ABOUT CALL CENTER SUITE
The Call Center Suite is a third-party CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) solution
provider. It links the Inter-Tel System and the computer, providing a seamless and
automated technological partnership.
The Call Center is ideal for businesses, such as an order entry center, help desk (customer support), telemarketing firm, etc., that experience high call volumes and use a
computerized database and/or an automatic call distribution system. With the Call
Center, you can boost efficiency, expand your business, and increase profits with the
following capabilities:
Calls instantly activate your database.
Relevant information from your database is automatically displayed on your
computer screen when you make or receive a call.
The speed and accuracy of outbound calling is increased because your PC does
the dialing.
Powerful reports are easy to build.
Customer information is transferred with the call, if internally transferred.
Calls are handled more quickly and efficiently.
Abandoned calls can be recovered and returned.
Calls can be routed based on current statistics.
E-mails and other media forms can be routed based on a variety of conditions.
Call Center User Guide
Software Modules
OVERVIEW
The Call Center software package contains the following modules:

Server: Links the Inter-Tel telephone system to your computer network to provide basic call logging.
CallViewer: Allows you to screen pop information from the company database,
based on the current call. and handle calls for your extensions.
RealViewer: Allows you to see statistics, at your own computer, based on the
activity of the user or their group.
Reporter (Basic, Reporter, and Pro): Allows you to analyze the historic call log
in a variety of ways to make better business decisions.
Reporter Real-Time (Reporter and Pro): Allows you to analyze the call log in
real-time in a variety of ways to make better business decisions.
Intelligent Router: Allows you to program routing schemes (and numerous
other actions) based on call information and other statistics.
Auto Reporter: Provides web publishing capabilities for Reporter and Reporter
Real-Time.
New Features in 3.1

Version 3.1 supports the following new features:
SmartSync: Automatically updates the database in Server whenever the phone
system programming has changed. Updates apply to extension, agent, hunt group,
and trunk line records.
Node Awareness: Monitors different nodes in a multi-node phone system. Using
Intelligent Router, you can view the status of different nodes.
NOTE: To be node aware, the Server software security key must be licensed
for at least two nodes.
StationViewer Lists: Allows you to configure RealViewer and/or Reporter RealTime with lists that display Direct Station Selection (StationViewer) buttons.
Each button then depicts the current state of the assigned extension.
NOTE: A StationViewer license is required to use the StationViewer feature.
Direct TCP/IP Support: Allows you to connect the Call Center Server to the
phone system via TCP/IP instead of RS232. To connect to the phone system, you
must use a Call Processing (CP) Server, CT Gateway, or Switch Transceiver. If
connecting to a multi-node environment, you must connect to a CT Gateway that
is running at least version 2.0.
NOTE: Although you can still use RS232 to connect to the phone system, it is
recommended that you connect via TCP/IP.
About Call Center Suite
Call Segmentation
Detailed Trunk Call Transfer History: When a call is transferred several times
throughout its duration, the Call Segmentation feature tracks all of the extensions/
agents that have received or transferred the call. With the latest version of
Reporter, you can obtain an entire history of a trunk line call throughout the telephone system and see all the different devices that handled the corresponding
call.
Accurate Call Duration Measurement Against Devices: Call statistics, such as
Talk Time, Avg Talk Time, and Calls In, can be accurately calculated for each
extension or agent even when a trunk call is transferred several times between
different extensions.
Detailed Hunt Group Call Measurement: Call Segmentation gives you more
detailed reporting against hunt group devices. For example, a trunk line call can
be answered by an agent within one hunt group and then transferred by that agent
to a different hunt group. The caller could then abandon the call while waiting in
the second hunt group queue. This trunk call is not only considered answered
in the first hunt group and abandoned in the second, but it will have separate
waiting times associated with the different hunt groups. Call Segmentation tracks
these hunt group statistics separately to enable this type of measurement.
Highly Configurable: The Call Segmentation feature is highly configurable,
enabling you to choose how Call Center will calculate trunk line call statistics for
different devices on the telephone system.
NOTE: The Call Segmentation feature must be enabled for Intelligent Router to work
properly.
For detailed information on Call Segmentation, see the Call Center Users Manual.
Call Modeling
Call Segmentation is provided by modeling calls based on trunk lines or devices.
Each of these options not only have an affect on what information the different modules display, but they affect the performance of the Server and other applications.
When you model calls by trunk line (i.e., Call Segmentation is disabled), the Server
uses less hard drive space. Call reports, however, will be less detailed and include
only one segment per call. When modeling by device (i.e., Call Segmentation is
enabled), the Server uses more hard drive space, but call reports are more detailed as
each call is segmented based on the device where the call rings.
OVERVIEW
Call Segmentation is a configurable feature within Server that improves the accuracy
and details of real-time and historic call reporting. Some of the improvements that
Call Segmentation provides include:
Call Filtering
OVERVIEW
Call Filtering is a feature provided in Reporter and Reporter Pro, RealViewer, and
Intelligent Router. This allows you to filter call information based on different parameters, such as how long the call was active, what ACD hunt group the call rang, what
DID number the call used to access the switch, etc. You can also filter calls by device
or trunk line, which affects how calls are counted for different statistics.
You would filter calls by trunk line when you want trunk-based reporting and calls are
handled by a single device. Although this option results in faster call record processing, statistics will be invalid for any calls handled by multiple devices (e.g., calls that
are transferred, diverted, etc.).
Filtering calls by device, on the other hand, results in a slower processing of call
records. Reports, however, are device-based and include accurate statistics for calls
handled by multiple devices. This option is ideal for cradle-to-grave reporting (i.e.,
tracking a call from the moment it rings in to the switch to the moment it is disconnected).
Call Modeling and Call Filtering
Model By Device
Model By Trunk
How a call is modeled may affect filtering capabilities. The following table will help
you determine which combination will result in the information you need.
Filter By Trunk
Filter By Device
Calls are not segmented by the Server and are

counted as viewed from the trunks perspective.
This works well in an environment where:
Calls are routed directly to a Hunt Group

(or agent).
This combination is NOT recommended.

Calls are not segmented by the Server, but calls are
counted as viewed from the devices perspective.
This results in inaccurate statistics for transferred
calls.
There are no Call Routing Announcements

(CRAs) or, at most, one CRA.
Calls are not transferred.
There is one trunk call per agent.

This combination is NOT recommended.
Calls are segmented by the Server and are counted
as viewed from the trunks perspective. Although
this combination will return accurate statistics, the
calculations will be based on trunk activity; not individual device activity. This could be confusing.
This is the default combination.*

Calls are segmented by the Server and are counted
as viewed from the devices perspective. This works
well in an environment where:
Calls are routed through multiple hunt

groups.
There are multiple CRAs (and IVR).

Calls are transferred.
Many devices handle one trunk call.
* By default, the All Calls filter in Reporter Real-Time and RealViewer filters calls by trunk.
As described in the table, it is best to filter calls in the same way that calls are modeled. This not only ensures the statistics are calculated correctly, but it also prevents
any confusion when running reports or viewing RealViewer tiles.

26
CallViewer
Basic Operation
Before you use CallViewer for call control, ensure the titlebar does not display OffLine or that the picture in the Quick Connect Window does not display a red X ( ).
You must also make sure your telephone extension is working correctly.
Call Control and Hotkey Assignments

You can assign Hotkeys (see page 32) to the different call control functions, such as
dial, answer, transfer, etc. These allow you to perform the call control action while an
application other than CallViewer is active. If you choose, however, to use Hotkeys
for call control, CallViewer will logically choose the call affected by the action. For
example, if you use a Hotkey for retrieving a call from hold, CallViewer will search
the call list and retrieve the first call it finds that is in the held state.
You can make a call using CallViewer in a number of ways, which is described below.
Method A
1. From the Action menu ( ) or the
shortcut menu, click Dial. The Dial
window displays, as shown on the
right.
2. Enter the extension, group, or external
telephone number in the text box, or use the drop-down menu to select a number.
3. Click OK to dial the number or Cancel to close the dialog box without dialing.
Method B
1. Use the Dial List drop-down box to select an existing item, or enter a new number in the Dial combo box in the main CallViewer window.
2. Press ENTER or click (Re)Dial.
Method C
Use the Quick Connect method, as described on page 23.
NOTE: When you make a call by dialing an external telephone number, you do not
need to specify the outbound dial prefix. This is stored in the Server and is sent to CallViewer when it connects on startup. The outbound dial prefix and the long distance dial
prefix codes are automatically added to the beginning of the dial string using the rules
contained within the Dial Settings section of CallViewers Dialing Settings window (see
the Users Manual).
27
CALLVIEWER
Making a Call
Dropping a Call
To drop all calls at your extension, select Release from the Action ( ) or shortcut
menu. Or, click Release on the main CallViewer window. The Release action clears
all non-held calls at your extension. It also makes the extension idle if it is off-hook.
Or, click the
button by the call you want to drop.
Answering a Call
To answer a call alerting your extension, you have the following options:
Select Answer from the Action (
Click the
) or shortcut menu
button by the alerting call in the Call List.
CALLVIEWER
Click the Answer button (to the right of the buttonbar) in the main CallViewer
window. If you choose to answer a call in this way, CallViewer will logically
choose the call to answer (i.e., CallViewer will search the Call List and choose
the first call it finds that is not in the answered state).
Placing a Call On Individual Hold

To place a call on Individual Hold at your extension, select Individual Hold from the
Action ( ) or shortcut menu. Or, click the
button by an unheld call in the Call
List.
Placing a Call On System Hold

To place a call on System Hold at your extension, select System Hold from the
Action ( ) or shortcut menu. Or, click the
button by an unheld call in the Call
List.
Retrieving a Call On Individual Hold

To retrieve a call that is individually held at your extension, select Retrieve From
Hold from the Action ( ) or shortcut menu. Or, click the
button by a held call in
the Call List.
28
CallViewer
Retrieving a Call On System Hold

To retrieve a system-held trunk line call, select Retrieve From Hold to retrieve a call
at the same extension that placed it on system hold. For all other system-held calls,
make a new call (either manually or using the Dial menu item) and specify the trunk
line device of the corresponding call as the dial string.
Transferring a Call Using Inquiry Transfer

The Inquiry Transfer function performs two operations in one: first, you are prompted
to dial another extension or telephone number; second, the current call is placed on
Individual Hold while the transfer destination is ringing. This allows you to verify
that the destination is available (e.g., not busy) and/or inform the person at the destination number that you are transferring a call (i.e., perform an announce transfer).
CALLVIEWER
To perform an inquiry transfer:

