<p>Analyse your missed calls in more detail to see which callers have 
and haven't been responded to. Results are arranged into two sections, 
<span class="reference">Missed</span> and <span class="reference">Handled</span>, showing calls that were never responded to, and 
those that were.</p>

<p>Each missed call is also given a priority depending on how many times and how often a caller attempted to make contact.</p>

<p>The call back period i.e. the window in which a call must be responded to in order to be considered handled, is user-definable.</p>

<h2>Understanding the Results</h2>

<p>When selecting <span class="reference">Web</span> as the output format, this report will appear as above.</p>

<p>The Web format allows for complete flexibility when viewing any report. To view details of any filters or selection parameters used in creating this report, simply click on <span class="link">About this report</span> at the top right of the page.</p> 

<p>All headers are clickable allowing you re-arrange the report layout in seconds, to sort the calls in ascending or decending order based on the header clicked. The headers of this report are as follows:</p>

<table class="confluenceTable">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<th class="confluenceTh" width=110>Header</th>
			<th class="confluenceTh">Description</th>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="confluenceTd"><b>Date & Time</b></td>
			<td class="confluenceTd">This column shows the date and time when the call was made.

Overview

The Missed Calls report analyses your missed calls in order to highlight which callers have and haven't been responded to. Each missed call is given a priority rating depending on how many times and how often the caller attempted to make contact. The time window in which a call must be responded to, if it is to be considered handled, is user-definable.

As with all reports produced by TIM Enterprise, 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 report consists of two sections: Missed calls and Handled calls.

Missed calls

The Missed calls tab displays a table containing the calls that were missed and not responded to. Each column header of the table is described below:

HeaderDescription
First attemptThe date and time of the first missed call
CLIThe telephone number of the remote caller
ContactThe person who missed the call. If several people were called, the field will display the caption Various
Avg ring timeThe average length of time a missed call rang before being abandoned
AttemptsThe number of times the caller attempted to reach the specified contact without success
Priority The priority is calculated by dividing the difference in time between the first and last call attempt by the total number of call attempts

Handled calls

The Handled calls tab displays a table containing the calls that were initially missed but eventually responded to. Each column header of the table is described below:

HeaderDescription
HandledThe date and time the call was handled
CLIThe telephone number of the remote caller
ContactThe person who eventually handled the call
DurationThe duration of the handled call
AttemptsThe number of call attempts made before the call was eventually handled
Priority The priority is calculated by dividing the difference in time between the first and last call attempt by the total number of call attempts
Tip

Clicking on an individual call will show an itemised list of all call attempts made by that same caller; clicking on the Expand all link at the top-right corner of the screen will show this itemised list for all missed calls on the page.
