The Enterprise overview report is an interactive, click-able report, showing call summaries for each type of call - inbound, outbound and missed. The report is useful for comparing call statistics for different parts of your organisation; it allows you to inspect any area of your business, starting at the top level of the directory and then drill-down into the results to see the same call information for each subgroup or individual extension. Totals, maximums and averages are displayed at the foot of each column.

Running the report

On the Reports screen, select the Enterprise overview report from the left-hand pane and click the Select this report button.

A new window will appear, where you can set the parameters of your report.

Selecting the reporting period

For each report, you must specify a time span that covers the calls you want the report to include. This is known as the "reporting period".

There are several preset reporting periods available for selection, based on the standard Gregorian calendar. The following table describes how the start and end times are defined for each preset period:

In addition to the presets described above, it is possible to specify a custom reporting period by choosing Custom period from the Period drop-down list and specifying your own  Start date, Start time, End date and End time of the period you want to report on.

Once you have set the reporting period, click on the Next button to set additional report parameters and options, or select the Finish button to run the report immediately.

Running this report over longer periods of time gives a more accurate picture of your telephone line usage.

Selecting the reporting entity

The Reporting entity parameter allows you to select the part of your organisation whose calls the report should include, e.g. a site, a group or an individual user.

Site

To report on a particular site, select it from the drop-down list or select All sites .

Site

All sites

Group

If a site has been selected, you are able to further limit the report's results by selecting a group from the drop-down list.

Group

All groups

User

If both a site and group have been selected, you can further limit the report's results to include calls by a particular user by selecting it from the drop-down list.

User

All users

If your web account is restricted to a specific site or group, only those entities to which you have access will be available in the drop-down lists.

Once you have selected the scope of your report, click on the Next button to set additional report parameters and options. To run the report immediately without doing so, click the Finish button.

Selecting the report filters

You can limit the results of your report by choosing one or more of the following filters:

Account code

If you want to produce a bill consisting of only chargeable calls that were made using a particular account code, enter the account code in the field provided. 

Account code

0140

To report on more than one account code, separate each code using a comma.

Call type

This filter allows you to define the type of call you want to report on, in terms of where the call originated and where it was delivered, e.g. incoming, outgoing, internal etc.  To report on all types of call, set this to All calls.

Call type

All calls

Carrier

If you use more than one carrier, you can limit the results to include only calls that were made using a specific carrier.

Carrier

All carriers

If you use only one carrier, there will be no drop-down list available and no option to choose a carrier.

CLI

Calling Line Identification (CLI) is the telephone number of the remote caller in an incoming call scenario.

You can report on calls that originate from a specific CLI or those whose CLI matches a particular pattern of digits. For example, to report on all incoming calls from Tri-Line, you could enter 02072652600.

CLI

02072652600

You can use the ! symbol to explicitly exclude a CLI from the report's results, and/or the * symbol as a wildcard in digit pattern matching.  For example, to exclude calls from Tri-Line, but include all others, you could use !020726526*. To report on more than one CLI, use a comma to separate each entry.

Cost

You can define a cost filter to include calls above or below specific values by entering your criteria, as shown below:

Cost

<2.00

You can specify a cost range by using the - symbol; to specify limits, use the comparison operators, >, <, and ! .

Destination

If you want to filter calls to a specific, known destination, type the name of the destination in the text box provided. This filter accepts the ! and * symbols for excluding values and specifying partial matches, respectively.

For example, if you wanted to exclude all calls to France, you could enter !France*, as shown below:

Destination

!France*

Dialled number

To filter calls to a specific dialled number, type it in the text box provided. The dialled number is defined as the number that is dialled (in the case of an outbound call), or the DDI number that the remote party dialled to reach a particular extension or group (in the case of an inbound call).

To filter calls to a specific area, a partial number can be entered (e.g. 0033 for calls to France).

Dialled number

0033

You can use the ! symbol to explicitly exclude a dialled number from the report's results, and/or the * symbol as a wildcard in digit pattern matching.  For example, to exclude calls to Tri-Line, but include all others, you could use !020726526*). To report on more than one dialled number, use a comma to separate each entry.

Duration

To filter calls above or below a particular duration, enter the desired duration in seconds.

Duration

>1800

You can specify a duration range by using the - symbol; to specify limits, use the comparison operators, >, <, and ! .

