Action

  • Action by: This filter combines a specific action with a specific user. For example, use this filter to include or exclude all mentions that were replied to by a specific user.
  • Handle time: Slider that filters on the handle time for mentions broken out per user.
    Qtip: If multiple users have been working on the same mention, Qualtrics will show the overall handle time on the mention, but will split the handle time by each user when filtering.

  • Last action age: Filter on mentions on which an action was performed between the selected time range. Enter values in minutes.

  • Mention age (during BH): Shows all mentions between the selected time range, taking business hours into account. Enter values in minutes.
