Introduction

The Daily Activity report provides a summary showing the volume of all inbound, outbound and missed calls for each day. It is useful for organisations whose call traffic fluctuates throughout the year because, by identifying your busiest periods, it allows you to more effectively plan your staffing requirements.

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. 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.

The body of the report consists of a table showing a summary of your incoming and outgoing calls for each day during the period you selected. Each row shows the following information:

HeaderDescription

  • SquiggleImage Added: The total volume of calls received