1. Select Inquiry Transfer
from the Action ( ) or
shortcut menu. Or, click the
button by a call in the
call list. The Inquiry Transfer dialog box displays.
2. Enter the destination number in the box provided, or use the drop-down box to select an existing number.
3. Click OK to place the active call on hold and dial the specified number. Or, click
Cancel to cancel the transfer and return to the active call.
4. Select Complete Transfer from the Action ( ) or shortcut menu, or click the
button by the call you want to transfer in the Call List. This takes the active
call off hold and transfers it to the dialed destination number, completing the
inquiry transfer.
29
Transferring a Call Using Direct Transfer

A Direct Transfer differs from an inquiry transfer because it does not place the transferring call on hold while ringing the destination number. Instead, it immediately
completes the transfer (i.e., the person at the distant end will hear the call ringing at
the destination number).
To directly transfer any answered or unheld external outbound call:
CALLVIEWER
1. Select Transfer/Redirect
shortcut menu. Or, click
the
button by a call in
the call list. The Direct
Transfer dialog box displays.
2. Enter the extension or number of the destination where you want to directly
transfer the call. Or, use the drop-down box to select an existing number.
3. Click OK to transfer the call to the specified number, or click Cancel to return to
the active call without transferring it.
NOTE: This feature will also redirect an external call that is ringing at your extension if it is not in the answered state.
Redirecting a Ringing Call

This feature allows you to redirect an incoming external call to another destination
before the call is answered.
NOTE: This feature only works with external calls. You cannot redirect internal calls.
To redirect a ringing call.
1. Select Transfer/Redirect
shortcut menu. Or, click
the
button by an external, unanswered call in
the Call List. The Redirect Call dialog box displays.
2. Enter the extension or number of the destination where you want to redirect the
call, or use the drop-down box to select an existing number.
30
CallViewer
3. Click OK to redirect the call to the specified number, or click Cancel to return to
the active call without redirecting the call.
This feature is incredibly useful if a DID number rings directly to your extension
and is configured to queue (or camp-on) if your extension is already busy. In this
case, camped-on calls show in CallViewers call list as alerting calls; so, you can
use the Transfer/Redirect feature to send such calls directly to your operator
(receptionist) or even straight to your voice mail box.
NOTE: This feature will directly transfer a call at your extension if it is in the
answered state and not held.
The Conference allows you to establish a multi-party conference call. When there are
any answered calls or an external outbound call at your extension, the Conference
button (right of the buttonbar on the CallViewer window) and the Conference option
in the Action or shortcut menu become enabled.
To establish a conference call while on a call:
1. Select Conference from the
Action ( ) or shortcut
menu, or click the Conference button in the buttonbar. The current call is
placed on hold, and the Add
Party dialog box displays.
2. Enter the extension number you want to add to the conference, or use the dropdown box to select a number from the list.
3. Click OK to dial the number, or click Cancel to close this box and return to the
active call.
4. Click the Conference button again. This connects the currently active calls.
Repeat these steps as necessary to add additional parties (up to four).
NOTE: The maximum number of parties that may be joined in a conference is four.
Because this maximum includes you, the maximum number of calls you may conference together with yourself is one less than the number actually specified.

DISPLAYING A BUTTON MACRO

Macros enable the activation of other applications intelligently, using information
held within CallViewer. For example, you could use macros to automatically search
for a customer record in your customer database when you answer an external call.
CALLVIEWER
Managers and supervisors typically have someone (e.g., an Installation Engineer) create macros using the Macro Manager. As a user, you can determine which of these
buttons, up to 12, are displayed on the CallViewer buttonbar, as shown below.

RealViewer
The RealViewer is an application that shows real-time call statistics, enabling you to
see current details against all or selected call criteria on the telephone system.
Using RealViewer, you can view statistics, such as the Longest Waiting Inbound Call
Today, either across the telephone system, for a group of extensions, or for a particular event. You can also view the number of agents currently in the busy state or the
number of inbound calls currently waiting to be answered. In addition, you can filter
information based on group, DID number, telephone number, etc.
STARTING REALVIEWER
To start RealViewer:
2. Select the Inter-Tel Call Center Suite submenu.
3. Select RealViewer and then the RealViewer menu item. After a short wait, RealViewer will start.
If this is the first time RealViewer has been run after installation, the RealViewer
Configuration Wizard will run. It will also run if your saved settings are deleted. This
wizard will help you locate a Server if one cannot be found, and it will ask you some
simple questions to help you create a default RealViewer.
The Configuration Wizard contains the following pages:
Welcome: Click Next to continue.
Search For Server: If the network configuration on the computer is correct and
Server has already been appropriately configured, RealViewer will automatically
list the CTI Servers available on the same computer network. You may have to
wait several minutes while RealViewer interrogates the computer network. Select
the CTI Server to connect, then click Next.
RealViewer Style: Select the style of RealViewer that you want to create, and
click Next. You have the following options:
Show statistics for an individual: Select this option to create a RealViewer
that will show statistics for one extension or agent.
Show statistics for a group: Select this option to create a RealViewer that
will show statistics for a group of extensions or agents. You should only
select this if you are a manager or supervisor.
Show statistics for everyone: Select this option to create a RealViewer that
will show statistics for the entire phone system. Again, you should only
select this if you are a manager or supervisor.

Caption
Statistic
Each tile consists of a caption, which describes the display, and the associated statistic. Tiles display a single call summary statistic, which can be filtered to only include
a particular group of agents, or other information, such as the date and time. The statistic can also have an associated alarm that will notify you when the statistic falls
within a certain range (see page 48).
43
REALVIEWER
TILES
Calls Waiting Tile

Before setting up a tile that displays Calls Waiting, you should consider the following:
Filtering: The filter should be set up for the hut group number as the device first
rung. Do not put any extensions or agents in the General tab if you are looking
for Calls Waiting on a hunt group. Putting the hunt group number in the ACD
Hunt Groups tab is not enough; the hunt group must still be in the Call First Rang
At Extension/Group field on the Call Route Tab.
Call Segmentation: If Call Segmentation is disabled, there can only be one
device that is considered first rung. Therefore, if a call is recalled to a different
hunt group, Calls Waiting would show 0 for the second hunt group because the
first hunt group is considered first rung. If Call Segmentation is enabled, each
call segment has a corresponding device as the device that first rang and is, therefore, not affected.
REALVIEWER
Announcements/Overflows: When a call is ringing for a hunt group, Calls Waiting and/or All Calls Ringing will decrease during Announcement and Overflow
messages unless the application numbers and Voice Mail devices are entered in
the Extensions section of Data Manager in Server. Each of these must also have
the Yes, this device is treated as not yet answered and Yes, this device is treated
as not yet rung flags enabled.
See the Users Manual for more information about the flags associated with the Calls
Waiting tile.

WORKING WITH FILTERS

The power of the RealViewer comes from its ability to limit statistics to only certain
types of calls (e.g., inbound only, calls for a specific DID number or list of extensions,
etc.). This is achieved by using filters.
Each tile can have a filter associated with it, which is the All Calls filter by default.
This is the only filter that cannot be edited or removed.
You can create as many filters as you require, limited only by memory, and apply filters to none, one, or many tiles. Filters can also be edited after being created and will
immediately reflect changes in any tiles using the modified filter.
NOTE: You cannot apply filters to the SationViewer list.
Filter Manager
The Filter Manager lists the currently available filters and provides access to programming options.
REALVIEWER
To display the Filter Manager, click the Filter Manager button ( ) on the toolbar or
press CTRL + F. Or, select Filter Manager
from the Main Menu ( ).
You can also add, remove, edit, and copy filters using the buttons described below:
Add: Displays the Add Filter dialog so
you can create a new filter.
Edit: Displays the Edit Filter dialog so
you can edit the selected filter. (You can
also access the Edit Filter dialog box by
double-clicking on the filter you want to
edit).
Remove: Removes the currently selected filter. You are prompted for a confirmation before the filter is removed.
Remove All: Deletes all filters listed except the All Calls filter. You are prompted
for a confirmation before the filters are removed.
NOTE: If you remove all of the filters, tiles are reverted to the All Calls filter.
Copy: Copies the current filter and immediately includes it in the filter list. The
name of the copied filter is the same as the original filter except it includes
(Copy) after the name. For example, a copy of the Sales filter would result in
Sales (Copy).
Each of these options is described in detail in the following pages.
51
Adding a New Filter

To add a filter:
1. Open the Filter Manager, and select Add.
Or, you can click the Add Filter button ( )
in a tiles caption. The Add New Filter
screen displays.

3. Program the information for the selected tabs, as described in the following sections.
4. Click OK when finished, or click Cancel to exit without saving changes. If you
added a filter through the Filter Manager, you are returned to the Filter Manager
screen. If you added a filter using the tile buttons, you are returned to the RealViewer screen.
52
RealViewer
General
This page allows you to create a filter for
calls on certain extensions or agent devices
and includes the following fields:
Filter Description: Enter a unique
description of the filter. This will be displayed in the Filter Manager and on any
tiles caption that uses the filter. The
description should provide enough information so you can easily identify what
the filter displays.
Agents To Filter On: Enter a comma-separated list of agents to include in the

filter. Any calls that ring, are answered, or terminate at one of these agents will be
included in the filter. You can also use the drop-down list to select agents, which
are intelligently added or removed from the list. The list you enter can include
ranges or individual agent items. For example, if you entered 4000-4002,4004,
the filter would include agents 4000, 4001, 4002, 4004.
Calculate statistics by trunk line: Calculates statistics by modeling calls on the
trunk line where the call was active, ignoring transferred calls in the calculation.
For example, a call that rang at group 1000, was answered at extension 210, and
transferred to group 10001 would be considered one call. Select this option when
you want to know the actual call traffic entering the phone system from the telephone company (e.g., to measure how many calls have originated through DID
numbers or from different sets of trunk lines).
Calculate statistics by device: Calculates statistics by modeling calls on devices
(extensions, agents, or hunt groups) on which the call was active, and includes
transferred calls in the calculation. For example, a call that rang at group 1000,
was answered at extension 210, and transferred to group 1001 would be considered two calls: one that initially rang 1000 and one that rang 1001. Select this
option if you want to measure the number of calls that alerted a particular hunt
group or extension.
NOTE: If Call Segmentation is disabled in Server, this option will have no affect,
and the filter will be calculated as if Calculate statistics by trunk line had been
selected.
53
REALVIEWER
Extensions To Filter On: Enter a

comma-separated list of extensions to
include in the filter. Any calls that ring,
are answered, or terminate at one of
these extensions will be included in the
filter. You can also use the drop-down list to select extensions, which are intelligently added to or removed from the list. The list you enter can include ranges or
individual extension items. For example, if you entered 200-204,207,209, the
filter would include extensions 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 207, and 209.
Direction & DID

