5. DASHBOARD.

The Dashboard is the first thing that you see when you log in to the Business Portal. The top half works as your personal call centre, and shows you at a glance if you have any voicemails, plus the number, date and time of any missed, received or dialled calls. Beneath that is a section to analyse these calls in more detail, and finally there are six shortcuts to some of the most popular features of the Portal.

5.2 Call Logs.

Graphical View and Comparison

Once you have chosen your call log criteria, click the search button to see an interactive graph of the data.

See results for either the total minutes or the number of calls within your chosen time period. The graph can show one set of data over another so you can compare current figures with previous results, helping you to analyse patterns and trends. Move the cursor over key points to bring up windows with more detailed information.

5.1 Click to Dial.

Click-to-Dial

Hang up

5. DASHBOARD.

The green telephone symbol next to the numbers is the ‘Click to Dial’ feature. Click on the icon and your device will ring; when you answer it, it will start connecting you to the other party. To hang up, click the red telephone icon next to the number you dialled.

This area of the Dashboard lets you view and analyse information on all calls, comparing and tracking them. You can use this to get a broad overview of trends and patterns, or you can be more specific and zoom in to get detailed data or view headline information at a glance.

Set your criteria to include the type of user, the type of call, whether the call is incoming or outgoing and whether it was answered or not. Then set the date range, either by using the pre-programmed options or by choosing your own using the ‘custom’ section.

The Top 10 view shows you the ten highest results based on your category selection. For example, you would be able to see the ten most frequent numbers involved in calls across your whole company, individual users or groups.

The List view shows you every call relevant to your search result, displaying the phone numbers, timings and status of each one.

The Type view lets you compare the different types of calls at a glance:

• Off-Net versus On-Net

• Inbound versus Outbound

• Answered versus Unanswered

It also shows you a percentage split of total minutes and total calls for each of these three measures.

The View Buttons at the bottom of the screen let you choose between the following:

5. DASHBOARD.

The export tool allows you to export the current data shown into to a CSV file. Click the Export button and this will automatically download all of the data in the current view in comma-separated values format.

• Call Forward Always This will automatically redirect all your incoming calls to another phone.

• Remote Office Activate this feature to give the impression that you are in the office, wherever

you are working. Type in the phone number of your new location and it will redirect all incoming calls to you and let you deal with them exactly as if you were in your usual place of work. You can also use it with the Portal’s Click-to-Dial feature to make phone calls that display your normal outbound caller ID.

• Do Not Disturb This lets you set your status as unavailable. All calls to your line are intercepted

and processed as if you are busy and cannot take the calls.

• CLI Display This is your ‘calling line identity’ for outgoing calls, so if you turn it off your phone

number won’t come up when you make a call.

• Sim Ring The Simultaneous Ring feature lets multiple devices alert you at the same time

when you are getting an incoming call, up to a maximum of ten phones.

• Call Director This is a combination of the Simultaneous Ring and Remote Office features. The

Call Director lets you set one or more phone numbers as extensions to your account. These numbers are then all alerted for inbound calls. You can dial a Call Director portal from these other numbers and follow the instructions to make a call that will show your normal outbound Caller ID number to whoever you are phoning.

Call Director supersedes the Simultaneous Ring feature and both features should not be on at the same time.

5.3 Quick Feature Management.

The third part of the Dashboard is the Quick Feature Management, which has shortcuts to the most commonly used features.

This tab shows you all the devices associated with your account, including IP Phones, Smart Phones, Desktop clients etc. These all share the same line so incoming calls will ring on all of them at the same time and outbound calls can be made from any one of them.
