By clicking on the About this report link at the top-right corner of the page, you can review any filters and options that have been applied to the report.

As with all reports produced by TIM Plus, each page of the report includes the following information:

  • the report's title
  • the date and time that the report was generated
  • the name of the report, if applicable

The Web format is the most interactive of all formats: all column headers are click-sortable and most graphical and tabular elements can be drilled down into, allowing deeper analysis of your results. The headers of this report are as follows:

<h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>The Call Analysis report breaks down your working day into half-hour 
segments and details important information about your calls. You get a 
clear graphical image showing how many calls are abandoned calls and 
answered and how many outgoing calls are made.</p>

<p>This is broken down into half hour timeslots, showing how long it 
takes you to answer or how long people are waiting before they give up 
and abandon the call. These figures are shown as maximum and averages 
so you can more effectively plan your staffing requirements throughout 
each working day. You can add numerous filters which are described here 
in detail, if you want to be even more specific in the information 
displayed.</p>

<p>You can also optimise to exclude weekends from this report, when perhaps 
not many calls are being made or received, and so as not to distort the 
averages. You can also concentrate on incoming or outgoing calls or 
look at all calls.</p>