This page allows you to filter calls based on
whether they are inbound or outbound and
the DID number used for inbound calls.
To filter based on inbound calls, select
Inbound Calls and complete the following
fields in the Inbound Calls Only section:
REALVIEWER
Direct Inward Dialing (DID): Use this

combo box to select which DID digits
and associated DNIS description you
want included in the report. You can specifically choose one DID number from
the combo box, or you can specify more
than one DID number by separating individual DIDs using a comma (,). You can
also specify a consecutive range of DID
numbers by specifying the starting and ending DID numbers, separated by the
hyphen (-). For example, 4210-4213,4230,4233 is a valid entry.
NOTE: The entire DID telephone number may need to be entered in this field
(e.g., 4809619000, 4809619100, etc.).
Caller ID: Specifies whether calls with Caller ID are to be included or excluded.
Yes includes only calls where Caller ID is received; No includes only calls where
Caller ID is not received; and All includes both cases.
Direct Dialed Only?: Click Yes to only include calls which are directly dialed.
Click No to only include calls which are not directly dialed. Click All to include
calls regardless of whether or not they are directly dialed.
Call Cost: Select a comparison type for the call type. For example, to report call
costs that are greater than $5.00, select >. Then enter a call cost (e.g., 5) in the
adjacent field. The call cost is always entered in the main currency unit of $0.00.
To enter fraction of a currency unit, such as $.50, enter 0.50.
NOTE: Using the = comparison for call cost is not advisable. Computers often
store numbers carried out to different decimal places (e.g., 0.50 may be stored as
0.499999999). If this occurs, the equivalence operator will not work because
.4999999 does not equal .50. Use >= or <= where appropriate instead. Also, call
costing calculations are based on limited data input and therefore may differ from
the actual call charges made by the telco.
Cost Group: Select the cost group that you want to use as a filter. A cost group
includes Local, National, International, etc.
54
RealViewer
NOTE: The Call Costs section is disabled for the RealViewer and Reporter Real-Time
modules.
To filter based on outbound calls, select Outbound Calls. All other fields are disabled
(grayed-out).
To filter based on inbound and outbound calls, click All. All other fields are disabled

long they have been ringing (or how long
they rang). Use the drop-down box to
select how you want to filter the calls
ring time.
REALVIEWER
To only include calls that are ringing for

longer than a specified time, select >=.
To only include calls that are ringing for
less than a specified time, select <=.
Then specify the ring time that you want

USING STATIONVIEWER
Versions 3.1 and later include the StationViewer module. This module displays a
Direct Station Select (StationViewer) list that allows you to quickly view the status of
specific devices and to control calls from your desktop. To use this feature, the software security key on the Call Center Server must contain at least one StationViewer
license.
NOTE: If the StationViewer license is available but the window is not displayed, make
sure you have enabled the license (see the Users Manual for details).
StationViewer List
When you activate the StationViewer license, the StationViewer list is automatically
displayed to the left of the tiles (by default). Additional call control buttons are also
included in the toolbar.

The following sections describe the StationViewer list components.
63
REALVIEWER
Until you select the extensions to monitor (see page 67), the StationViewer list is
blank. Once you have programmed the extensions, however, the window displays StationViewer buttons, one for each device.
StationViewer Buttons
The StationViewer buttons indicate the current status of the associated extension and
are displayed within the StationViewer list. To depict the state, each StationViewer
uses three different methods: the lamp indicator, icon, and tooltip.
The lamp (or bulb) indicator is lit a different color, depending on the status of the
extension. For example, in the above illustration, the StationViewer button for extension 1101 (Sue) is displaying a green bulb, indicating that she is in DND. Lamp colors
are configurable for busy, DND, alerting, and idle, as described on page 68.
The tooltip is displayed when you pause the mouse
pointer over a StationViewer button. Each tooltip
provides detailed information about the associated
extension, including the following:
Device: Indicates the extension number of the
device.
Description: Displays the description for that device as programmed in the
phone system. This is usually the username.
REALVIEWER
On call to: Displays the Caller ID name or number of the caller to which the StationViewer extension is currently connected. For IC calls, this is the description
(username) of the caller.
DND: Indicates the DND status. If DND is enabled, the DND message is displayed (e.g., GONE HOME).
FWD: Indicates the forwarding status of the phone. If the phone is forwarded, the
type of forward is displayed (e.g., ALL CALLS).
NOTE: You can also use the StationViewer buttons to handle calls associated with the
StationViewer extensions (see page 69 for details).
64

StationViewer Toolbar Buttons

The StationViewer toolbar buttons perform specific call control functions at your
extension. To use these buttons, you must select your extension in the Call Control tab
of the Configure View screen (see step 6 on page 73). See page 69 for a list of the StationViewer buttons and page 69 for details about using these buttons.
The icon is displayed next to the lamp indicator and provides a graphical depiction of
the extensions current status. The following table lists the various icons and their
associated meanings.

At the bottom of the menu, there is a menu item called Range . Selecting this
item opens a dialog box that allows you to enter a list of extensions to be added to
the StationViewer list. You can include ranges or individual extension items. For
example, if you entered 200-204,207,209, the StationViewer list would include
extensions 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 207, 209.
NOTE: Devices that are added to the list are automatically removed from the Add
menu. This ensures you do not add the same device more than once to the StationViewer list.
Move Up/Down: Moves the selected device up/down in the list. If you move
more than one device at a time, the selected devices are kept in the same order
relative to each other. The order of the extensions displayed in this list is the

information provided by telcos. Additionally, carriers can update their tariffs at any
time. For this reason, changes in tariffs or network carrier discounts cannot always
be reflected.
You can modify these configurations at any time while running Reporter. See the

Network Settings
For the product to obtain real-time call
data from Server, it must be able to
locate a CTI Server (Server). To do
this, select the Network option from
the main menu or click the Network
option button ( ). The Network Settings screen is displayed.
To configure the network settings, you
must first select a protocol. Your
options are NetBIOS (for use with IP/
IPX or NetBEUI) or TCP/IP (for a
direct IP connection). (If you dont
know which protocol to use, ask your
Network Administrator.) You can setup
the CTI Server network either manually or automatically using this screen.
NOTE: Only Server versions 2.51.0033 and later support direct communication using
TCP/IP.
NOTE: You must select a protocol before you can use the Automatic Configuration
option.
To automatically configure the Server, click Auto Configure. The product will automatically attempt to find a CTI Server (Server) on the network. Once Reporter has
found a CTI Server, and the information in this screen is updated, click OK to exit this
screen and save the changes. To cancel unwanted changes, click Cancel.
NOTE: The product will automatically go into the self-configuration mode on startup
either if it has just been installed or if it is unable to find a Server.
83
REPORTER
ALSO: It is recommended that you use TCP/IP if installing any of the Call Center Suite

Running Reports
You can run a report at any time using the reports available in the report list window.
In addition, you can either reload a previously saved report or run a new report.
When you run a report, it is automatically saved to the report cache stored on your
local computer. The next time you run that report, Reporter decides if the report data
needs to be processed again or whether it can be read from the report cache.
For example, if you have a call list report configured to display todays data, the
report will always run using the latest data because today is always changing. If the
report was configured to display yesterdays data and you ran the report at 9am, the
report would be processed again to reflect all of yesterdays information. If, however,
you ran the report again (before midnight when the date changed) and no new calls
were handled, Reporter would use the information stored in the report cache.
To run an existing report:
EITHER, Double-click the report in the report list.
OR, Select the report name in the report list and press ENTER.
OR, Right-click the report name and select Run.
To view a previously run report, right-click on the report name and select View Saved
Report.
NOTE: It takes longer to generate reports that were not previously run because
Reporter must gather and analyze data from Call Center Server.
If the default reports that are available in the report list do not meet your needs, you
can always create a new report and apply your own filters, statistics, etc.
To create a new report:
1. EITHER, Click New Report (
) in the toolbar.
OR, Select New Report from the main menu.
OR, Press ALT + N.

click OK, the report is automatically run.
General Tab
The General tab allows you to configure the
report name and category and choose a
template as a basis for your report. This
page contains the following fields:
Report Title: Enter a title to help you
identify the report. Then use the dropdown box to select a category. Your
options are Default Reports and My
Reports.
Report Category: Enter the name of
the category that you want to use for
storing the report. If you enter a new
category name, it is automatically created when you run the report. This
field defaults to My Reports.
REPORTER
Report Type: Select the template you want to use for your report. You can
choose from a number of Basic, Reporter, or Pro type report formats (see the
Users Manual for a list of templates). The Basic type reports are always available while the Reporter or Pro type reports require the Reporter and Reporter Pro
licenses (respectively). You can also select [Custom Report], which allows you to
create a report without any settings defaulted. It is not recommended, however,
that you create a custom report unless the available templates will not suit your
needs.
NOTE: Tooltips will display when your mouse is paused over a report format. These
tooltips provide a brief description of what the template includes. Also, when a new
report is added and you select a report format, the Call Statistics setting is automatically
defaulted appropriately. In addition, the Call Statistics setting is defaulted for existing
reports when Reporter is upgraded from a previous version.

Reporter
Date/Time Tab
The Date/Time tab allows you to configure
the range of dates over which the report
will be run.
NOTE: You can also change the date range
of a report using the Date Range button
(
) on the report caption.
This tab includes the following fields:
Date/Time Range: Select the desired
date range. You have the following
options:
Today: Runs the report for the current day.
Yesterday: Runs the report for yesterday.
This Week: Runs the report for this week. The first day of the week is taken
from the regional settings in Windows.
Last Week: Runs the report for the previous week. The first day of the week
is taken from the regional settings in Windows.
Last Month: Runs the report for the previous month.
From Start Date to End Date: Runs the report between the two dates specified on the right, starting from the From Date/Time, and ending at the To
Date/Time. For example, if you specify a From time of 8am and a To time of
5pm, the report will include all calls starting from the first day at 8am until
the last day at 5pm.
From Start Time to End Time: Runs the report between the two dates specified on the right, but only for the specified times on each day. For example,
if you specify a From time of 8am and a To time of 5pm, Reporter will
ignore any calls before 8am and after 5pm for every day that the report is
run.
Choose Range at Run Time: Displays the Date/Time page every time the
report is run. This allows you to customize the date/time range every time
you run the report.
87
REPORTER
This Month: Runs the report for the current month.
NOTE: The time is displayed in the hh:mm:ss format. You can either enter the
time in 12-hour or 24-hour format. If you enter the time in 24-hour format, Reporter
will automatically convert it to 12-hour format.
Depending on which date range you choose, the date/time selectors will change on
the right side. Note that when you choose From Start Date to End Date, the start
time only affects the start date, and the end time only affects the end date. For all
other date ranges, the start and end times are used to calculate the time period of
each specified day.
NOTE: You can also use the scroll bars or the ellipsis (...) button to select a particular time.
Weekdays: Select the days of the week that you want considered in the report.
By default, all days are checked. If you do not want a day included, click the day
to remove the check mark. For example, remove the check marks for Saturday
and Sunday to create a report that only displays data for weekdays.
Fields Tab
REPORTER
The Fields tab allows you to select

the fields that are included in your
report. You can add and remove
fields, change the order in which
they are displayed, and change the
sort order of each field. You can also
apply a group field to the report data
to create a Statistic report. This
allows you to choose statistics for
the report which are then summarized by the group field.
The list on the left displays the currently selected fields to be displayed. Each element of the list
contains a description of the field,
how the field is sorted (if applicable), the position of the field, and
the sort order (in brackets). You
have the following options:
88
Reporter
NOTE: If you are creating a summary report, the group field is highlighted in blue. The
group field must always be the first field in the report.

