.

Troubleshooting: if leadership sees a red headquarters, check the VPN labeling before you buy circuits. If two service-level numbers disagree, write down each abandon rule. Access to CQD is an admin permission. Do not share a password to get around that.

Match the tool to the question. Power BI does not fix a bad CQD building map.

Worked example

Power BI comes after the grain is right. I will not show a VPN pool as headquarters.

  1. Question One call, a building, or a queue
  2. Tool Analytics, CQD, or the contact center
  3. Map Subnets
  4. Publish Power BI last

If it fails: A polished report accuses the wrong building.

Glossary

  • Convenience recording A user starts a recording of a call, meeting, or event. Policy can allow it. The user can stop it. Storage follows meeting rules. Config: Set the meeting, calling, and events policies on purpose. Fault: A regulated desk is told to ‘just hit record.’
  • Compliance recording A third-party recorder is invited by policy into new calls, meetings, and events. The user does not start it and participant consent is not the control. Notification is enforced. Config: Create the application instance, enable the policy, grant it, and test a new call. Fault: The policy is granted and nothing records because the bot instance was never created.
  • Compliance recording application The bot instance of a certified recorder. The policy references it. Without it, granting the policy does not record. Config: New-CsTeamsComplianceRecordingApplication attaches it to the policy. Fault: Recording works in the vendor’s cloud and never joins the Teams call.
  • Existing calls are unaffected When you grant a compliance recording policy, calls and meetings already up are not swept in. Test with a new call. Config: Place a fresh call after the grant and confirm the bot joined. Fault: The pilot says recording failed because they watched an old meeting.

Sister technologies

Around the call: compliance recording, workforce management, emergency location, analytics, CRM screen pop, and an agent with a human escape. Each one has its own failure.

Config and troubleshooting

A polished report accuses the wrong building.

Cross-platform bridges

CUCM

Cisco CUBE is one of the SBC families named in this lab’s certification lesson. A certified release can be the Direct Routing SBC between Unified CM and Teams.

The tenant still needs a verified domain on the SBC FQDN, and the user still needs Teams Phone. The studio translator does not open a live AXL session. Confirm the current certified release before you build.

Webex

Teams Phone and Webex Calling are separate clouds. This lab does not describe a feature that registers a Webex Calling user into a Teams tenant.

A number move is usually a carrier port, a certified SBC, or a meetings interop product. Confirm before relying.

UCCE

Unified CCE stays the ACD until you migrate it. Microsoft’s contact-center articles name Connect, Extend, and Unify. They do not name a UCCE connector in the notes this lab cites.

Voice into Teams is still Direct Routing or Operator Connect. The routing script stays on the contact-center product you bought. Confirm the vendor’s current model. Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-contact-center.

Future hooks

Copilot Studio, Azure Communication Services, and Graph are later tracks in this lab. Treat any uncited limit as confirm before relying.
