Unified CCX Reporting

Reporting Administration on Unified CCX

Import of Stock Reports

If you import stock reports from Unified Intelligence Center, run the CLI utils uccx synctocuic permission all command to reset the permissions of the user groups. For more information, see utils uccx synctocuic command in the Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Administration and Operations Guide.


Note

Do not create a sub-category under the Stock category as the permissions for the Stock category is automatically reset at midnight.

You can now rename the Stock Reports folder name.

Unified CCX Historical Reports

Historical reports are the preconfigured reports in Unified Intelligence Center. These reports access past data from the historical data source to display information for the specified period of time.

Unified CCX Historical Datastore

In a Unified CCX Cluster, there can be one or more Historical datastores.


Note

Support for High Availability and remote servers is available only in multiple-server deployments.

The Historical Unified CCX Datastore can be co-located with the Unified CCX.


Note

In a Unified CCX High Availability server with co-resident Cisco Unified Intelligence Center, Cisco Unified Intelligence Center will intelligently point to the appropriate datasource. This will require no manual configuration during failover or in island mode scenario. For more information about Historical datastore, see Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Serviceability Administration Guide.

Historical Reporting Configuration

The Unified CCX Historical Reporting subsystem provides you with a way to set up and manage the purging of the Historical Reporting databases.

Setting up Unified CCX for Historical Reporting consists of the following tasks:

  1. Configure Automatic Purging

Configure Database Server Limits

To limit the performance impact of historical reporting on a particular Unified CCX server, you can configure a maximum number of five client/scheduler database connections per server.

To do so, complete the following steps:

Procedure
Step 1

From the Unified CCXAdministration menu bar, choose Tools > Historical Reporting > Database Server Configuration.

The Database Server Configuration web page opens with the following fields:

Field

Description

Server Name

The hostname or IP Address of the database server.

Maximum DB Connections for Report Clients Sessions

The maximum number of client and scheduler connections that can access the Historical Reports Database server.

There is a limit of instances for the reporting client sessions and the scheduler sessions based on the load that can be run on each server. The following are the limits:

  • Standalone Setup—1 to 8 instances

  • High Availability Setup—1 to 16 instances
Step 2

Enter a value in the Maximum DB Connections for Report Client Sessions field next to a Server Name.

Step 3

Click Update.

The configuration changes take effect.

View Historical Reports

You can view historical reports through the Unified Intelligence Center.

Procedure

Choose Tools > User Management > Reporting Capability View

The User Configuration web page opens.

Purge of Historical Data

As the Unified CCX Engine runs, it collects information about the status and performance of the Unified CCX system. Historical information is stored in a database that can then be accessed to provide reports.

When the database approaches its maximum size, some or all of the data in it must be removed. Removing data from a database is called purging.

When the system purges data, it removes data from the db_cra database. It determines what information to purge based on the number of months you specify and on the current date. For example, if you instruct the system to purge data older than 12 months, a purge on January 15 will purge data older than January 15 of the previous year.


Note

When you purge data, you permanently delete it. If you want to keep data that will be purged, back up the database.

Unified CCX Administration provides the following features for purging historical reports from the database:

  • Daily comparison of the size of the database to a user-specified maximum size

  • User-specified time at which the system purges data

  • Automatic purging of the database when it exceeds the user-specified maximum sizes

  • Automatic purging of the database based on user-specified parameters

  • Manual purging of the database


Caution

Not configuring the Purge parameters may make your database to be overloaded with large number of records. This leads to call data not being written to database.

Configure Automatic Purging

The Unified CCXEngine performs automatic purging each day at a preset time.

To help keep your system running most efficiently, schedule automatic purging to run when your system is least busy. By default, daily purges are scheduled to run at 01:00 a.m. (01:00 Hrs), but you can change this time.

The system bases its purging activities on a variety of parameters. You can change the default value for any parameter as needed.

The following section contains the procedure for setting the daily purge schedule and auto purge.

Configure Purge Schedule Configuration Parameters

You can change the time of day that the system assesses the need to purge data and the age of data to purge.

When data is purged, the Unified CCX sends a "Database purged" message. This message announces that a purge has taken place and includes an explanation of the purging activity. If the database is approaching its maximum size, then the Unified CCX sends the following message - "Database approaching maximum size".

The system can send notifications through the following two methods:

  • Syslog (system log)
  • SNMP traps

To set the purge schedule configuration parameters, complete the following steps.

Procedure
Step 1

From the Unified CCXAdministration menu bar, choose Tools > HistoricalReporting > Purge Schedule Configuration.

The Purge Schedule Configuration area opens. The following fields are displayed in the Purge Schedule Configuration area.

