4. Click the row of the interaction whose sentiment you want to analyze.
5. Click the Transcript tab.
6. Determine the overall customer sentiment experienced by the customer throughout the interaction:
   • Sentiment markers – Markers are placed throughout the interaction overview and its corresponding transcript. The sentiment markers appear in the interaction overview waveform at the exact time that the phrase began and in the transcript at the beginning of the phrase. Every phrase associated with a sentiment analysis marker is tagged with a positive or negative sentiment number. The magnitude of the number indicates the strength of the detected positive or negative sentiment. The positive marker indicates a positive sentiment and the negative marker indicates a negative sentiment. To view details about a specific sentiment marker for a specific phrase, hover over the sentiment marker in the waveform at the top of the screen or in the transcript. A tooltip with the sentiment phrase appears in both locations.
   • Overall customer sentiment – Located on the left side of the interaction overview at the bottom of the External participant section, the overall sentiment represents the customer’s overall sentiment during the interaction. It ranges from -100 to +100. This score weighs all positive and negative markers throughout the interaction, awarding more weight to events that took place toward the end of the interaction, to highlight the customer parting experience with the contact center. This marker can indicate if the customer was satisfied or dissatisfied at the end of their interaction.
   • Sentiment trend – The sentiment trend is determined by comparing the sentiment events found in the first half of the interaction to the sentiment found in the second half of the interaction. For this reason, the sentiment trend can update when more follow-ups occur within the same interaction. There is a minimum number of customer phrases required for the sentiment trend to be calculated, usually around six or more customer phrases are required. 
   • Sentiment trend values – There are five sentiment trend values.
     • Improving – If the change is greater than +55 the sentiment trend is defined as improving.
     • Slightly improving – If the change is between +20 and 55 the sentiment trend is defined as slightly improving.
     • No Change – If the change is between -20 and +20 the sentiment trend is defined as no change.
     • Slightly Declining – If the change is less than -20 the sentiment trend is defined as slightly declining.
     • Declining – If the change is less than -55 the sentiment trend is defined as declining. 

The following image shows the sentiment trend and the overall sentiment. This information appears on the left side of the interaction overview. In this example, the sentiment trend has increased by 80 and the overall sentiment is improving.

When working with an audio interaction you can control whether agents and supervisors can access an entire interaction recording, or only segments of a recording. Applying access control at the segment level enables users to view only the recording content that relates to them.

The following permissions are required when applying access control to an entire recording, or only segments of the recording.

• Recording > Recording Segment > View – Provides agents and supervisors with access to only the segments of a recording that are conditioned to them.
• Recording > Recording > View – Provides agents and supervisors with access to the entire recording.

Permission conditions can be applied to restrict access to specific objects. For example,

• To give agents access to their own interactions and recordings, give the agent the Recording > RecordingSegment > View permission, with the condition User = Current User. This condition ensures that the agent can only listen to segments of the interaction recording in which the specific agent participates.
• To give supervisors access only to their agent’s recordings, limit the supervisor’s access to recording segments within their own division. To limit supervisors to recording segments within their own division, provide the following permission and role.
  1. Grant the Recording > RecordingSegment > View permission to a role.
  2. Grant the same role to a user, with the division specified. For more information, see Grant a role and a division to a user.

This access confines the supervisor to listen only to segments of the recording for which an object (IVR Flow, Queue, Participant) associated with the selected division was involved in that segment.

It is important to remember that to access control at the recording segment level, the permission Recording > Recording > View for media type = call must not be granted to the agents and supervisors. Otherwise, those users can listen to the complete recordings rather than just the appropriate segments.

In addition, when a user that is granted access at the recording segment level loads the Interaction Details view, Genesys Cloud only enables the user to play back the accessible audio segments associated with the specific audio interaction recording. Similarly,

• You can only view and add annotations to recording segments that you have access to.
• In the Transcript tab, you can only view a transcript and detected sentiment markers and topics associated with recording segments that you have access to.
• You can only download a recording segment that you have access to.

Applying recording segment access control does not limit users from accessing information such as interaction metrics, wrap-up data, participant data, timeline details, and audit trail details. For more information, see View an interaction’s Details tab, View an interaction’s timeline, and View an interaction’s audit trail.

Access control of recording segments is only applicable to audio interactions. The Recording > RecordingSegment > View permission does not grant access to any digital recording (email, chat, or message) channels. Access to digital recordings is possible with the Recording > Recording > View permission. This permission grants the user access to the complete digital recording.

To allow agents to view speech and text analytics results, the permission Speech And Text Analytics > Data > View must be granted. Without this permission, agents cannot view any speech and text analytics including voice transcripts, topics, sentiment and agent empathy, categories, and acoustics data.

Access control of snippet recordings is granted through the dedicated Recording > Snippet Recording > View permission. Snippet recordings are not controlled by Recording > Recording > View permission or Recording > Recording Segment > View permission. There is no segment-level access control for snippet recordings. A user has access to either the entire snippet recording or none at all, depending on the snippet recording permission.
