USING THE FILTER
29
FILTER USAGE Filters can be applied to most reports. When a Filter is selected, the selection can be persistent (via Reporting Options) and could appear in another report you may do later on. Be warned that you may be using a filter with outgoing data for an incoming type or incoming selected report. (Thus producing no data in the report).
30
FILTER USAGE Select a Report. In this case we are using the Chronological Report
31
RESULTING REPORT Click Icon to see report
32
RUNNING REPORT WITH A FILTER Select a Report. Chronological Report again And Click this button. A drop down menu would appear. Select the Filter.
33
RESULTING REPORT WITH FILTER Notice the Filter name appears in the report header. And only a single Intl Call Appears.
34
CREATING A FILTER EXAMPLE #2: INTERNATIONAL OR WEEKEND CALLS
35
FILTERS In the previous example, we saw how to create a filter for International Calls on the Weekend. Now we create a filter that shows International Calls OR Weekend Calls
36
TRUTH TABLE FOR EXAMPLES This truth table shows the differences between the two examples using something called logic (boolean) algebra. Notice the AND logic is used for the first example and the OR logic is used for the second example.
37
CREATION STEPS #1 Do all the steps in the previous example except put the name as ‘Intl or Weekend Calls’. Then click on the advanced button. Click on this label to change the logic
38
STEP #2 Next Click on the [AND] label here once to change the logic to [OR].
39
STEP #3 Next Click on this label twice to stop the logic chain.
40
STEP #4 Finally select, via the drop down boxes, what items to [OR] in this case, it would be.. DOW (day-of-week) and TYP (call type).
41
FINAL STEP Click Save on this and then OK. You should see this.
42
FINAL REPORT Click Icon to see report
43
REPORTS HISTORY Whenever a report is run, a track of all the past reports is kept in Reports | History.
44
BACKUP Also, in the backup screen(Tools|Backup), you will see the option to backup all reports and purge them as well
45
THE REPORTS DIALOG SCREEN
46
THE REPORTS DIALOG Relevant Range for the report type. Filter usage Contact Database Usage Dates on file Dates you selected Where Reports go..
47
THE REPORTS DIALOG Range Select button Calendar Button Quick Date Range Button File Format Basic Calling Type
48
REPORT DIALOG WITH PRINTER Notice there is an option for Print Setup
49
REPORT DIALOG WITH EMAIL Notice there is an option to send to an email user. This is available once Email supported is enabled. Notice the options available
50
CONTACTS The contact table can be used for further filtering. Once the numbers are categorized in the table, You can show or exclude categories from the reports as desired. You can also exclude all the numbers in the contacts table as well. This is good to find abuse, provided the contact table are legitimate business numbers.
51
USING CONTACTS Notice the options available
52
CONTACT CATEGORIES Example of Contact Categories
53
TROUBLE SHOOTING Report Contains no data
54
1. DATE RANGES You specified a date range outside of the call database – e.g. 1-Mar-2019 to 2-Mar-2019 You specified a date range in reverse.e.g. 1-Mar-2008 to 22-Feb-2008 You date range was valid but there were no calls for that day e.g. weekend or holiday**
55
1. DATE RANGES (CONT) The date range you requested is valid as far as you can tell BUT the call database did not have calls YET for that date (polling stopped) The date range you requested is valid as far as you can tell BUT the call database dates are incorrect (do a date repair) (Also ensure PBX/PC/Buffer times are set)
56
2. REPORT RANGES The report inherently can never contain the type of data you are asking for e.g. 1. Digit Detail with only Incoming selected 2. Auth Code detail with only Incoming 3. Abandoned stats for Outgoing calls
57
2. REPORT RANGES (CONT) The organizational range is invalid e.g. Ext 2000-2010 when your PABX ext range is 3000-5000. A Call Direction was not specified (In/Out) Basic Call Type was not specified (Cot/Tie/Int/T2T)
58
3. FILTERS The filter you selected can never apply to the report selected.e.g. 1. A Filter called ‘calls over $10’ coupled with a report Abandoned calls Detail 2. A Digit based filter for incoming report NOTE: Filters are used mainly to affect reports based on outgoing calls (digits and cost)
59
3. FILTERS (CONT) You created a filter whose criteria can ‘probably’ never be matched e.g. 1.Calls over $2000 2. Cell calls on Wednesday after 5pm whose cost is more than $50. 3. Conflicting Digits with the Call Type.e.g Cellular calls with numbers beginning with ‘623’
60
4. DEPARTMENTS You created departments with invalid extensions The departments you selected in the report will never ‘likely’ have calls for that filter you selected e.g. International Report filter for the Machine Shop Department (ok, it is possible but very unlikely)
61
5. AUTH CODES No report for this auth code you entered!! Usually the auth code you entered in the extension table may be invalid or actually begins with a zero e.g. you entered ‘1234’ in the table But the auth code is in fact ‘01234’ YES you can ‘0’ pad auth code entries
62
5. AUTH CODES (CONT) I am seeing unknown auth codes in the reports!! If you do an unassigned Auth Code Reports you will see a list of auth codes that are being used in the PABX BUT Call Tracker does not have it in it’s Extension Table Assign them or delete them from the PABX if in fact they are not supposed to exists
63
6. AUTH CODES (CONT) But I have 5 uses to one extension? Well, Create 5 entries with the same extension but different names and auth codes Also set one of the extensions as main so an appropriate name will appear in extension based reports
64
7. AUTH CODES (CONT) I have users that do not use codes In the report interface type in ‘All2’ This will group the non auth users in a blank field showing their calls
65
SOLVING THESE PROBLEMS
66
1. WIDEN RANGES Redo the report without filters and with all call types checked (TIE/COT/T2T/INT) Select both directions (In/Out) If you select one direction use common sense to determine if it were a correct selection (e.g. Does Auth code calls apply to incoming calls only???)
67
2. STILL NOTHING? Does calls actually exists for the days you selected? Do a List Dates! (Tools | Call Database | List dates) Don’t have access to this? Do a daily call volume report!
68
MORE NOTHING!! Finally, it is quite possible that there were no calls for the report you selected even though it should logically be there!! How to really know this? In call tracker, the actual un-process call records are kept. This is what comes from the PABX before call tracker ‘does it’s thing’ Called Capture Text
69
CAPTURE TEXT You can manually search this data and see for sure that the lack of data in your report is the case. This can also apply for long duration calls. Some PABXs can (and have) at times tied up trunks for many hours (or days) and can create an artificially very costly call) Remember Call Tracker is going to COST any record that comes from the PABX including long duration calls and short duration calls that may not have gotten through!
70
CAPTURE TEXT Finally Did Mike from the machine shop really made a call to Germany?
