An embodiment may involve persistent storage containing a representation of an escalation path including an ordering of groups, wherein the groups each represent agents and include maximum numbers of contact attempts, maximum times to wait after the contact attempts, and channels for each of the contact attempts. The embodiment may also involve processors configured to: (i) receive an indication that an event has occurred; (ii) perform attempts to contact the agents in the groups; (iii) receive a request for live tracking of the attempts; (iv) generate a representation of a graphical user interface that identifies: a current agent for which contact is being attempted, a number of attempts made to contact the current agent, and a time at which either a subsequent attempt or an escalation to a subsequent group is to be made; and (v) provide the representation of the graphical user interface.

Escalation tracking and analytics system

Scheduling information for each of plural shifts of an on-call schedule is set based on user operation at design-time within an on-call scheduling user interface. The scheduling information includes an escalation path graphical outline having at least one escalation step element and a corresponding wait duration element. An escalation path associated with a current one of the plural shifts of the on-call schedule at run-time is executed in response to a predetermined condition being satisfied. An on-call user associated with the current one of the shifts is notified based on the escalation path. The escalation path is configured to make a first notification attempt to notify the on-call user based on a first attempt contact preference selected by the on-call user, and make a second notification attempt to notify the on-call user based on a second attempt contact preference selected by the on-call user.

On-call scheduling and enhanced contact preference management

An incident management interface enables an operator to track progress in resolving an incident and includes a first, second, and third selectable feature. The first selectable feature presents a summary of at least effects of the incident and resolution activity, the second selectable feature enables the operator to create, edit, and administer one or more communication tasks associated with one or more client devices, and the third selectable feature enables the operator to manage one or more conference calls with a variety of agents. The first selectable feature, the second selectable feature, and the third selectable feature are each selectable from a screen of the unified incident management interface.