Field

Description

Purge Schedule

Daily purge at

Time of day for the daily purge along with the time zone. The time that appears here is based on the primary time zone, which is specified during initial setup of Unified CCX Administration.

In a High Availability over WAN deployment, the purge schedule will happen at the time zone of the primary node.

Note 

Unified CCX to Unified Intelligence Center sync runs as part of the purge. It synchronizes the users, teams and grants Live Data report permissions.

Purge data older than

Data can persist for a number of months before being purged.

Purge run time

The total duration for which the purge process should run.

Auto Purge Configuration

Initiate automatic purge when database exceeds

Percentage of the maximum database size at which an automatic purge is initiated (as compared to the total available size).

Initiate automatic purge when extent size exceeds

Percentage of the maximum extents size of any table above which an automatic purge is initiated.

Auto purge data for the oldest

Age of data to be purged.

Step 2

From the drop-down list in the Daily purge at field, choose a time of day at which the system determines if purging is necessary.

Step 3

From the drop-down list in the Purge data older than field, choose the required number of months.

If the system determines that purging is necessary, it will purge both databases of data that is older than the number of months specified in this field.

Step 4

From the drop-down list in the Purge run time field, specify the required number of hours.

If the system determines that purging is necessary, it will purge both databases of data within the specified duration of time.

Step 5

From the drop-down list in the Initiate automatic purge when database size exceeds field, accept the default, or choose another number.

Step 6

From the drop-down menu in the Auto purge data for the oldest field, accept the default of 15, or choose another number.

Step 7

From the drop-down list in the initiate automatic purge when extent size exceeds field, accept the default , or choose another number.

Step 8

Click Update icon that displays in the tool bar in the upper, left corner of the window or the Update button that displays at the bottom of the window.

The new purge schedule configuration is added to the Unified CCX system.

Purge Manually

You can manually purge the databases at any time. This action will not affect the automatic purging schedule.


Note

Support for High Availability is available only in multiple-server deployments.

To manually purge historical data, complete the following steps.

Procedure
Step 1

From the Unified CCXAdministration menu bar, choose Tools > HistoricalReporting > Purge Now.

The Purge Now web page opens. The Purge data older than field is displayed in the Purge Now web page. You can specify this field in months and days.

Step 2

From the drop-down list in the Purge data older than N months field, keep the default (13 months) or specify the required number of months.

If the system determines that purging is necessary, it will purge both databases of data that is older than the number of months specified in this field.

The Initiate automatic purge when database exceeds field displays the current historical database size as compared to the total available size.

Step 3

From the drop-down list in the Purge data older than N days field, keep the default (15 days) or specify the required number of days.

If the system determines that purging is necessary, it will purge both databases of data that is older than the number of days specified in this field.

Step 4

From the drop-down list in the Purge run time, keep the default (7 hours) or specify the required number of hours.

If the system determines that purging is necessary, it will purge both databases of data within the specified duration of the time .

Step 5

Click Purge Now.

The database purge is initiated in the server and the Purge Now area refreshes.

Unified CCX to Unified Intelligence Center Synchronization

The Unified CCX to Unified Intelligence Center synchronization runs as part of daily purge at midnight.

The following updates occur during the synchronization:

  • Based on the user role (agent, supervisor, or reporting user) configured in Unified CCX, the corresponding user in Unified Intelligence Center gets added to the respective group (agent, supervisor or reporting group). The groups have predefined permissions for folders, reports and report definitions. If you edit the permissions manually in Unified Intelligence Center, these changes are reset to the predefined settings during the daily purge.

  • Unified CCX sets the group association for its users based on the highest level role (reporting user, supervisor or agent) for the user. Any custom group associations that may have been done on Unified Intelligence Center is retained.

  • Users created directly in the co-resident Unified Intelligence Center are removed. However, users created in the standalone Unified Intelligence Center are retained.

  • Custom user groups remain unchanged unless they refer to agent, supervisor, and reporting groups and these groups get reset during the synchronization.

File Restore

Use the File Restore menu option to restore the database records written to HR files when the database goes down.

Unified CCX Real-Time Reports

When the Unified CCX system is configured and functioning, you can run reports to monitor real-time activity using the Unified CCXAdministration web interface.

Administrator Overview

Access to the functions in the Unified Intelligence Center reporting application is controlled by the one or more users who have the user role of Security Administrator.

The initial, default Security Administrator is the user defined as the System Application User during the installation.

Security Administrators can:

  • Create and maintain users.

  • Assign User Roles—User roles are assigned to users to control access to drawers and what objects the user can create.

  • Assign users to User Groups.

  • Create and maintain user groups.