Sort Buttons: The button at the left of each item displays the current sort order
of this field, as described below.
BUTTON
DESCRIPTION
This field is not sorted.

This field is sorted in ascending order.
This field is sorted in descending order.
The number in brackets to the right of the field (e.g., [1]) indicates the sequence in
which fields are sorted. For example, if the list displays No/ID [1] and Calls In
[2], the list is first sorted based on the No/ID field and then sorted again based on
the Calls In field while maintaining the integrity of the first sort.
To change the sorting order, click the sort button of the field you want to sort and
make your selection from the menu.
Remove: Removes the selected statistic from the list. Because you cannot
remove the statistic as an option in the Add menu, you are not prompted for a
confirmation.
Move Up/Down: Moves the selected statistic up/down in the list. If you move
more than one statistic at a time, the selected statistics are kept in the same order
relative to each other.
NOTE: You can remove or move more than one statistic at a time. To select statistics that are displayed next to each other, hold down the SHIFT key while
selecting the first and last statistic you want to highlight. To select statistics that
are not listed consecutively, hold down the CTRL key while making your selection.
89
REPORTER
Add: Allows you to add a field by displaying a menu containing various statistics. Selecting a statistic automatically adds it to the end of the list, using the
defaults for that statistic (see the Users Manual for a list of possible statistics).
Group By: Displays possible group fields that you can apply to the report. Select
the field that you want to use (a check mark indicates the active group field). If
you select a group field that requires additional configuration, such as Start Time,
the Group Report By dialog, similar to the one below will appear.
You can edit these options for such group fields by double-clicking the field. By
choosing a group field, you automatically create a statistic report; so, any fields
that are currently selected that cannot be calculated in the statistic report are
removed.
Possible fields in this screen include the following:
Interval: Enter the interval value and then select the desired units. For example, to specify an interval of every hour, enter 1 as the interval value and
then select Hours as the unit.
REPORTER
Only use the time, not the date, when grouping: Enable this option to group
the statistics on time only, not the date. For example, a call that occurred at
8:47 on September 3 would be considered as a call at 8:47 and grouped as
8:30-9:00 if the interval was every 30 minutes. If you want to group on the
date, leave this option unchecked. For example, the same call would be
grouped as 8:30-9:00 on September 3.
Order By: Allows you to select the sort order for the currently selected field.
Depending on the current sort order, different menu options will appear that
allow you to either add this field as a new field to sort on or to replace one of the
existing fields that are being sorted. For every sort order, there is an ascending
and descending menu option. You can also choose Don't sort if you do not want
to sort this field.

Reporter
Filter Tab
The filter tab allows you to specify
certain calls to consider in the
report (e.g., calls to the Sales
Group or calls to mobile phones
that cost more than a certain
amount). The filter tab also allows
you to configure how statistics are
calculated, depending on the type
of report you are trying to create.
This page includes the following
fields:
Filter: Select a filter from the
drop-down list. If the desired
filter is not available, click
Add to create a new filter (see
page 103).
Calculate Statistics by Device: Select this option to consider all segments of a

call, whether transferred or not. For example, a call that is answered at reception
and transferred to Sales is considered two calls. Use this option when running
reports for calls to groups or devices.
NOTE: Call Segmentation must be enabled on Call Center Server to calculate
statistics by device. You can still choose this option if Call Segmentation is not
enabled, but calls will be calculated as if Calculate Statistics by Trunk Line was
selected.
Other Filter Options: Select any additional filter options you want to apply to
your report. The available options will change based on the template you selected
in the General page. Possible filter options include:
Only process inbound calls: Select this option to only consider inbound call
segments. If you apply a filter that filters outbound calls only, you will filter
out all calls.
91
REPORTER
Calculate Statistics by Trunk

Line: Select this option to only consider the call based on the trunk line where it
originated. If selected, the filter will not consider calls that are transferred
between different devices. For example, a call that is answered at reception and
then transferred to Sales is considered one call. Use this option when running
reports for calls into or out of the telephone system that are grouped by telephone
number or DID digits.
Only process outbound calls: Select this option to only consider outbound
call segments. If you apply a filter that filters inbound calls only, you will filter out all calls.
Only process answered calls: Select this option to only consider answered
call segments. If you apply a filter that filters unanswered calls only, you will
filter out all calls.
Only process calls that were never answered: Select this option to only consider the last call segment where the call was not answered (abandoned). If
you apply a filter that filters answered calls only, you will filter out all calls.
Only show un-returned abandoned calls (call lists only): Select this option to
convert a normal call list report into an un-returned abandoned call list
report. This report will only display abandoned calls that have not subsequently called again and that have not been called back and answered.
Only process trunk to trunk call transfers: Select this option to only consider
call segments that were transferred to or from an external number. For example, if a customer calls reception and is transferred to their account managers mobile phone, both the call from the customer and the call to the
account manager will show up as trunk-to-trunk call transfer segments.
REPORTER
Only process outbound calls that have been dialed incorrectly: Select this
option to only consider outbound calls that have not been dialed correctly. If
you also choose a filter that only considers inbound calls or answered calls,
you will filter out all calls. An incorrectly dialed call is an unanswered call
that did not contain enough digits to be a telephone number.
Only process outbound calls to services: Select this option to only consider
outbound calls to services (e.g., the operator, directory inquiries, etc.) If you
also choose a filter that only considers inbound calls, you will filter out all
calls.
92
Reporter
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous tab allows you
to configure several other report
settings, such as how the report
appears on screen and which tariff
is used when calculating call costs.
fields:
Tariff: Select the tariff that will
be used to calculate call costs.
A report can only use one tariff at a time when calculating
call costs. You can choose a
particular tariff for this report
to use or select the [Use
d e f a u l t ] opt ion. When the
default option is selected, the
report will use whichever tariff
is currently configured as the default tariff (see page 112). This tariff will also
override any tariffs assigned to individual trunk lines.
Always show the same record groups in the report: Select this option to display all rows of data, regardless of whether or not there are any statistics to display for that. For example, if extensions 200 and 202 have recently made calls
but extension 201 hasnt, 201 will still appear in the report even though there is
no data for it. If this option is not selected, 201 is removed from the report until it
experiences activity applicable to the report. When grouping by time, the report
will include all time periods in the given range. This can lead to a very large
report if you apply this option when summarizing statistics for every half hour
over three months because it will create 48 records a day for 90 days.
Keep the first field visible at all times: Select this option to lock the first field
of the report to the left edge of the report window. This keeps the first field visible as you scroll through the report.
93
REPORTER
NOTE: You can use this feature to compare tariffs by duplicating a report and
applying a different tariff to the duplicate. You will then have two copies of the
same report with different tariffs for each, allowing you to compare the cost of your
calls.
Use a saved copy of the report if the underlying data hasn't changed: Select
this option to have Reporter read from the report cache if the report was previously run and the information has not changed. By default, this option is checked
and all reports are saved to the report cache and reloaded when necessary. If you
disable this option, the report is always recalculated and never read from the
cache. It is not recommended that you leave this option enabled.
Highlight this report in the Report Manager: Select this option to display this
report with bolder text in the report list for easier identification.
Color this report in the Report Manager: Select this option to customize the
colors that the report list will use when displaying this report. Once enabled, click
Set Colors to display the Report Color dialog, as shown below.
While in this screen, you can configure the following fields:
REPORTER
Text Color: Select the color to use for the text. To use the default (black),
select Use default.
Background Color: Select the color to use for the background of the report.
To use the default (gray), select Use default.
A sample of your choices is displayed in the dialog. Try to choose colors that are
easily readable and that do not clash.
NOTE: When an item is selected in the report list, the colors are inverted (i.e., the
background color becomes the text color and vice versa).
Editing a Report
To edit a previously defined report, right-click on the report in either the report list or
the report window and select Properties. Then edit the information in the tabs as
described under Creating a New Report on page 85.
Once you have changed the report information, click OK to run the modified report.

Reporter
Deleting a Report
To delete a report, right-click on the report in the report list and select Delete. At the
prompt, click Yes to delete the report or click No to cancel the action.
NOTE: You cannot recover a deleted report. If you need the report once it has been
deleted, you must create it again.
Duplicating a Report
To create a duplicate of any report in the report list, right-click on the desired report
and select Duplicate. The duplicate report is given a slightly different name and
placed at the bottom of the category to ensure you can differentiate between the duplicate and the original.
NOTE: If you duplicate a report and then apply a different tariff to the duplicate, you
can easily compare the different call costs between two tariffs.
Copying a Reports Data

To copy report data for pasting into other applications, either click the Copy button
(
) in the toolbar or select Copy from the shortcut (right-click) menu in the reports
window.
Working with an Open Report

Once you have run your report, it is displayed in the reports window. In this window,
you can have multiple reports displayed, each easily accessible through the tabs at the
bottom of the screen.
While a report is open (i.e., its information is displayed in the reports window), you
can perform a variety of actions, such as sort the report, apply a new date range, etc.
Sorting a Report
You can sort a report in real-time when the report is open in list mode. Sorted fields
display an arrow to indicate the sorting order. An up arrow indicates ascending (A-Z)
order, and a down arrow indicates descending (Z-A) order.
To sort fields, click on the field header. Subsequent clicks on the header will toggle
the sort between ascending and descending order. You can also sort by more than one
field.
95
REPORTER
The report is copied in a tab-delimited format, which can be interpreted by most word
processor and spreadsheet applications. To access the report data in a particular format, use the Export option instead (see page 113).
If you click on a field while pressing the SHIFT key, the field is added to the current
sort order. For example, if you press SHIFT and click Start Time then Telephone
Number, the report will first sort based on the Start Time information and then sort
based on the Telephone Number. With SHIFT pressed, you can also continue to click
the same field to toggle between ascending and descending sort order.
NOTE: You can also change the sort order from the report properties (see page 88).
Applying a Date Range

To apply a date range, you can either use the Date/Time page of the Report Properties
dialog (see page 87) or use the Date Range button (

you have complex date criteria to apply, use the Report Properties dialog.
To apply a common date range (e.g., today, yesterday, this week, etc.), click the Date
Range (

select Print from the shortcut (right-click) or main menu. If you click the Print button
in the toolbar, the report is sent to the default printer.
Displaying the Call Summary

If you run a call list or statistic report, you can also display a call summary report. For
call lists, a call summary report displays several statistics to summarize the calls in
the call list. For a statistic report, a call summary shows the report totals that are normally displayed at the bottom of the report in list mode.
REPORTER
To display the call summary report, activate the report for which you want to run the
call summary and click the Call Summary button (
).
Once the call summary report is displayed, you can print or export it. If the report on
which the call summary report is based changes, the call summary report automatically updates.
NOTE: Call summary reports will not display in report list mode. In addition, because a
call summary report is not saved, once you close the report on which it is based, the call
summary report is no longer valid.

