Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Chapter: Traffic System Reports
Traffic System Reports
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 calls by each user.
 Note | Depending on your job function, you may not have access to every report that is described in this chapter. |
Only CAR administrators can generate the traffic summary report. The report provides information about the call volume for a period that you specify. It includes only those call types and QoS voice-quality categories that you chose.
 Tip | When you configure CAR to generate a traffic summary report, you can choose different call types (On Net, Internal, Local, Long Distance, and so on). CAR compares the traffic volume for every hour interval and identifies the hour with the highest traffic volume (the Busy Hour Call Completion [BHCC] number). To obtain the overall BHCC number, choose all call types when you configure CAR. Under the report title, a separate line displays the BHCC number for that day. |
Only CAR administrators can generate the traffic summary by phone numbers report. The report provides information about the call volume for a period and set of phone numbers that you specify, and includes only those call types and phone numbers that you choose.
Tip | You can use this report to track call usage by a specified group of users, by a department, or by another criteria, such as lobby phones or conference room phones. You can set up this report to generate on a weekly basis. This report helps you determine high-usage users or groups by aggregating the usage level across the users that you specify. |