  • Assign Permissions—Whereas User Roles are associated with people, permissions are associated with objects (Dashboards, Reports, Report Definitions, Data Sources, Value Lists, and Collections).

  • Use the Run As feature to verify other users' permissions.

Security Overview

Unified Intelligence Center security offers multilayered and flexible functionality that allows a security administrator to create a flat or a tiered structure of access to Unified Intelligence Center functions, based on the organization's needs.

A user's access to Unified Intelligence Center functions is based on:

  • Login authentication.

  • License type under which the user's organization runs Unified Intelligence Center. For example, organizations that use a Standard license cannot access the Report Definition functions.

  • User Role (a user can have one, some, or all seven User Roles).

  • User Groups in which user is a member.

  • For an object the user can access, the object-level permissions assigned by the person who created that object.

User List

User List page opens from the Security drawer. If a user who does not have the Security Administrator user role accesses this page, that user can see all the parameters except the user roles. The user cannot change his role or group membership.

When Security Administrators access this page, they can see all existing users; can create users, modify or delete users, review or edit user information, and use the Run As feature to work in Cisco Unified Intelligence Center as a user.

  12. In the Roles field, select and assign one or more roles for this user.

    If the Security Administrator adds or changes User Roles, the change does not take effect until the user logs out and then logs in again.

  13. In the Permissions field, choose the user's permission setting preference for My Group when creating new objects. My Group is the object owner's default group.

    Note 

    Settings for My Group configures whether other users who belong to this user's default group can write, or execute the objects. Higher level permissions persist and override other permissions.

Step 3

Under the Groups tab, you can determine which groups this user is a member of and how to add group membership(s) for a user. You can view the following:

  • My Group: This field shows the user's default group. The Security Administrator can change it. The group is represented as “My Group” for the user.

  • Available Groups: This list shows all the groups that have been created and that the user is not yet a member of. You can use arrows to move groups between columns.

  • Selected Groups: This column shows all the groups that the user is a member of. You can use arrows to move groups between columns.

    Note 

    By default, every user has AllUsers in their Selected Groups column. You cannot remove the AllUsers group from the Selected Groups column.

User Groups

User Groups page opens from the Security drawer. Use it to see the existing groups, to create or delete groups, and to review or edit group information.

The following are the two default groups created by the system:

  • The AllUsers group is supplied by Unified Intelligence Center. All users belong to this group by default.

  • The Administrators group consists of administrators.

Overview

User Groups are constructs that allow security administrators to partition Unified Intelligence Center functionality.

Creating User Groups expedites the process of provisioning users when multiple users need the same access to dashboards and reports, or when users require distinct permissions and features based on regional or organizational requirements.

User groups have no impact on how data is stored in the database. They are used only for assigning permissions to all the user members of the group through one operation instead of repeating the same operation for each user.

System-Defined All Users Group

All users are automatically a member of the system-defined All Users group.

All Users always appears on the User Groups window. The security administrator cannot delete it.

System-Defined Administrator User Group

The security administrator is automatically a member of the system-defined Administrators group and can add other security administrators to it.

Additional Security Administrators must be added to the Administrators group. Having the role does not automatically make them members of that group.

Customer-Defined User Groups

Security administrators can create any number of user groups and can add users to them. From those other user groups, one is designated as the user's Group (also called My Group).

Create a User Group

To create a user group, perform the following:

Procedure

Step 1

Navigate to Security > User Groups.

Step 2

Under the General Information tab, perform the following:

  1. In the Group Name field, enter the name of the group. This field is available only when you create a new group.

  2. In the Description field, enter or modify text to describe this group

Step 3

Under the Groups tab, perform the following:

  1. Default Group—From the drop-down list, enter the default group.

  2. Available Groups—Lists the groups that were created and that are available for this group to become a child of. Click > or < to move just that group or groups.

  3. Selected Groups—Lists the groups that this group is a child of. Click > or < to move just that group or groups.

Step 4

Under the Groups Members tab, perform the following:

  1. Under Users tab:

    • Available Users—Lists all the users that were created and that are available to be children of this group. Click > or < to move just that group or groups.

    • Selected User Members—Lists the users that are currently children of this group. Click > or < to move just that group or groups.

  2. Under Groups tab:

    • Available Groups—Lists all the groups that were created and that are available to be children of this group. Click > or < to move just that group or groups.

    • Selected Groups Members—Lists the groups that are currently children of this group. Click > or < to move just that group or groups.

Step 5

Click Save to update new entry or changes to the fields.

Step 6

Click Cancel to cancel or close the page.

Manage User Permissions

Use this page to set extra permissions to Groups or to individual users.

