The report's results

Below is an example of this report's output:

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 call volumes, answered calls and abandoned calls, broken down by the target thresholds you have selected.

Each period is shown as a hyperlink which, if clicked on, allows you to see the same summary information for a more granular period, or a fully itemised list of all calls on each day and for each half-hour time slot.

The summary information is displayed in a table containing the following information:

Column header	Description
Month/day/timeslot	The time period the report was ran.
Call Volumes
Column header	Description
Total	The total number of calls in each period
Answered	The number of answered calls in each period
