User reports description
Users, managers, and CAR administrators can generate user reports. CAR includes the following user reports:
- Bills
- Individual - Available for users, managers, and CAR administrators. Individual bills provide call information for the date range that you specify. You can generate, view, or mail summary or detail information about your individual phone bills. Those CAR administrators who are also application users cannot get this report.
- Department - Available for managers and CAR administrators. Department bills provide call information and quality of service (QoS) ratings. If you are a manager, you can generate a summary or detailed report of the calls that are made by all users who report to you, or only those users that you choose. If you are a CAR administrator, you can generate a summary or detailed report of the calls that some or all users in the system make. This report helps you to keep track of all calls on a user-level basis for the entire system.
- Top N
- By Charge - Available for managers and CAR administrators. The Top N by Charge reports list the top number of users that incurred a maximum charge for calls during a period that you specify. Reports that are generated by destinations list the destinations that incurred the maximum charges. Reports that are generated by all calls list the calls that incurred the maximum charges. If you are a manager, the report includes the top charges for all calls that are made by users who report to you during the specified period. If you are a CAR administrator, the report includes the top charges for all calls that are made by all users on the system for the specified period.
- By Duration - Available for managers and CAR administrators. The Top N by Duration reports list the top number of users that incurred a maximum time on calls during a period that you specify. Reports that are generated by destinations list the destinations that incurred the maximum duration. Reports that are generated by all calls list the calls that incurred the maximum duration. If you are a manager, the report lists the top number of users who report to you who incurred a maximum time for calls that are 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.
- By Number of Calls - Available for managers and CAR administrators. The Top N by Number of Calls reports list the users who incurred the maximum number of calls. Reports that extensions generate list the extensions that placed or received the greatest number of calls during a period that you specify. If you are a manager, the report lists the top number of calls by user or extension, 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 or extension in the system. Reports that are generated By Individual Users lists the users who incurred the maximum number of calls. Reports that are generated By Extensions lists the extensions that have placed or received the greatest number of calls in the group (for a manager) or in the system (for the CAR administrator).
- Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant
- Manager Call Usage - Available for CAR administrators. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant (IPMA) summary and detail reports provide call completion usage details for IPMA managers. The manager reports can include calls that managers handle for themselves only, calls that assistants handle for managers only, or calls that both managers and assistants handle for managers.
- Assistant Call Usage - Available for CAR administrators. The Cisco IPMA summary and detail reports provide call completion usage details for IPMA assistants. The assistant reports can include calls that assistants handle for themselves only, calls that assistants handle for managers, calls that assistants handle for themselves and for managers.
- Cisco IP Phone Services - Available for CAR administrators. The Cisco IP Phone Services report shows selected Cisco IP Phone services, the number of users that are subscribed to each of the selected services, and the utilization percentage for each of the selected services. You can create services for a wide variety of business and entertainment uses. If you have revenue tied to a service, such as for advertising, you can use this report to determine the number of users who have subscribed to the service. You can also use this report to indicate the popularity of selected services.