User permissions page has the following tabs:

About Permissions

User Roles are associated with people and permissions are associated with objects. Unified Intelligence Center objects are Dashboards, Reports, Report Definitions, Data Sources, Categories, Value Lists, and Collections.

Permissions:

  • EXECUTE: When the user has EXECUTE permissions for an object, that user can perform some actions that depend on the object.

    For example, with EXECUTE permission, a user can run, print, and refresh a report, open and refresh a dashboard and run a dashboard slide show, and see a Value List query. EXECUTE permission includes the read permission.


    Note
    Permissions set on categories are not recursive. For all entities under Dashboard, Report, or Report Definition types, you need separate EXECUTE/WRITE permissions.

  • WRITE: When the user has WRITE permission for an object, that user can alter, rename or delete the object. For example, With WRITE permission, you Save As, import, and export reports; you can edit a data source and can delete a custom Value List. WRITE permission also includes EXECUTE and read permission.


    Note
    If no check boxes are selected when setting permission for an object, the user has no access privileges to the object.

    The following rules are applicable for all category trees in Unified Intelligence Center — Reports, Report Definitions, Dashboards.

  • To delete an entity, you need WRITE permissions for the entity and the entity's parent category.

  • To delete a category, you need WRITE permissions for the category, the category's parent, and all the categories and/or entities belonging to the category.

  • A user can only Edit or Save an entity even if the immediate parent category has no WRITE permissions.

  • A user can only use the Save As feature if the entity has no WRITE permissions enabled.

  • Any category owner within the Imported Report Definitions can delete a category if the administrator provides explicit WRITE permissions on the Imported Report Definitions category.

Permissions are combined and the highest level prevails.

A user receives permission for an object from different sources. Permission can be inherited from the AllUsers group, the Default Group (My Group), or the permission assigned by the Security Administrator. Among all these permissions, the highest level permission is used when the user accesses the object.

User Roles and Permissions

Your User Role allows you to "open" the drawer that corresponds to that role. If you have EXECUTE permission, you can create objects for that drawer. For example, if you are a Dashboard Designer, you can create dashboards on the Available Dashboards page.

When you create an object, you are the owner of that object. You have WRITE permission for the object, and you can set the permissions for that object for users in your Group only.

If the object is still a work-in-progress and you do not want anyone to access it yet, you can make it "private" by leaving all permissions unchecked for both the All Users and the Groups.

When the object is ready, set your default Group (My Group) permissions to EXECUTE or even WRITE. For example, if you create a Dashboard for your Group and the dashboard has notes, you might want others in your Group to update the notes.

Even though you are a Dashboard Designer, if the Available Dashboards page contains dashboards created by (owned by) other Dashboard Designers, you may not be able to see those dashboards, based on your Group permissions and on the object-level permissions those owners have set for their dashboards.

Assigned Group Permissions

Procedure

Step 1

Select the object type in the Permissions For panel. For Dashboard, Report or Report Definition type, you can select a category or an object within a category. For other object types, select an object from the list. All the groups that have already been assigned permissions for the object are displayed in the Group permissions for the selected item panel.

Step 2

Select a group in the All Groups panel. All user members of this group are displayed in the All Users for the selected group panel.

Step 3

Click Set Permissions. Check the level you want for the group (Execute, Write), and click OK.

Step 4

The Group Permissions for the selected item panel updates to include the group and its assigned permission you defined in Step 3.


Note
If the Security Administrator adds or changes User Permissions, the change may not occur immediately.

Audit Trail Logging in Cisco Unified Intelligence Center

Unified Intelligence Center now supports Audit Trail Logging. This feature allows you to view the sequence of audit records of the transactions related to create, update, modify, and delete that are performed on the entities of a Unified Intelligence Center server. You can view the audit trails using the Audit Trail stock report. Only System Administrators can access and view this feature by default. However, a System Administrator can then give permissions to other Unified Intelligence Center users to use this feature.

Note

Localization of Audit Trail report is not supported.

Views: This report has three grid views - Non-grouped, Groupby – EntityName, Groupby –Username.

Grouping: This report has two grouped views - grouped and sorted by User and Entity Name. The third view is un-grouped which is also the default view for this report.

Value List: CUIC Users, CUIC Operations, CUIC Entity Types.

Database Schema Tables from which data is retrieved:

  • CUICAUDITLOG

  • CUICLOGEDENTITY

Security Considerations

If you make the user a member of one or more other groups, make one of those groups the user's default group, and set the permissions for the default group higher than those of the AllUsers group.

Higher permissions for the default group prevail over permissions in the AllUsers group. Individual user permissions prevail over group permissions.
