Introduction

The Random Call Selection report is useful for obtaining a sample of phone calls from across your organisation for the purposes of call auditing and quality control, especially when coupled with the integrated call recording features of TIM Plus. You can annotate, score, or listen to any of the calls that appear in the report's results.

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 body of the report consists of a table showing a randomly-chosen summary of calls for the period you selected. Each column header of the table is described below:

HeaderDescription
Date & TimeThe date and time the call started.
SourceThe place from where the call originated.
CLIThe telephone number of the remote caller, for inbound calls.
Route

The information displayed in this field is determined by the type of call:

  • for incoming calls, this shows the CLI of the caller;
  • for incoming internal calls, this shows either the caller's username or extension number;
  • for outgoing calls, this shows the dialled number.
Destination

The information displayed in this field is determined by the type of call:

  • for incoming calls, this shows the name of the user whose extension answered the call, or the extension number if not available;
  • for outgoing calls, this shows the geographical location that was dialled, or an alias if defined in your contacts list;
  • for internal calls, this shows the extension that was dialled, enclosed in square brackets [ ].
ResponseThe length of time it took for the call to be answered (i.e. the response time).
DurationThe duration of the call (in hours, minutes and seconds).
CostThe cost of the call.

To modify your report to cover a larger organisational scope, click on an element of the breadcrumb as shown below:
