Using the portal

Home


The home screen presents menu options in both a top menu bar and large icons.  Language options can be selected using the flag icon.

 

Licenses


Within Licenses, the user has the option to view a License Summary dashboard.  The ‘License Summary’ is a dashboard displaying key metrics on the number of tenants and end points provisioned, those added/deactivated this month and details of licenses allocated.

 

 In the right hand-corner you will see a pie chart which will show the percentage of Company’s established on the three core reporting packs.The following statistics are available:

 

In the top-half, Reseller Summary, you can see similar information as displayed in the top half of the page:

 


In the bottom-half, Product Summary, you can see a breakdown of the same information listed above, but against the 3 product types.

Customers

If you click on the View Customers button you will be presented with the following screen:

 

Go to ‘View Customer’ to view a list of customers, edit customer details or search for a specific customer. The list of customers displays the customer reference, name, date created, product and status (active).

Customers can be deleted or activated from this table, logins can be viewed and customer details can be edited.

By clicking edit, full details appear including contact details, system details and license information.  License quantities can be amended (upgraded, downgraded or new modules added) and saved.


This is a summary page of the Companies you have set-up with Call Analytics along with the package they have taken and their activation status.  If you click on the View button you will be presented with the following screens which just provides more granular detail.

 

Configuration

Once Call Analytics is complete, a New Customer Set Up email, followed by a Password Separate email, is sent to the nominated Company administrators, as noted on the order form.  This email will guide them to the WHC Call Analytics application portal where they can login using their supplied credentials. 

Once in the portal, the administrator should select Configuration to set-up more Users, where they have requested additional admin accounts.  If they are the only one using the portal then this will not be necessary.


Configuration is then divided into:

User

This section allows users to add, edit or delete extensions, divisions, departments, cost centres, sites and to upload a directory. 

Extensions are automatically detected when a call is made to or from an extension. Once they are detected, the extensions from the phone system synchronise with the software, so there is no need to manually add usernames, cost centres, departments and divisions to extensions.

It is also possible to synchronise manually using the Broadsoft Sync and Database Sync buttons:

Percentage gain can be specified per extension as the percentage mark-up on the cost of calls made by that user. For example, this field could be used to set a VAT rate for each extension, for billing purposes.

The rental cost is a fixed charge specified per extension. This fee is applied to an extension when running an extension cost report (in Revenue and Billing Reports).

 

 

Extension archiving enables archiving of extensions. It ensures that a new member of staff using a previous staff member’s extension number does not have historic calls assigned to them. For example, extension 235 becomes extension 235_username when archived for audit purposes. All historic calls will be appended with extension 235_username. Extension 235 then becomes available for the new starter with no call history attached.

DDI

Users can add, edit or delete DDIs as well as assign DDI names and Groups. Data is scheduled every night to sync all DDI information from the phone system to the software.

DDI Groups can be created in the DDI Group menu in order to assign multiple DDIs to one group.

Customer

Customer Directory

Users can add, edit or delete customer details such as company name, contact name, contact number and job title for every customer.

Import Inventory

To import a customer directory, go to Import Inventory. The Import Inventory screen displays the recommended format of data prior to upload.


To upload your data, format your data accordingly, browse your computer to locate the file, select the data you are uploading and click ‘Import Now’.

 

Import/Export Directory

To import/export directories select the User menu in Configuration then click on the sub menu ‘Import/Export Directory’.

 

 


The Import Directory screen displays the format data should be in prior to uploading. It is possible to download a sample file to use as a template:

To upload your data, format your data accordingly, browse your computer to locate the file, select which data you are uploading then click ‘Import Now’.

To edit your current directory, firstly export the data using the ‘Export Now’ button, edit the file accordingly, then upload your data following the steps above.

Logins

The logins section allows users to setup user accounts for the system, based on the number of supervisor licenses you have ordered on the Order form.

Throughout the system, user accounts provide access to the software Interface and define the level of access specific users have to the system.

Types of User

There are 4 types of user:

  1. Super-user (Supervisor) - This user has full access to the portal and is the mandatory Supervisor that is set-up. Compliance access can only be granted to Super Users, using the ‘yes/no’ selection tool on the Edit Login screen. This provides authorised users access to compliance management. When access has been granted, the Compliance section in Configuration will become visible.
  2. Restricted User (Additional Supervisor) – This is an additional Supervisor User that has access to the entire portal (excluding the configuration section). Access can be restricted, so the user can only access analytics for users that are assigned to a specific reporting level(s).
  3. Insight User (Dashboard User) - This user can access the Business Insight Console only according to the specific groups that they belong to (e.g. departments, divisions, sites). Insight Console will just show pre-defined reports, dashboards and wallboards.
  4. My Console User - This user can only view call information based on their own extension.

Once logins have been created within the software, users will need to assign extensions to login roles to define access rights and supervisor types (groups).

Tasks and Actions

Scheduled Tasks

This section allows users to view tasks that have been scheduled. Users can see the first run time for each scheduled task.

By clicking the edit option, users have the ability to change the time and date of the scheduled task as well as the run interval.  Users can also add or remove email addresses of those that should be sent the report.

 

Scheduled Actions

Each task can be assigned multiple actions.  For example a Manager may wish to receive reports from various departments (actions) on the same date each month (the task).  Scheduled actions for each task can be viewed or deleted in this section.

ACD Groups

ACD Groups and Super Groups can be added to generate reports using the filter ‘All Contact Groups’.

ACD Group

A new ACD group can be added in this section. Each ACD Group should be assigned to a Super Group.

 

ACD Super Group

A new ACD super group can be added in this section. Super groups added here appear in the ACD Group list > Super Group field.

 

Accounts

This section enables users to name Accounts and Account Groups to generate reports based on the filter ‘All Accounts’ and ‘All Account Groups’.

Account

Users are able to add an account and assign each account to an account group.

 

Account Group

Account Groups can be added in this section and will then appear in the list of account groups in the Add Account > Account Group field.

Call Accounting

In this section, call charge tariffs for area codes can be managed.

Cost Editor

 

 


Charges can be applied to individual dial / area codes in this section. The values can be specified in any currency / denomination (as any numeric value) but should all be specified in the same denomination. Calls charges are per minute based on the value defined for each dial / area code.

Import / Export Charges

Charges can be imported or exported directly instead of adding them individually. Please note, the file should be in .CSV format.

 

 

System Settings

Business Performance Settings


This section enables KPI parameters, trading hours and access codes to be specified.

 

Financial Linking

Trading Hours 

Trading hours can be defined for the working week. Trading hours defined in this section are applied to relevant reports and in filters (trading / non-trading hours) so reports can be generated for specific business hours. For example, weekend data can be excluded from reports to exclude any irrelevant data, such as a missed call at midnight or on a Sunday.

Performance Parameters

The Target Answer Time and Target Wrap-Up Time can be specified (in seconds). The option is also available to synchronise sites or departments with the telephony platform. Please be aware that any manual changes undertaken within the application will be overwritten if this option is selected.

System Settings

An ‘Access Code’ is a call prefix or dial code used to connect to an outside call or extension. The access code specified is automatically removed from reports that display outgoing numbers.

For example, if a user dials ‘9’ to make an outgoing call then dials ‘01712xxxxxx’, the number displayed on a report would be ‘01712xxxxxx’, without any access code.

Compliance

The compliance section provides access to audit reports and masked CLIs. Extension archiving is also a compliance feature which is accessible only to super users / compliance users.

Compliance > Audit Reports


This section displays an audit log showing any changes committed on the portal in a specified period (all user changes that are audited and can be tracked). The audit log can be filtered by Date or User or Entity or Action. These audit reports can be downloaded as PDF or CSV file

 

 

Mask CLI

Numbers can be added to the list of excluded CLIs to exclude the number from reports. When added to the list, the last five digits of any number are masked with an asterisk (*) in historical data. To mask number in future call data the checkbox ‘Mask CLI for Future Calls’ should be ticked. A number added to the list of CLIs masked for future calls can also be deleted from the list.

 

Extension Archiving

Extension archiving enables archiving of extensions. It ensures that a new member of staff using a previous staff member’s extension number does not have historic calls assigned to them. For more details see the Configuration > User section of this guide.

Applying Filters to Reports

 

‘Filter’ is a very powerful tool that gives users the ability to narrow down call information to meet their reporting requirements. Filter options are available on any report and users can access this by simply clicking on ‘Apply Filters’ which presents the following screen.

 

Select Date/Time

 

Users can apply date or time filters to analyse call information for a specific date or time period. Select the Date/Time drop down to select pre-defined dates / date ranges or input custom dates and times.  This filter can be useful when searching for a call at a particular time/date.

 

 

Extensions/Agents

 

This filter allows users to report on individual or multiple extensions/agents, helping to narrow report results to focus only on the extensions/agents of interest.  Users have three options on this filter:

 

 

Levels

 

A reporting level group (division, department, cost centre, site contact group, accounts, account groups) contains multiple extensions to make it easier to create reports, rather than using filters to manually select multiple extensions.

The reporting level filter has six dropdowns for division, department, cost centre, site, contact group or account/account group. Users can limit reports to show all call data from a single group and/or select particular divisions/departments/cost centres/sites/groups/accounts or account groups using the dropdown list.  All these groups are picked up from configuration of the product.  By default all groups will be selected, however, users can untick a box to select from the dropdown.

 

 

 

DDI/Campaign

 

A DDI is a direct dial number and a Campaign is a group of DDIs. Users can use this filter option to display call information to a specific DDI, Campaign, or multiple DDIs.  Users can use this filter in scenarios where they need to see how many calls were offered to specific DDIs.  There are three options available on this filter:

 

 

Call Types

 

This is one of the most useful filters that allows users to remove certain call types from reports, for reporting on selected types of calls.  This section has four options available:

 

 

Restrictions

 

These are unique filters that provide extra functionality to narrow down the search further, by destination, call duration and ring time.

 

Users can restrict call information in the following three ways:

 

 

 

 

Report ‘Action’ Menu

 

At the top of every report there are icons which enable users to create a live tile, save as a favourite, save as PDF or CSV, email report or schedule the report. Details of each action follow.

