The Enterprise overview report is an interactive, click-able report offering a complete summary of all call types for all sites or extension groups. The report allows you to start a the top directory level and drill-down into them to see the call summary , showing call summaries for each type of call - inbound, outbound and missed. The report is useful for comparing call statistics for different parts of your organisation; it allows you to inspect any area of your business, starting at the top level of the directory and then drill-down into the results to see the same call information for each subgroup or individual extension. Totals, maximums and averages are displayed at the foot of each column.

The report's results
The results of the report will display as a complete summary of all call types - inbound, outbound and missed calls - for the part of your organisation you have selected. You can run the report at the top directory level and then drill down into it to reveal the same information
of all site or extension groups, showing call summaries for each call type (inbound, outbound and missed calls).
The WEB format of the report allows for complete flexibility when viewing any report. All headers are clickable, allowing you to re-arrange the report layout in seconds, to sort the calls in ascending or decending order based on the header clicked.
As with all reports, the header of the report includes:
- the report title
- the date and time of the report
- the name of the report, if applicable
In WEB format, the results of the report can be viewed at different organisational levels: site level, group level, user level and as an itemised list.
Site level
At site level, the report will appear as below.

The body of the report consists of detailed summary information about each extension group (or individual extension if you already selected an extension group during the criteria selection process). A description of each column header is described here, in order from left to right:
Header | Description |
---|
Site/Extension Group | If reporting on more than one site, the first screen will by default show site information. If reporting on a single site only, the report will display the extension group by default. You can drill-down to the extension group level, by clicking on the individual site name. If an extension group is missing from this list, then the system did not find any calls made or received by any extension in that group. |
Missed | The missed calls column is always displayed as red. It allows you to re-order your call analysis detail based on whichever of the following criteria is most important:- : Shows how many unanswered (or abandoned) calls lost by all active extensions in the particular group displayed.
- Avg duration: Shows the average duration of missed calls for the group displayed alongside.
|
Answered | The answered calls columm is always displayed in green. It allows you to re-order the Call analysis report based on incoming call information. You can re-arrange based on any of the following selection criteria:- : Shows the number of incoming calls that were successfully answered by extensions in the group. Transferred calls are included in this total.
- Total duration: This column shows the total duration of all incoming calls by all extensions in the group.
- Avg duration: The average duration of all incoming calls for the group.
- Avg response: The average time taken to respond to calls for the group/extension displayed.
|
Outbound | The outbound calls column is always displayed in blue. It shows the total number of calls for each half hour, the maximum, average and total duration for calls in that half hour and average and total cost of calls made in that half hour. It also allows you to re-order the Call analysis report based on this outbound call information. You can re-arrange based on any of the following selection criteria:- : The number of outbound calls made by the extension group.
- Total duration: The total aggregate duration of all outgoing calls by all active extensions in the group.
- Avg duration: Average duration of an outgoing calls by all extensions in the group.
- Total cost: Total aggregate cost of all outbound calls made by all active extensions in the extension group.

In addition to the summary information, totals and averages of all call types are shown in footer for each column.
User level
To see the information for each individual extension in a particular group, click on the extension group you're interested in, and a new report will be produced showing the same summary information for each individual extension in the selected group, as shown below:

Source | Details of where the call originated. |
CLI | Shows the caller line identity of the incoming call. |
Route | Shows the number that was dialled, in the case of an outgoing or internal call. |
Destination | For outgoing calls, shows the destination of the call; for other calls, shows the type of call, e.g. unanswered, abandoned, internal, feature call. |
Response | The response field shows the length of time it took before the call was answered i.e. the response time. |
Duration | Shows the duration of the call in hours, minutes and seconds. |
