Content Search view
AI-generated summary
Genesys Cloud Content Search view enables users to search interactions containing conversation transcripts between external customers and internal participants based on specified filter criteria, requiring appropriate licensing and specific permissions including Routing > Transcription Settings – View, Speech and Text Analytics > Data – View, and at least one analytics or recording permission. Users access Content Search through Menu > Analytics > Analytics Workspace and can search for specific words included or excluded in transcripts while filtering by additional interaction details such as Media Type, Transcript Dialect (supporting 32+ languages), Detected Topic, Sentiment Score, Empathy Score, Sentiment Trend, Participant type, Transcript Duration, Detected Category, Program, and Sensitive Data. The view displays one row per unique conversation ID with multiple transcripts appearing as nested subrows, and export files include three additional columns: Interval Start, Interval End, and Interval Complete. Speech and Text Analytics metrics for asynchronous interactions require up to 72 hours to update in reporting aggregate views, and digital transcripts may be tagged as UNKNOWN language depending on configuration.
Users can access detailed interaction information by clicking an interaction to open its detail page in a new tab, with support for up to 20 simultaneous tabs; opening a 21st tab replaces an existing tab. The interaction detail view displays a truncated Interaction ID with a tooltip showing the full ID when hovering, and the More menu provides options to reload, duplicate, close individual tabs, or close all tabs. Users can rename interaction detail view tabs by clicking Save View and entering a view name, and can copy an interaction's Conversation ID to the clipboard for filtering or sharing purposes. Genesys Cloud enables protecting interaction recordings from deletion for legal hold compliance by selecting interactions and clicking Protect Recordings, with the Release Recordings option reversing this protection.
The Content Search view supports comprehensive data management capabilities including saving custom filter and column configurations as saved views, exporting historical records older than one day (limited to 5,000 records per export), and navigating paginated results using directional controls. The view requires manual refresh to display new interactions and does not update automatically. Customization options include showing or hiding specific columns, resizing columns through drag-and-drop at column boundaries, horizontal scrolling for large datasets, and reordering columns through an Edit columns interface. Enhanced accessibility features include keyboard navigation support, screen reader compatibility, improved focus management, and compliance enhancements for more effective table interaction. Users can sort data by Date, Transcript Date, Sentiment Score, Sentiment Trend, Initial Direction, and Conversation Duration in ascending or descending order.
Date filtering supports custom ranges with a maximum 31-day length and includes presets such as Today, Yesterday, This Week, Last Week, Previous 7 Days, This Month, Last Month, Previous 30 Days, Day, Week, Month, and Month by Week. Performance may be slower when filtering data beyond six quarters (558 days). Word and phrase searches in transcripts are available for up to 90 days, while topic and sentiment score searches extend to 1.5 years. The Participant filter distinguishes between Internal participants (IVR, ACD, Agent, conference, voicemail) and External participants (customers), and Sentiment Score and Empathy Score filtering both range from -100 to +100. Additional filters include User, Queue, IVR Flows, Division, Initial Direction, ANI, DNIS, From/To (requiring full email addresses with data available from June 7, 2022 onward), Total Handle time, Conversation Duration, Conversation ID, Transcript ID, External Tag, and Wrap-up codes.
Genesys Cloud supports acoustic metrics filtering by Total Customer Talk time and percentage-based filtering for customer talk percentage, agent talk percentage, overtalk percentage, silence percentage, ACD percentage, IVR percentage, and hold/music percentage (all 0-100%), as well as overtalk instances (0-2 occurrences). The platform enables reconnection to closed email interactions through the Content Search view by selecting an interaction, accessing the More menu, and clicking the Reconnect conversation icon, which routes the interaction to the agent's conversation roster for reply capability. Reconnection is unavailable for expired conversations (inactive 30+ days, expired threading timelines, or organizations with disabled threading) or conversations in live or connected states. These comprehensive filtering and customization capabilities enable administrators and supervisors to search and analyze interactions based on specific quality and performance criteria across multiple dimensions.

The export file contains three extra columns: Interval Start, Interval End, and Interval Complete.
Column
Description
Interval Start
The start of the selected interval.
For example, an interval of January 1–January 31 has the interval start of January 1.
Interval End
The end of the selected interval.
For example, an interval of January 1–January 31 has the interval end of January 31.
Interval Complete
Boolean true or false value. The Boolean value is true if the entire interval is in the past. The Boolean value is false if the current date is within the intervals.
For example:
If today’s date is February 15, the Boolean value is true for the interval of January 1–January 31.
If today’s date is February 15, and the interval is February 1–February 28, the Boolean value is false.
Set a default time zone in the workspace
You can set the default time zone in the analytics workspace before viewing any analytics view.
To set the default time zone in the workspace, follow these steps:
Click Performance > Workspace.
Click Menu > Analytics > Analytics Workspace.
On the left side, from the Time zone drop-down menu, select the required time zone as the default time zone for the analytics workspace.
The Content Search view displays interactions that contain a transcript of the conversation between external (customer) and internal (IVR, ACD, agent, conference, or voicemail) participants based on the filter criteria. Use this view to search for interactions that contain specific words that are included or not included in a transcript. You can also use this view to filter interactions with transcripts by more interaction details. You can see only one row for each unique conversation ID.
If multiple transcripts are mapped to a single conversation ID, the related transcript details nest under the main row as subrows.
Note:
Depending on your configuration, digital transcripts are tagged with UNKNOWN as the language. If you do not see the expected search results and you use a specific transcript language, set the transcript to UNKNOWN and retry the search.
A conversation and a transcript are not on a 1:1 correlation. A conversation can have multiple transcripts within it. For example, for digital conversations, each message is generated as a separate transcript.
For the FedRAMP region, the content search uses the dialect the user has selected in organization settings as the default dialect for search.
For async interactions, such as email and messaging, it takes up to 72 hours for Speech and Text Analytics metrics, such as topics and sentiment, to update in the reporting aggregate views.
The number of interactions in the Content Search view is greater than the number of interactions in the Topic Trends Summary view. This difference occurs because the number of interactions in the Topic Trends Summary view equals the number of completed interactions, and the number of topics in the Content Search view equals the number of interactions that started during the selected date range. Also, the data shown in the Topic Trends Summary view is based on the number of interactions, and the data shown in the Content Search view is based on the number of transcripts.
To view more information about an interaction, click the interaction and view the interaction detail page in a new tab or select the required interaction and click View Interactions. You can jump between the interaction tabs to see the interaction list view and the interaction detail view. The title of the interaction detail view tab shows the truncated Interaction ID and has a fixed width as all other tabs in the workspace. When you hover over the tab name, a tooltip with the untruncated Interaction ID appears.
Notes:
When switching between the interaction detail view tabs, the recording playback stops working.
When switching between the interaction detail view tabs, the following features on the interaction detail view tab continue to work as expected:
Monitor/coach/ a live call
Interaction download
Quality management/evaluations
Schedule Coaching
