How Are Average Wait Time and Expected Wait Time Calculated in Oracle Live Chat?

We are configuring Oracle Live Chat and have a question regarding the queue metrics displayed to customers.

When a customer is waiting in the queue, the chat widget shows:

For example:

  • Position in queue: 1
  • Average wait time: 00:00
  • Expected wait time: 00:00

I'm trying to understand:

  1. How are the Average Wait Time and Expected Wait Time values calculated?
  2. Are these values automatically derived from historical agent performance and queue data, or do they require configuration?
  3. Is there any setup or configuration required to enable accurate wait time estimates?
  4. Can these values be customized or manually configured?
  5. Are there any prerequisites (routing, agent presence, service request settings, etc.) that impact these calculations?

Howdy, Stranger!