Displaying Call Details

In addition to displaying a call summary report, you can also run a call details report
based on a call list report. The call details report displays details about a particular
call in the report. You can also navigate between call segments while in this report.
This allows you to see the path of a call from cradle to grave.
To display the call detail window, either double-click a call record in the report window or right-click a call record and select Show Details.
Once the call details report is displayed, you can print or export it. If the report on

Once you have finished viewing the information, click Close to close the dialog.
FILTERS
In previous versions of Reporter, the filter was part of the report. In this version of
Reporter, filters have been separated from reports. You can now apply the same filter
to several reports, enabling you to have one or more filters that provide all of your filtering needs.
101
REPORTER
Filters are one of the most powerful features of Reporter. You can create filters to run
report for calls to certain extensions or groups or that rang for a certain time. You can
also filter calls based on their cost, direction, or the DID number dialed by the calling
party.

Applying Other Filter Options

As well as applying filters to a report, you can apply filter options within a reports
properties. These allow you to perform some simple filtering on the report without
having to alter the current filter or create a new filter.
To change the filter options, edit your report as normal and then change the filter
options in the Filter Tab of the Report Properties dialog as you see fit (see page 91).
REPORTER
NOTE: If you choose filter options that conflict with your current filter, you can effectively filter out all calls. For example, if you choose the Only process inbound calls filter option and then apply a filter that filters outbound calls, you will filter out every call,
and the report will be blank.

TARIFF MANAGER
A tariff provides Reporter with call charge information for a particular telephone
company. Unlike previous versions of Reporter, the latest version has support for multiple tariffs. This allows you to select a tariff for an individual report so that different
reports can use different tariffs.
In addition, you can create a tariff to process inbound call costs (e.g., for premium
rate or 1-800 numbers). This allows you to estimate the amount of revenue you will
earn from your premium rate lines or the amount that your 1-800 numbers will cost.
NOTE: The call costing functionality provided by Reporter is based on limited information provided by telephone companies. Also, carriers can update their tariffs at any time.
Accessing the Tariff Manager

The Tariff Manager lists the currently
available tariffs and provides access to
programming options. To display the
Tariff Manager, click the Tariffs button
(
) on the toolbar or press CTRL + T.
While in the Tariff Manager, you can
add, remove, edit, and copy tariffs, as
described below:

selected tariff. You will be prompted
for a confirmation before the tariff is removed.
Copy: Copies the current tariff and immediately includes it in the tariff list. The
name of the copied tariff is the same as the original tariff except it includes
(Copy) after the name. For example, a copy of the Premium tariff would result
in Premium (Copy).
Set as Default: Sets the highlighted tariff as the default. This tariff is applied to
all reports unless you specify a different tariff.
Click Close to exit the Tariff Manager.

2. Complete the appropriate fields in the following tabs:
General Tab
Charge Bands Tab
Dial Codes Tab
3. Click OK when finished or click Cancel to exit without saving changes. If you
click OK, the tariff is added to the list in the Tariff Manager.
General Tab
The General tab allows you to specify
tariff-wide options about the tariff that
you are creating or editing.
Tariff Name: Enter a unique name
for the tariff. Use a name that is easily identifiable and that indicates
what the tariff is.
REPORTER
Default Call Setup Charge: Enter

the default setup charge applied to a
call, regardless of how long the call
was connected. This default charge
is only applied if the particular call
destination does not have its own
call setup charge. Because many
telephone companies only apply
setup charges for certain call types
(e.g., service-based calls), this value
is normally 0. The value is measured in your default currency unit ($).
Default Minimum Call Charge: Enter the default minimum charge that is
applied to a call. This cost is applied to any call cost that is below this value. For
example, if this value is $5.00 and a call cost is calculated to be $3.50, the value
is changed to $5.00. This value is measured in your default currency unit ($).
Default Discount (%): Enter the default discount that is applied to a call. This
discount will only apply if the particular call destination does not have its own
discount level. Discounts are applied to the call cost at the end of the call cost
calculation.
106

Charge Bands Tab

The Charge Bands tab allows you to
specify the different charge bands used
by this tariff. For this to work properly,
you must specify a weeks worth of
charge bands without any gaps.
This screen displays the currently configured list of charge bands, detailing the
band name and the range of the charge
band. If a time range was configured, the
times are inclusive.
While in this screen, you can add, edit,
or remove charge bands using the following buttons:
Add: Adds another charge band to
the list and displays the Charge
Bands Dialog, as shown below. This
button is disabled if you already
have enough charge bands to span
one week.
REPORTER
To configure a charge band, complete the following fields:

Name: Enter a name that describes the charge band (e.g., off-peak).
Range: Specify the times when the charge band starts and ends. If a charge
band starts in the evening and ends in the morning, enter the times in that
order. You can also click the ellipsis (...) button to display a menu of common times.
107
NOTE: Times are not inclusive. For example, start/end times of 08:00:00 AM to
06:00:00 PM will consider all seconds from 8:00 AM to 5:59:59 PM.
Weekdays: Specify the days of the week to which this charge band applies.
The weekdays selected take precedence over the time period. For example, if
you configure 8:00PM to 8:00AM Monday-Friday, the charge band will end
on Friday at midnight and not count Saturday from midnight to 8:00AM.
Then click OK to save the charge band or Cancel to exit without saving changes.
You are returned to the Add/Edit Tariff dialog.
Edit: Allows you to edit the selected charge band.
Remove: Removes the selected charge band from the list. The charge band is
removed immediately. If you removed a charge band in error, you will need to
reconfigure all destinations on the Dial Codes tab with prices for the charge band.
Dial Codes Tab

The Dial Codes tab allows you to configure the charges used by different dial
codes. Dial codes that use the same
charging information can be grouped
together rather than entered several
times.
REPORTER
This screen displays the currently configured list of dial codes, detailing their
description and the per minute charges
for each charge band for the dial code.
There is also a default dial code ( [All
other dialcodes]) that handles all calls
where an appropriate dial code cannot
be found.
108
Reporter
While in this screen, you can add, edit, or remove dial codes using the following buttons:
Add: Adds another dial code to the list and displays the Call Charge Data dialog,
as shown below.
To configure the call charge data, complete the following fields:

Dial Codes: Enter a comma-separated list of dial codes to which this charge
information will apply (e.g., 480, 602, 619, etc.). You cannot have duplicate
dial codes in one tariff or in more than one tariff. If a particular tariff already
uses the specified dial code, an error is displayed.
Description: Enter a unique description for the set of dial codes. Use a
description that is easily identifiable.
109
REPORTER
NOTE: You can specify your local and regional dial codes in the Call Costing tab
of the Options dialog (see page 127). These dial codes are then used when you
create default local and regional cost groups. You cannot enter dial codes in the
tariff that would clash with the default local and regional dial codes specified in the
Options dialog.
Cost Group: Select the cost group (e.g., local, national, etc.) to which the list
of dial codes belongs. If you select the wrong value for this field, it will
affect filtering by cost group or creating a statistic report that groups by cost
group. You can create one cost group for each of the default cost groups,
which are surrounded by brackets in the drop-down list (e.g., [Local Calls]).
Because these defaults use the dial codes specified on the Call Costing tab of
the Options dialog (see page 127), you cannot assign dial codes to the
groups, but you can assign call cost information. You can also create as
many cost groups as required for the non-default cost groups. You must then
specify the dial codes that relate to that particular cost group and charging
structure.
Default Call Setup Charge: Enter the setup charge that is applied for connecting the call. To use the call charge associated with the tariff (specified on
the General Tab), leave this field as blank or select [Use default]. Any value
entered in this field will override the tariffs default call setup charge.
Default Minimum Call Charge: Enter the minimum cost that is applied to a
call to this destination. If the cost of the call is less than this value, the cost of
the call is changed to this value. To use the minimum call charge associated
with the tariff (specified on the General Tab), leave this field blank or select
[Use default]. Any value entered in this field will override the tariffs default
minimum call charge.
REPORTER
Default Discount (%): Enter the discount percentage applied to calls for this
dial code. This discount is applied after all other charges have been taken
into account. To use the discount associated with the tariff (specified on the
General Tab), leave this field blank or select [Use default]. Any value
entered in this field will override the tariffs default discount.
Charge List: Select the charge band to which the costs apply and then enter
them enter the updated price in the New value field. Click Update for your
change to take effect.
Then click OK to save the call charge data or click Cancel to exit without saving
changes. You are returned to the Add/Edit Tariff dialog.
Edit: Allows you to edit the selected dial code.
Remove: Removes the selected dial code from the list. The dial code is removed
immediately.
NOTE: You cannot remove the default dial code ([All other dialcodes]).

1. Open the Tariff Manager.
2. Highlight the tariff to edit and click Edit.
3. Make the necessary changes in the tabs described in Creating a Tariff.
4. Click OK when finished or click Cancel to exit without saving changes.
NOTE: If you intend to make several changes to a tariff, you may want to copy the tariff
first. That way, if you make a mistake, you can always revert to the original tariff.
Deleting a Tariff
To delete a tariff, open the Tariff Manager. Then select the filter that you want to
remove, and click Remove. At the prompt, click Yes to delete the tariff or No to cancel the action. If you click Yes, the tariff will be removed, and any reports that were
using that tariff revert to the default tariff.
NOTE: Once removed, the tariff cannot be retrieved. Also, you cannot remove the
default tariff.
To copy an existing tariff, open the Tariff Manager. Then select the tariff that you
wish to copy and click Copy. The tariff is copied, but the name is changed slightly to
ensure that the names remain unique.
NOTE: If you copy the default tariff, the original tariff remains the default.
Assigning Tariffs to Trunk Lines

For any report that uses the default tariff, you can force Reporter to use a particular
tariff if the call for which the cost is being calculated was on a particular trunk line.
Any trunks that you do not assign a tariff will use the default tariff. This allows you to
configure your reports most trunks use tariff A (default), but if a call is presented on
trunk line 20, it uses tariff B.

