Introduction

The Call Volumes report gives you a complete picture of your call volumes organised by site, group or user. It provides a clear, graphical and tabular representation of your outbound, answered and abandoned calls, broken down into hourly time slots. Internal and external calls are itemised separately and every value can be toggled between a percentage or a number. Additionally, all of the displayed values are shown as hyperlinks, allowing you to drill down further into the results.

The report's results

Below is an example of this report's output in Web format:

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. To view details of any filters or parameters used in creating this report, click on About this report at the top-right corner of the page.

The report is divided into three sections: Graph, Details and Summary.

Graph

The Graph tab provides a visual representation of all inbound, outbound and missed calls for both external and internal call activity. A simple toggle button at the top right of the screen enables you to flip between call volumes and percentages.

Details

The Details tab shows the actual volumes (or percentages) of calls for each time slot throughout the day.

All numeric figures are shown as hyperlinks, allowing you to drill down into an itemised list of the calls that they represent.

Below is a description of each table header:

Header	Description
Date & Time	The date and time the call started.
Source	The place from where the call originated.
CLI	The telephone number of the remote caller for inbound calls.
Route	The information displayed in this field is determined by the type of call: for incoming calls, this shows the CLI of the caller; for incoming internal calls, this shows either the caller's username or extension number; for outgoing calls, this shows the dialled number;
Destination	The information displayed in this field is determined by the type of call: for incoming calls, this shows the name of the user whose extension answered the call, or the extension number if not available; for outgoing calls, this shows the geographical location that was dialled, or an alias if defined in your contacts list; for internal calls, this shows the extension that was dialled, enclosed in square brackets [ ].
Response	The length of time it took for the call to be answered (i.e. the response time)
Duration	The duration of the call (in hours, minutes and seconds)
Cost	The cost of the call.

Summary

The Summary tab shows a summary of all call activity for the reporting period you selected.
