Top 50 calls

Introduction

Quickly identify the top 50 calls in terms of cost or duration, for your whole organisation, or a specific group of extensions. This is useful for uncovering abuse or for identifying who is making expensive types of calls, for example calls to Directory Enquiries.

On the Reports screen, either double-click on the Top 50 Calls Report in the reports list or select the Top 50 Calls report and press Run now.
