Team members report: total chats VS exported data

Why are the "Total Chats" numbers higher than in the export file

Question:

Why do I see 500 total chats in the report, but only 300 in the export file?

Reason:

This difference is expected and comes from how chats are counted in the report vs. the export.

When you view the overall Team Members report (without selecting a specific agent), the Total Chats metric counts chats per agent involved.

For example:

  • If 2 agents replied in the same conversation, that chat is counted twice in the report (once for each agent).
  • As a result, the Total Chats number may be higher.

However:

  • When you click into the list or export the data, only unique chats are shown.
  • The export file does not include duplicates, even if multiple agents participated in the same conversation.

In short:

  • Report = counts chats per agent involvement
  • Export = shows unique chats only

That’s why you may see 500 in the report but only 300 in the export.