EXPORT, E-MAIL, PUBLISH, AND IMPORT

With Reporter V3.1, you can export reports to a variety of applications including
Excel, Word, applications that accept Comma-Separated Values (CSV), applications
that accept Hyper-Text Markup Language (HTML), and applications that use Wireless
Markup Language (WML). If you have the Auto Reporter license, you can also e-mail
reports to colleagues or publish reports to the Internet.
To make things easier, Reporter includes three separate wizards, each designed to stop
you through the process of exporting, e-mailing, or publishing reports. It also includes
an Import Wizard designed to assist you in importing data from previous versions of
Reporter or from Reporter Real-Time.
NOTE: If the application to which you are exporting accepts tab-delimited format, it
may be easier to use the Copy command instead.
Using the Export Wizard

The Export Wizard walks you through the process of configuring the application to
export your report in a specific format, such as CSV, Excel, etc.
To export a report using a format other than tab-delimited:
2. Follow the instructions as outlined in the Export Wizard, clicking Next to navigate through the screens. For details on each screen, see the following sections.
Welcome Page
The Welcome page of the Export Wizard allows you use any saved settings
from a previous export. If this is the first
time you have used the Export Wizard,
the only available option is [None]. If
you have used the Export Wizard
before, you can either select a saved setting or use [None] to create a new setting. Click Next to continue.

NOTE: You define the setting names when you apply advanced information.
Export Format Page

The next page allows you to choose the
format type for the export. The available
options are as follows:
Text File (CSV Format): Outputs
the report to a CSV (Comma-Separated Value) file. These files can be
read by Notepad, Microsoft Excel,
and other applications.
Microsoft
Excel
Spreadsheet
(XLS): Outputs the report to an
Excel 97/2000 spreadsheet. Microsoft Excel 97 or above must be installed on the
computer for this feature to function properly.
Microsoft Word Document (DOC): Outputs the report to a Word 97/2000 document. Microsoft Word 97 or above must be installed on the computer for this feature to function properly.
REPORTER
Web Page (HTML, ASP): Outputs the report as an HTML file for viewing in a
web browser or on Active Server Pages (ASP). When exporting to HTML, the
default web template is used unless you configure advanced settings. Exporting
to a web page is only supported if you have an Auto Reporter license.
WAP Page (WML): Outputs the report as a WML (Wireless Markup Language)
file for viewing on a mobile phone or PDA. When exporting to WML, the default
WML template is used, unless you configure advanced settings. Exporting to a
WML page is only supported if you have an Auto Reporter license.
Director Workforce Management Export: Outputs the report for importing into
Blue Pumpkin Softwares Director Essential or Director Enterprise Workforce Management software. Although this export format can be used with any
report, it is intended for the Director: Calls by Hunt Group report which outputs the last 15 minutes of statistics for each hunt group. Ideally, this format
should be scheduled every 15 minutes. If you configure Director Essential or
Director Enterprise to import the created file every 15 minutes, you can use
Director Essential/Enterprise to provide reports on workforce management.
The wizard automatically creates a default filename based on the name of the report
and the format you have chosen. You can, however, override the filename or use the
ellipsis () button to display the standard Windows Open File dialog so that you can
browse for a different filename.
114
Reporter
To customize some of the export settings or to save these settings for later use, select I
would like to configure Advanced Settings before clicking Next. The next page that
displays will vary depending on the file format you have chosen.
If you do not want to customize any of the settings, do not check I would like to configure Advanced Settings and click Finish. The report will immediately export to
the file name/location you specified in this screen.
Advanced Settings: CSV Page

If exporting to CSV and you opted to
configure the advanced settings, this
page will display to allow you to change
some of the CSV d efault set tings.
Although the default settings will work
with most CSV-capable applications,
some applications may require the data
in a particular format.
This screen contains the following fields:
Output field names as the first
line: Select this option to include the exported field names as the very first line of
the CSV export. If this option is not checked, the first line of the CSV export is
the first exported record of data. In general, you should enable this option unless
the destination application specifically does not want field names on the first line.
Output numeric values as numbers: Select this option to output numeric values
in the report as numbers. This is useful in performing calculations on the data, but
it can make viewing the data a little harder. For example, if you exported a record
containing a call duration of five minutes 30 seconds, this option would output
the value as 330 (5 minutes x 60 seconds = 300 seconds + 30 seconds = 330 seconds).
Output numeric values as text and numbers: Select this option to output
numeric values in the report first as formatted text and then in another column as
the actual number. This means that every numeric field in your report will contain
two columns. This option allows you to still view the CSV export easily because
the text is available and perform calculations on the export because the numeric
values are available.
115
REPORTER
Output numeric values as formatted text: Select this option to output numeric
values in the report as formatted text as it would appear in the report window.
This is useful if you want the CSV file for text processing. However, this option
is not recommended if you want to perform calculations on the data. For example, if you exported a record containing a call duration of five minutes 30 seconds, this option would output the value as 00:05:30.
Field Separator: Select or enter the character used to separate the fields in the
CSV file. Although CSV files get their name because the values are separated by
commas, some applications require a different separating character. If your character cannot be typed, enter the ASCII character value surrounded by square
brackets (e.g., [24] for ASCII value 24, which is the same as CTRL X).
Text Delimiter: Select or enter the character to use in the CSV file that surrounds
any text. Usually, double quotes are used to denote text fields in a CSV file, but
you can change this to be any character or no character. If your character cannot
be typed, enter the ASCII character value surrounded by square brackets (e.g.,
[24] for ASCII value 24, which is the same as CTRL X).
NOTE: It is not recommended that you use ASCII values as separators or delimiters in
your CSV files. This option is provided as an advanced feature for those experienced
users who may require it. During everyday use, however, there is little reason to change
the separators and delimiters from those available in the list.
Click Next to advance to the next page.

Reporter
Insert | Output Filename: Select this option to insert the [Filename] placeholder into the command line rather than having to type the actual filename
of the exported file. This placeholder is expanded at export time to the full
path of the exported file. This allows you to save your command line settings
and use them for different exports.
Insert | Output Filename (No Extension): Select this option to insert the
[FilenameNoExt] placeholder, which expands at export time to the full path
of the exported file without an extension. For example, if your export file
was called C:\My Export.csv, this setting would return C:\My
Export. This is useful when you are passing the exported file to an application that converts the file into some other format.
Insert | Report Name: Select this option to insert the name of the exported
report. It inserts the [ReportName] placeholder, which expands at export
time to the name of the report.
Installed Applications: Select the application that you want to open with the
command line. The menu will list the applications that installation program
detected on your computer. See Opening an Export with Installed Applications on page 117 for further information.
Saved Settings: Enter a name for your settings if you want to save them for later

2. Follow the instructions as outlined in the Publish Wizard, clicking Next to navigate through the screens. For details on each screen, see the following sections.
NOTE: You need a destination site for publishing the report. Because creating a site
can require extensive IT experience, it is recommended that you create a site and test it
before publishing.
Welcome Page
The Welcome page of the Publish
Wizard allows you use any saved
settings from a previous publish. If
this is the first time you have used
the Publish Wizard, the only available option is [None]. If you have
used the Publish Wizard before,
you can either select a saved setting or use [None] to create a new
setting. Click Next to continue.
REPORTER
NOTE: You define the setting names at the end of the wizard.
Site Page
When publishing a report, you
must choose the site where the file
will be published.
Either select an existing site from
the drop-down list or click Add to
create a new site (see page 118 for
instructions).
The site that you choose will affect
where your data is published and
which template is used to convert
your report to HTML or WML.
Click Next to continue.
119
NOTE: If you do not have a valid site name entered, an error occurs, and you cannot
continue.
Filename Page
The Filename page allows you to
specify a destination filename for
your report.
Either enter a filename (no path) or
click the ellipsis () button to
invoke the standard Windows File
Open dialog. Once you have a filename entered, click Next.
Many web servers do not support
certain characters in filenames. For
this reason, Reporter converts capital letters to lowercase, converts
spaces to underscores, and removes certain non-alphanumeric characters which are
not supported.
REPORTER
NOTE: Some of the templates provided with Reporter will create several files when
you publish a report. This is often used when publishing to WML (WAP) files because
most mobile devices have very little memory and cannot display large pages. Because
of this, such templates export several files, with each file containing a small number of
records. This leads to a larger number of published files. This is one reason why it is a
good idea for each site to be published to its own folder, even when published to the
same server.
120
Reporter
Ready to Publish Page

In the Ready to Publish page, you
can save your publish settings for
later use. Enter a name for the settings or select an existing setting to
overwrite. The next time that you
use the Publish Wizard, you can
choose from a set of saved settings.
Click Finish. Your reports are converted to HTML or WML and then
published to your web site. If you
have an external web site, you
should ensure that you can connect to the Internet via your local area network or that
your modem is configured for automatically dialing the Internet with your appropriate
configuration.
Using the Import Wizard

To assist you in the day-to-day operation of Reporter, you can import other users
reports, call charge data, filters, and previous versions of call charges and reports.
To start an import, choose the Import option from the main menu. Then configure the
options as outlined in the Import Wizard. For details about each page, see the following sections.

to import your call
charge data from previous versions of Reporter
(CALLCOST.DAT file).
Version 2.5 Reports:
Select this option to import your report data from previous versions of Reporter

Account Codes Tab

The Account Codes page allows you
to summarize historic calls by the
account code. It will automatically do
this for four account codes, enabling
you to graph the number of times
these account codes were entered.
These account codes are used in the
Code 1, 2, 3, or 4 statistics.
NOTE: To summarize more than four
account codes, you should filter by
account code instead.
124
Reporter

Account Code #1 to #4: Enter each of the four account codes that you want to
summarize (one per field). By default, the account codes are set to 666, 777, 888,
and 999.
Account Code Caption #1 to #4: Each account code you are summarizing can
have a caption, which is displayed by the tile when viewing this statistic. The
caption you enter should uniquely identify the type of summarized account code.
By default, the captions are set to Code 1, Code 2, Code 3, and Code 4.
Service Levels Tab

