Before you can start to install the Power BI template, follow the steps below to create SQL views on the SQL CDR Database. Installing the template itself is done in Microsoft Power BI Desktop.

Create SQL views for Power BI

  1. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) Learn More - Microsoft
  2. Connect to Server / Instance where the UCC A Unified Contact Center, or UCC, is a queue of interactions (voice, email, IM, etc.) that are handled by Agents. Each UCC has its own settings, IVR menus and Agents. Agents can belong to one or several UCCs and can have multiple skills (competencies). A UCC can be visualized as a contact center “micro service”. Customers can utilize one UCC (e.g. a global helpdesk), a few UCC’s (e.g. for each department or regional office) or hundreds of UCC’s (e.g. for each bed at a hospital). They are interconnected and can all be managed from one central location. Database is located.
  3. Navigate to the UCC Database
  4. Right Click Database
  5. Select New Query
  6. Paste the SQL code from the Power BI Template package, the SQL queries (.sql file) can be found in the folder where the template itself is (.pbit file).
  7. Execute the Query (F5)
