CAR provides reporting capabilities for three levels of users:
Administrators - Generate system reports to help with load
balancing, system performance, and troubleshooting.
Managers - Generate reports for users, departments, and QoS to help
with call monitoring for budgeting or security purposes and for determining the
voice quality of the calls.
Individual users - Generate a billing report for their calls.
Note
Depending on your job function, you may not have access to every
report that is described in this chapter.
Top N Charge reports the users who made the maximum charge for
the specified date range. If you are a manager, the report includes the top
charges for all calls that users who report to you made during the specified
period. If you are a CAR administrator, the report includes the top charges for
all calls that all users on the system made for the specified period. You can
generate each Top N Charge report with options to show the information by
individual users, by destinations, or by all calls.
Top N Duration reports the top number of users that incurred a
maximum time on calls during a period that you specify. If you are a manager,
the report lists the top number of users who report to you that incurred a
maximum time for calls that were made during the chosen date range, starting
with the longest. If you are a CAR administrator, the report lists the top
number of users that incurred a maximum time for calls that were made during
the chosen date range, starting with the longest. You can generate each Top N
Duration report with options to show the information by individual users, by
destinations, or by all calls.
Top N Number of Calls reports the top number of calls that were
made and received by users during a period that you specify. If you are a
manager, the report lists the top number of calls by users among the users who
report to you for the chosen date range. If you are a CAR administrator, the
report lists the top number of calls for each user in the system. You can
generate each Top N Number of Calls report with options to show the information
by individual users and by extensions.
This section describes how to generate, view, or mail reports
about the top calls when classified by cost.
