<h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>Breaks down your working day into half-hour segments and details important
information about your incoming calls.   See how many answered and
abandoned calls you take, how long it takes you to answer them, 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.</p>

<p>Similarly, you can opt to exclude calls that were answered as a result of a
transfer from one party to another.  This allows you to concentrate

call after speaking with another party.</p>