 

Add to Favourites

 

Any report within the product can be added to the Favourites section.  Adding a report to favourites saves time as all the filters are saved and users can simply run the same filtered report with just one click from the Favourites section.

 


After clicking on ‘Add to Favourites’ the user will be presented with the screen below:

 

 

Save as PDF/Save as CSV

 

This option allows users to save the reports they currently have open in either a PDF or a CSV format.

 

Email

 

This option allows users to email the report instantly to any email address in either PDF or CSV format.

 

Schedule Reports

 

Reports can be scheduled and sent in the user’s selected language. Any report can be scheduled as a new task or added to an existing task.

 

Firstly, when creating a new scheduled report, the user should click on ‘Create New Task’ then allocate the task a name so it can be easily identified in the ‘Scheduled Task’ list in ‘configuration’. Further reports can be added to this task in order to provide one (or more) person(s) with multiple scheduled reports.

 

One or more email addresses can be entered, then the time, date and run interval for the report can be set. The report should be given a name and the format for the report (CSV or PDF) should be selected.

If the number of records in a report exceeds 20,000 the service will send the report in .csv format (zipped). If the number of records is less than 20,000, the pre-defined format is followed (pdf, html,).

 

A report can be added to an existing task through the ‘Add to existing task’ tab. 

 


Existing tasks appear in a dropdown list to enable the user to select the task to which the report should be added.  Details such as when the report will run, to whom the report is sent, and how often, will appear when an existing task is selected.

 

The user should allocate the report a name and choose the format of the report (PDF/CSV), then save the report to the existing task.  Reports allocated to tasks can be edited / deleted in ‘configuration’.

 

Favourites

 

All the Favourite reports created from the reports catalogue (using the favourites icon, found at the top of every report) will be available in this section.

 


Select a report name to view the report with the filters applied when it was saved to favourites.

Glossary of Call Types and Call Flows

 

Below is a glossary of terms used in the application:

 

Abandoned Calls:                  An abandoned call is a call that is ended before any conversation occurs, often because the caller is frustrated with the time on hold.

 

Bounced:                                Bounced calls are incoming calls that come to an extension but are not answered and therefore go to another extension until it is answered or the opposite party hangs up.

 

Call Cost                                  The call cost is calculated by applying the call tariff specified in the Cost Editor.

 

Caller Tolerance:                   Caller Tolerance is the length of time a caller is prepared to wait for their call to be answered.

 

Estimated Revenue

 

Recoverable                           The potential retrievable revenue opportunity on unreturned missed calls. This will be calculated using the sales value of a call multiplied by the number of missed calls.

 

Grade of Service (GoS):        Grade of Service is the total calls answered within the target response time over total calls offered.

 

I/T:                                           Incoming transferred calls are calls that were picked up by an extension and then transferred to another extension.

 

I/U:                                           Incoming unanswered calls are calls that were hung up before being answered by an agent or answered by the auto attendant and then hung up before being transferred to a group or extension.

 

INC:                                          Incoming complete calls are calls that have been answered by an agent then completed. This record will show all the call information including the total duration and the final extension the call ended on.

 

INX:                                          Internal calls are calls that were made within the business from one extension to another.

 

Minimum Charge                  This will be the charge applied to a call dial code, should the cost per minute X duration not reach this value. Once the cost per minute X duration exceeds this value, the actual cost will be displayed.

 

Missed Calls:                          Missed calls are unanswered calls.

 

OUT:                                         Outgoing calls are calls made out of the business to an external number.

 

Percentage Calls Answered

 

(PCA):                                      Percentage of calls answered within the target response time over total calls answered for the day.

 

Percentage Gain                    Percentage gain can be specified per extension as the percentage mark-up on the cost of calls made by that user, calculated using values set in Configuration > User > Extension.

 

Rental Cost                             The rental cost is a fixed charge specified per extension. This fee is applied to an extension when running an extension cost report (in Revenue and Billing Reports).

 

Ring Time:                               Ring Time is the length of time before a call is answered.

 

Target Answer Time:            This is a threshold period within which an agent must answer the call to achieve good customer service. The target answer time can be set in configuration > system settings > settings.

 

Total Duration:                      The total length of a call from the time it is answered to the time the call is complete, including any transfers or time on hold.

 

Total Estimated Revenue    The total of outgoing and incoming estimated revenue. This total estimated revenue reflects the total potential revenue opportunity.

 

Total Estimated Revenue

 

on Incoming Calls                  is the potential revenue opportunity on incoming calls. This value is calculated based on the incoming ‘strike rate’ as defined in System Settings > Business Performance Settings.

 

Total Estimated Revenue

 

on Outgoing Calls                  is the potential revenue opportunity on outgoing calls. This value is calculated based on the outgoing ‘strike rate’ as defined in System Settings > Business Performance Settings.

 

Total Talk Time:                     The total length of time talking on a call.

 

Unreturned Missed Calls:    Unreturned missed calls are unanswered calls that have not yet been returned. Once the call has been returned it will no longer appear on a report as unreturned missed.

 

X/U:                                         An internal call that is not answered.