The Service Levels page allows you
to set levels for summarizing ring
times and specify a service level a
time frame indicating how quickly
calls should be answered (e.g., within
ten seconds or less).
fields:
Service Level: Use this field to set the time frame within which all calls should
be answered. This is used to calculate the % Service Level statistic the percentage of calls answered within the service level time.
NOTE: All times on this page can either be entered as ?h ?m ?s or as hh:mm:ss.
Valid examples include 30s or 00:30 for 30 seconds, 1m 15s or 01:15 for 1 minute
15 seconds, etc.
125
REPORTER
Answer Times: Use the Duration #1 to #6 fields to set the ring

times to summarize. For each
ring time, four statistics will be
generated: number of calls
answered within this time, percentage of calls answered within
this time, number of calls abandoned within this time, and percentage of calls
abandoned within this time.
Durations Tab
The Durations tab allows you to program the Call Rate Period and other
timers that affect how statistics are calculated.
fields:
Call Rate Period: Enter the time
period used to calculate the number of calls to include in the following Call Rate statistics:
Inbound Call Rate, Outbound Call
Rate, Abandoned Call Rate, and
% Service Level. The Call Rate
statistics are the number of a certain type of call that occurred
within the last number of minutes. The defaults to half an hour (30 minutes).
Short Call Level: Enter the time period used to determine which calls are short
calls and, therefore, less likely to be business-generating calls. The default is 20
seconds.
NOTE: The Call Rate Period and Short Call Level times can either be entered as ?h
REPORTER
?m ?s or as hh:mm:ss. Valid examples include 30s or 00:30 for 30 seconds, 1m

15s or 01:15 for 1 minute 15 seconds, etc.
Quick Abandoned Calls: Select Ignore abandoned calls that rang for less
than and enter the number of seconds that a call must ring before it is not
ignored. When enabled and a value is set, Reporter will not calculate calls that
were abandoned within n seconds. For example, if you enter 3, any calls that
are abandoned within three seconds are considered answered, not abandoned.
This feature allows you to ignore calls that were abandoned very quickly. Normally, an abandoned call reduces your service level because it is counted as a call
that was not answered within the specified time. With this option enabled, however, calls that rang for less than the Quick Abandoned Time are considered as
answered when calculating the service level.
NOTE: This feature only affects the service level statistics. No other statistics are
altered.
126
Reporter
Call Costing Tab

The Call Costing page allows you to
configure the local dial codes for your
area. Enter a comma-separated list of
area codes that are considered local.
The codes entered here cannot match
any codes included in a tariff (see
page 108); otherwise, an error will
occur.
NOTE: The Telephone 2000 fields
are available only in the UK and are
disabled.
Normally, local call charge records include numbers 2-9, and other numbers are categorized into different groups, each with its own call charge record. The dial code list
for each record, which does not include the long distance dial prefix (see below), typically needs to contain a list of area codes for each of the numbers (i.e., the first three
digits).
NOTE: NEVER include the long distance code 1 because Server automatically strips
this digit off of telephone numbers before they end up in a trunk call record.
ALSO: When Reporter prompts for Local Dial Codes at start up, the defaults are 2-9,
211, 311, 511, 811, 1211, 1311, 1511, and 1811. It is recommended that you ADD your
local area codes to this list instead of replacing them.
127
REPORTER
When Reporter calculates the cost for

a particular call, it attempts to match
the telephone number dialed to a dial code within the Dial Code Call Charge list in
the Call Charges window (see page 109). The call charges, as programmed in the call
charge record containing the matched dial code, are then used to calculate the call cost
of the corresponding call. A telephone number is matched against the call charge
record that contains the longest matching dial code (e.g., 4809619000 is matched
against the call charge record containing 480961 instead of one containing 480).
If the telephone number is not matched within the Dial Code Call Charge list, the call
charges depicted by the [All Others] call charge record are assumed instead.
Erlang B/C Tab

The Erlang B/C page allows you to
configure various parameters used by
the Erlang calculations in Reporter.
These calculations are used to determine the Trunks Required and Agents
Required statistics.
fields:
Trunks Required Statistic:
Enter the acceptable percentage
of incoming calls that may be
rejected because no trunk lines
are available. This value is used
with Erlang B to determine the
number of trunk lines that are
required to ensure this percentage is not exceeded.
Agents Required Statistic: Enter the minimum percentage of calls that should
be answered within the service level period. This value is used with Erlang C to
determine the number of agents that are needed to ensure this service level percentage is met.
Licensing Tab
REPORTER
The Licensing tab allows you to select

the license that is used when connecting to the Call Center Suite Server. If
you select an invalid license, the
Server will deny the connection. You

Reporter Real-Time
Reporter Real-Time (or Reporter RT) is an application that shows real-time external
call statistics, allowing you to see real-time details against all or selected call criteria
on the telephone system. Not only will it show the current extension, agent, and trunk
activity, it will include detailed information such as the callers identity, DID number
used, etc. With Reporter Real-Time, you can tell who is involved in a call (including
the distant end), how long the call took to answer, and how long the call has been in
progress. You can also summarize information across the telephone system or by
extensions, agents, or trunks. You can filter information, enabling you to summarize
information based on group, DID number, telephone number, etc. You can also add a
Direct Station Selection (StationViewer) tile, that allows you to monitor the current
call activity of extensions and/or agents.

Reporter Real-Time
Node Status
The node status dialog provides a continually updated view of the state of all nodes in
a multi-node telephone switch environment. Each node is displayed as a single line
consisting of a status icon, node number, node description and status text.
When the telephone system is started, each of the nodes is placed in a list. Server processes these nodes sequentially. Nodes that are waiting to be initialized have a Waiting for Initialization status associated with them. As Sever processes each node
individually, the node being processed is moved to the Initializing state. Once initialized, the node is considered active. If the number of licences that are available is less
than the number of nodes in the system, those nodes that exceed the license limit are
marked as'Unlicensed.
NOTE: The node status dialog is only available when Reporter Real-Time is running in
conjunction with the Inter-Tel telephone system and Server is connected through the
CT Gateway application to a system of networked telephone system nodes. Additionally, Server also needs to be appropriately licensed for the number of telephone system
nodes, as depicted by the Number of Nodes license.
To access information on node status, from the main toolbar, click the Node Status
icon ( ).
The following status icons are available for nodes.
Icon
Description
Disabled. This status is displayed if the node that the status icon depicts, is disabled.
Waiting for Initialization. This status is displayed if the node that the status icon
depicts is waiting for initialization. The node is in the list of nodes that is to be
processed by Server.
Active. This status is displayed if the node that the status icon depicts is active.
Unlicensed. This status is displayed if the node that the status icon depicts is
unlicensed. Nodes are only marked as being unlicensed if the number of nodes
on the system is greater than the number of node licenses that are available.
147
REPORTER
REAL-TIME
Initializing. This status is displayed if the node that the status icon depicts is
being initialized. Server is currently processing the node.
TILES
The basic building block of Reporter Real-Time is the tile. There are several types of
tiles, each of which can display information in different ways. Based on the type of
information you want to see, you should choose the appropriate type of tile, as
explained in this section.
Calls Waiting Tile

Before setting up a tile that displays Calls Waiting, you should consider the following:
Filtering: The filter should be set up for the hut group number as the device first
rung. Do not put any extensions or agents in the General tab if you are looking
for Calls Waiting on a hunt group. Putting the hunt group number in the ACD
Hunt Groups tab is not enough; the hunt group must still be in the Call First Rang
At Extension/Group field on the Call Route Tab.
Call Segmentation: If Call Segmentation is disabled, there can only be one
device that is considered first rung. Therefore, if a call is recalled to a different
hunt group, Calls Waiting would show 0 for the second hunt group because the
first hunt group is considered first rung. If Call Segmentation is enabled, each
call segment has a corresponding device as the device that first rang and is, therefore, not affected.
Announcements/Overflows: When a call is ringing for a hunt group, Calls Waiting and/or All Calls Ringing will decrease during Announcement and Overflow
messages unless the application numbers and Voice Mail devices are entered in
the Extensions section of Data Manager in Server. Each of these must also have
the Yes, this device is treated as not yet answered and Yes, this device is treated
as not yet rung flags enabled.
Deskboard Tiles
REPORTER
REAL-TIME
Deskboard tiles are used to display a single call summary statistic. If you only want to see information for a
particular set of extensions, such as a particular group
of agents, you can add a filter to the tile. The statistic
can also have an associated alarm, which will notify
you when the statistic falls within a certain range.
148
Reporter Real-Time
Multi Stat Tiles

Multi Stat tiles are similar to Deskboard
tiles, but they display several call summary statistics in a list format. Applying a
filter to this tile affects all statistics on the
tile, allowing you to view similar statistics
for a given filter, such as a group of
agents. Each statistic can have an associated alarm, which will notify you when the
statistic falls within a certain range.
Graph (Multi Stat) Tiles

This graph tile displays several
similar statistics on one graph.
This data can be graphed as
either a bar, column, or pie
chart with various other options.
Graph Over Time Tiles
REPORTER
REAL-TIME
This graph tile displays a single

statistic over a period of time.
The statistic can also be summarized by a particular time period
(e.g., every 15 minutes) to give
an indication of telephone activity over time.
149
Graph by Device Tiles

This graph tile displays a single
statistic for every device of a
particular type (e.g., agents,
extensions, etc.). This allows
you to visually compare a particular statistic, such as total talk
time, against a group of agents.
StationViewer Tiles
StationViewer tiles display StationViewer buttons that indicate
the current status of an extension or agent. Each button contains
a lamp (bulb) and an icon that depicts the state of the device. The
device extension and description (usually the username) is also
displayed, allowing you to easily identify who is busy, idle, etc.
StationViewer list tiles are not filtered like other tile types.
NOTE: When you add a StationViewer tile, it is empty. You must
populate the tile with extensions or agents as described on
page 167.
The lamp indicators are configurable, allowing you to choose the desired color for
busy, DND, idle, etc. (see page 167). The icons, however, are not configurable and
differ for extensions and agents, as indicated in the following table.

In addition to providing lamp indicators and icons,

StationViewer buttons display a tooltip when you
pause the mouse pointer over a button. This tooltip
provides the following information:
Agent: (Available in agent mode only) Displays
the name or ID of the agent.
Device: Indicates the extension number of the device.
Description: (Available in extension mode only) Displays the description for that
device as programmed in the phone system. This is usually the username.
Current Status: (Available in agent mode only) Displays the current status of the
agent (e.g., free, busy, wrapup, logged out, etc.).
On call to: Displays the Caller ID name or number of the caller to which the StationViewer extension is currently connected. For IC calls, this is the description
(username) of the caller.
DND: Indicates the DND status. If DND is enabled, the DND message is displayed (e.g., GONE HOME).
FWD: Indicates the forwarding status of the phone. If the phone is forwarded, the
type of forward is displayed (e.g., ALL CALLS).
NOTE: You can also use the StationViewer buttons to handle calls associated with the
StationViewer extensions/agents (see the Users Manual for details).
Extension List Tile
REPORTER
REAL-TIME
This tile displays various statistics per extension

using either icons or a report list. In addition to displaying information, such as the Caller ID of the call
on the extension, the tile can display summary information for each extension, such as total talk time,
calls handled, etc. The list can also have an associated alarm, which will notify you when calls on an
extension have been ringing for longer than a specified period.
This tile uses a color scheme to indicate the status of
calls. For example, the background color of each list
item denotes whether the call active on the extension
is inbound or outbound, while the foreground color
of each item denotes whether the call is answered,
ringing, or on hold.
151
The images in the Status field change, depending on the status of the call that is active
at the extension, as described in the following table.

