The report's results

The results of the report show comprehensive call summary information - organised by call type - for the report entity you selected.


The header of the report will display its title, any friendly name you assigned to it, the period of the report and any options you have selected in the report's selection criteria window.

The body of the report consists of a table showing a summary of both incoming and outgoing calls, broken down by extension group. By clicking on a hyperlink, you can drill down into each extension group to obtain the same call information at user level and further, an itemised list of calls for each user.

Each column header shown in the report, both at extension group and individual user level, is described below:

Column headerDescription

Calls OutThe number of outbound calls, divided in two separate columns for internal and external calls
CostThe cost of all outgoing calls
Total CallsThe total number of incoming and outgoing calls logged against the respective extension group or individual user for the time period the report was run
