Call playback audit
Contents
Introduction
Provides comprehensive data compliance auditing by showing which web users have listened to the audio of your phone calls. Summary information is grouped by department, with the ability to drill down into each web user's individual listening activity.
Running the report
On the reports screen, select the Year-on-year report from the left-hand panel 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:
| Period | Description |
|---|---|
| Today | The start and end dates are set to the current date. The start time is set to 00:00:00 and the end time to 23:59:59. |
| Yesterday | The start and end dates are set to the current date minus one day. The start time is set to 00:00:00 and the end time to 23:59:59. |
| This week | The start date is set to the first day of the current week (normally Monday). The end date is set to the current day. The start time is set to 00:00:00 and the end time to the current time. |
| Last week | The start date is set to the date of the last Monday, and the end date is set to the start date plus seven days. The start time is set to 00:00:00 and the end time to 23:59:59. |
| This month | The start date is set to the first day of the current month. The end date is set to the current day. The start time is set to 00:00:00 and the end time to the current time. |
| Last month | The start date for this period is set in three stages: The day is set to the first day of the month. The month is set to the previous month. The year is set to the current year, unless it is currently January, in which case, the previous year is used. The start and end times are set to 00:00:00 and 23:59:59 respectively. |
| This year | The start date is set to the first day of the first month of the current year, whilst the end date is set to today's date. The start and end times are set to 00:00:00 and 23:59:59 respectively. |
| All calls | The start and end dates and times are set to the dates and times of the first and last call in the entire call database, respectively. |
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.
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 .
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.
User
If both a site and group have been selected, you can further limit the report's results to include only calls involving a particular user, by selecting that user from the drop-down list.
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, or to run the report immediately, click the Finish button.
Selecting the report options
This sections allows you to search for specific phone numbers and what deletion should take place. You must enter at least one phone number for this report to run.
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, or to run the report immediately, 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
To produce a report consisting only of calls that were made using a particular account code, enter the account code in the field provided.
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.
Carrier
If you use more than one carrier, you can limit the results to include only calls that were made using a specific carrier.
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.
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:
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:
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).
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
Summary only
To show only a summary of your missed calls, instead of an itemised list, tick the boxSummary only, as shown below:
Hide unused
To exclude unused extensions from your report's results, select the Hide unused option.
Selecting the report format
This section allows you to choose the media format of your completed report. The formats available are 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 selected a reporting period and have chosen any filters and options, you can either run the report immediately by clicking on the Run now button, or schedule it for future delivery.
The report's results
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. By clicking on the About this report link at the top-right corner of the page, you can review any filters and options that have been applied to the report.
As with all reports produced by TIM Plus, 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
Using the web report you can drill down to get more details about which calls the webuser in question has listened to.
The report consists of a table containing an itemised list of the calls that matched your selection criteria. Each column header of the table is described below:
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
| Webuser | The webuser that has requested audio for the calls that match the report criteria. |
| Listen count | How many times the webuser has listened to the calls that match the report criteria. |
| Last call | The latest call with the reported selection that the webuser listened to. |
| First call | The earliest call with the reported selection that the webuser listened to. |
| Last listened | The last call with the reported selection that the webuser listened to. |
| First listened | The first call with the reported selection that the webuser listened to. |