WORKING WITH FILTERS

The power of the Reporter Real-Time comes from its ability to limit statistics to only
certain types of calls (e.g., inbound only, calls for a specific DID number or list of
extensions, etc.). This is achieved by using filters.
Each tile (except a StationViewer tile) can have a filter associated with it, which is the
All Calls filter by default. This is the only filter that cannot be edited or removed.
You can create as many filters as you require, limited only by memory, and apply filters to none, one, or many tiles. Filters can also be edited after being created and will
immediately reflect changes in any tiles using the modified filter.
The filters used in Reporter Real-Time are configured the same way in RealViewer, as

OVERVIEW
This guide describes how to install and configure the Intelligent Router software
application. It also includes application-specific information, including the supported
platforms and the minimum recommended hardware specifications. Finally, example
scenarios are provided to give you an idea of how you can use Intelligent Router to
perform common tasks.
NOTE: Before you install Intelligent Router, please ensure that Server is installed and
configured correctly on the CTI Server computer.
ALSO: Intelligent Router requires the Call Segmentation feature. For information on
enabling this feature, see the Server chapter of the Users Manual.
ABOUT INTELLIGENT ROUTER

The Intelligent Router is a call routing program that uses Rules, Conditions, and
Actions to perform its functions, as illustrated below.
Process Rule
(e.g., Trunk Call
Terminated)
Condition
1
Satisfied?
Condition
2
Satisfied?
No
Do Not Execute
Action
Yes
Condition
3
Satisfied?
Yes
No
Execute
Action
187
INTELLIGENT
ROUTER
No
Yes
In this example, the Process Rule is evaluated based on three separate Conditions. If
all Conditions are met, the Action is executed (i.e., the trunk call is terminated). If a
Condition is not met, the Action is not executed (i.e., the trunk call remains connected).
Rules
A Rule defines how its associated conditions are evaluated, which determines whether
or not the related action is executed. When defining rules, you can select a specific
rule type (e.g., trunk call routing, extension/agent DND changed, etc.), the type of
device affected (i.e., extension/group or agent ID), and other various parameters.
Once the rule is programmed, you can assign conditions that must be met before the
desired action is executed.
Conditions
Conditions provide specific and flexible call routing capabilities. Each condition is a
programmed parameter that must be met before an Action is fired. For detailed call
routing, you can assign multiple Conditions to the same Rule or use Placeholders to
further define the Condition.
Actions
Actions are executed when a Rule is evaluated and all Conditions are met. With Intelligent Router, you can select from a variety of actions, including Answer Call, Route
Call, Release, etc. You can also assign Placeholders to an Action to ensure the operation is based on current information (e.g., time, calls in queue, etc.).
Placeholders
Intelligent Router includes Placeholders, which allow you to assign additional parameters to a Condition or Action. For example, you can route a call based on the fields
assigned in the Telephone Import screen in Server. You can also route calls based on
different statistics, including the current time, number of calls, etc.

ROUTER
For example, you can route a call to a different extension based on the incoming number dialed using the telephone import data programmed in Server. Suppose that Field
6 in the Server contains the extension number of the agent that is assigned to a particular customer. To ensure customer calls are routed to their assigned agent, use the
Field 6 placeholder (under Call Details) in the Destination field of the Action tab.
There are four types of placeholders:
Trunk Based
Extension Based
Agent Based
Call Summary
212
Intelligent Router
To assign a Placeholder to an Action or Condition:

1. Select the appropriate tab (i.e., Action or Condition) in the Rule Manager.
2. Click the ellipsis button (
), and choose a Placeholder from the menu(s).
NOTE: The Placeholder options change depending on the Rule type selected.
Editing Rules
To edit a Rule:
1. Select Edit Rule from the shortcut (right-click) menu, or double-click on the
desired Rule. If in the Rule Manager screen, highlight the Rule and click Edit.
The Edit Rule screen is displayed.
3. Click OK when finished, or click Cancel or Close to exit without saving
changes. If you edited a Rule using the Rule Manager, you are returned to the
Rule Manager screen. If you edited a Rule using any other option (e.g., shortcut
menu), you are returned to the main screen.
Deleting Rules
To delete a Rule:
1. Select Delete Rule from the shortcut (right-click) menu. If in the Rule Manager
screen, highlight the Rule and click Remove.
2. At the prompt, click Yes to delete the Rule or No to cancel the action.
NOTE: Deleting a Rule cannot be undone.
You can also delete all rules in a Rule List by clicking Remove All in the Rule Manager screen. Because you cannot retrieve a Rule once it is deleted, you are prompted
for a confirmation.
Enabling/Disabling Rules
To enable/disable a Rule, select Disable/Enable this Rule from the shortcut menu
(right-click). The icon in the Rule List tile will change depending on your selection
(see page 215 for more information about the Rule List tile).
213
INTELLIGENT
ROUTER
Because you may not want to continuously evaluate every Rule, Intelligent Router
has an enable/disable function. This allows you to disable a Rule without having to
permanently delete it.
FILTERS
Intelligent Reporter can also limit statistics to only certain types of calls (e.g., inbound
only, calls for a specific DID number or list of extensions, etc.). This is achieved with
filters, which are only applied to the Trunk List and Multi-Stat tiles. By default, the
All Calls filter, which cannot be edited or removed, is assigned to both of these
tiles.
Using the Filter Manager, you can create as many filters as you require, limited only
by memory. You can also edit filters once they are created, as described in the following sections.
Filter Manager
The Filter Manager lists the currently available filters and provides access to programming options.
To display the Filter Manager, click the Filter Manager button ( ) on the toolbar or
press CTRL + F. Or, select Filter Manager
from the main menu ( ).
While in the Filter Manager screen, you can
add, remove, edit, and copy filters using the
buttons described below:
Add: Displays the Add Filter dialog so
you can create a new filter (see
page 52).
Edit: Displays the Edit Filter dialog so
you can edit the selected filter (see
page 46). (You can also access the Edit Filter dialog box by double-clicking on
the filter you want to edit).
Remove: Removes the currently selected filter. You are prompted for a confirmation before the filter is removed (see page 46).

TILES
The Intelligent Router can display up to four tiles at a time: Rule List tile, Event List
tile, Trunk List tile, and a Multi-Stat tile. If viewing two tiles at a time, the Rule List
and Event List tiles are shown. All four tiles are displayed when the four-tile mode is
selected (see page 198 for more information on display modes). Each of the available
tiles and their associated options are described in this section.
Rule List Tile

The Rule List tile displays all of the currently programmed Rules (see page 203 for
information on programming Rules) and indicates whether the Rule is enabled or disabled. The title of this tile (e.g., All Rule Types) describes which rules are currently
displayed. The default is All Rule Types, but you can select what Rule types you want
displayed, as described on page 220.
The icons to the left of the Rules depict whether the Rule is currently enabled or disabled, as described in the following table.
Icon

215
Fields
Using the Properties option in the shortcut menu (see page 196), you can select the
fields you want displayed in the Rule List tile. You can also sort the fields and change
the order in which they are displayed.
To configure the fields displayed in the Rule List tile:
1. Select Properties from the shortcut menu
(right-click). The properties dialog box is
displayed.
2. Select the Fields tab. The list on the left
displays the currently selected fields to be
displayed. Each element of the list contains a description of the field, how the
field is sorted (if applicable), the position
of the field, and the sort order (in brackets). You have the following options:
Sort Buttons: The button at the left of

each item displays the current sort
order of this field, as described below.
BUTTON
DESCRIPTION
This field is not sorted.

This field is sorted in ascending order.
This field is sorted in descending order.
NOTE: The number in brackets to the right of the field (e.g., [1]) indicates the
sequence in which fields are sorted. For example, if the list displays Category [1] and
Action [2], the list is first sorted based on the Category field and then sorted again
based on the Action field while maintaining the integrity of the first sort.
INTELLIGENT
ROUTER
To change the sorting order, select the sort button of the field you want to
sort, and make your selection from the menu.
216
Add: Allows you to add a field by displaying a menu containing groups of

parameters. When you select a group, a submenu displays all parameters of
that type. Selecting a parameter automatically adds it to the end of the list,
using the system defaults.
Intelligent Router
Remove: Removes the selected parameter from the list. Because you cannot
permanently remove the parameter, you are not prompted for a confirmation.
Move Up/Down: Moves the selected parameter up/down in the list. If you
move more than one parameter at a time, the selected parameters are kept in
the same order relative to each other.
NOTE: You can remove or move more than one field at a time. To select fields that are
displayed next to each other, hold down the SHIFT key while selecting the first and last
field you want to highlight. To select fields that are not listed consecutively, hold down
the CTRL key while making your selection.
3. Click OK to save your settings, or click Cancel to exit without saving changes.
Categories
You can also change and modify the categories that are displayed in the Rule List tile.
This allows you to program the way the information in the tile is displayed so that you
can easily find the data you want.
To configure the categories for the Rule List tile:
1. Select Properties from the shortcut menu
(right-click).
NOTE: You can also modify categories while in
the General tab of the Add/Edit Rule dialog box

2. Select the Categories tab. The categories

currently displayed in the Rule List tile are
listed. You have the following options:
Add New: Allows you to add and
configure a new category to display in
the tile (see page 218 for programming instructions).
Edit: Allows you to edit the selected category (see page 218).
Remove: Removes the highlighted category (see page 219). Because you
cannot retrieve the category, you are prompted for a confirmation.
Remove All: Removes all of the categories listed. Because you cannot
retrieve the categories, you are prompted for a confirmation.
NOTE: Removing categories cannot be undone.

Trunk List Tile

This tile displays various statistics per trunk using either icons or a report list. In addition to displaying information, such as the Caller ID of a call on the trunk, the tile can
display summary information for each trunk, such as calls handled, average ring time,
etc. The list can also have an associated alarm, which will notify you when calls on a
trunk have been ringing for longer than a specified period.
This tile uses a color scheme to indicate the status of calls. For example, the background color of each list item denotes whether the call active on the trunk line is
inbound or outbound, while the foreground color of each item denotes whether the
call is answered, ringing, or on hold.