In the above example, the report will return only calls longer than 1800 seconds (30 minutes).

LCR code

To filter your results to include only calls that used a Least Cost Routing (LCR) code, enter it in the text box provided.

LCR code

162

You can use the ! symbol to explicitly exclude a LCR code from the report's results, and/or the * symbol as a wildcard in digit pattern matching.  For example, to exclude calls made using all LCR codes beginning 162, you could enter !162*. To report on more than one LCR code, use a comma to separate each entry.

Response

This option allows you to filter calls based on their response time, measured in seconds. Specify the desired response time threshold in the text box provided.

Response time

>10

In the above example, the search results will display calls that have a response time greater than 10 seconds. 

You can specify a response time range by using the - symbol and; to specify limits, use the comparison operators, >, <, and ! .

Start time

This option allows you to filter calls based on the time the call started. Specify the start time in the text box provided using the hh:mm:ss format.

For example, to include only calls that began after 10 am, you could enter 10:00:00 in the Start time field, as shown below:

Start time

10:00:00

Trunk access code

If your telephone system uses trunk access codes to connect calls using specific channels, you can limit your report's results to include only calls made using those codes. Specify the trunk access code in the text box provided.

Trunk access code

9

You can use the ! symbol to explicitly exclude a trunk access code from the report's results, and/or the * symbol as a wildcard in digit pattern matching. For example, to exclude calls made using the 9 trunk access code, you could enter !9. To report on more than one trunk access code, use a comma to separate each entry.

Selecting the report options

This section enables you to further narrow down your report results, by excluding certain types of calls. It also allows you to sort the report's results in a particular manner.

Exclude weekends

To exclude weekend calls from your report's results, select the Exclude weekends option.

Exclude weekends

Exclude transfers

To exclude transferred calls from your report's results, select the Exclude transfers option.

Sort results by

To sort your report's results by a particular column, select it from the Sort results by drop-down list.

Sort results by

Day

Ignore short missed calls

Missed calls below a certain duration can sometimes pollute the meaning of a report's results. To exclude such short calls from your report, enter a duration threshold in the text box provided, e.g. to ignore calls below 3 seconds, enter 3 .

Selecting the report format

This section allows you to choose the output format of your report. To select the desired format, click on the drop-down list and choose from the available options: Web, PDF, Excel, CSV and XML. More details about each report format are available in the Setting the report format section above.

Creating the report

When you have chosen a reporting period, and are happy with your selections, you have two options:

• run the report now
• schedule the report for future delivery

If you click on the Run now button, the report will run instantly in your chosen format.

If you want to schedule the report to run at a later time, follow the instruction given in the Schedule a report section.

The report's results

As with all reports, the header of the report includes:

• the report title
• the date and time of the report
• the name of the report, if applicable

In WEB format, the results of the report can be viewed at different organisational levels: site level, group level, user level and as an itemised list.

Site level

At site level, the report will appear as below.

Group Level

The body of the report consists of detailed summary information about each extension group (or individual extension if you already selected an extension group during the criteria selection process). A description of each column header is described here, in order from left to right:

In addition to the summary information, totals and averages of all call types are shown in footer for each column.

User level

To see the information for each individual extension in a particular group, click on the extension group you're interested in, and a new report will be produced showing the same summary information for each individual extension in the selected group, as shown below:

Itemised list

Finally, by clicking on the hyperlink of a particular extension, a new report is produced again, showing - in chronological order - the actual calls that were made or received by that particular extension.

The output for this is slightly different than the previous summary screens and rather than a summary information, the calls are presented as an itemised list. The table below explains what each column represents:

Header	Description
Date & Time	Shows the date and time the calls was started.
Source	Details of where the call originated.
CLI	Shows the caller line identity of the incoming call.
Route	Shows the number that was dialled, in the case of an outgoing or internal call.
Destination	For outgoing calls, shows the destination of the call; for other calls, shows the type of call, e.g. unanswered, abandoned, internal, feature call.
Response	The response field shows the length of time it took before the call was answered i.e. the response time.
Duration	Shows the duration of the call in hours, minutes and seconds.
Cost	Shows the cost of the call.
	Shows only if there is a recording associated with the call. To play, simply click on this icon.
