Usage and Access
The Call History report lists call details for all users in a specified date range. The listed calls can be sorted and filtered. Selecting a call shows its journey – how it moved between different destinations in the phone system. You can also view and listen to call recordings.
Access the Call History screen from the Admin Center Menu>Reports>Call History.
Call history records cannot be deleted! Also, be aware that a single call from a hunt group or a call queue that rings multiple agents appears as separate records for each agent.
Select to look for call records by the phone number of the caller or the recipient. You can also look for names of caller IDs from inbound callers. However, searching for user names is not fully supported, but you can find calls for a specific user(s) with the Users filter.
With the Go to Analytics button you can switch to and apply the selected date range and filters to the Analytics Dashboard.
Date Range
The Date range field offers predefined date choices – Today, Yesterday, Last Week, etc.
You can also use the Enter a custom date range field to select a date range of your choice. Click the date to enter the date manually with your keyboard or click to the start and end date from a calendar.
Exporting Reports
With the button you can export a CSV file of the current report selected in the Report Type menu. Calls in the file appear according to the way you have sorted them. All columns (both the ones you selected and the ones you didn't) are included in the file. Each call is also assigned an ID.
Report Type, Columns, and Sorting
Selecting a Report Type
With the Report Type menu you can generate three types of reports:
- Account Call History: Includes all calls and phone numbers for the account.
- User Call History: Only includes calls where a user is the endpoint for dialed or received calls. So for example, an inbound call where the caller hung up when greeted by the main IVR is not included in this report since it did not reach an actual user.
Calls that are transferred, are counted separately! So, when user A receives a call the report counts it once and when the call is transferred to user B the report counts it again as a separate call. - Group Call History: Includes only calls routed to or from hunt groups or queues.
Data Columns
Some data columns are shared between the three report types but most are specific to each report. The "Transferred" column does appear in Account Call History and User Call History but provides different information.
Not all columns are shown by default. Use the button to display additional columns or hide existing ones. Use the Reset button to display the default columns of the report.
Shared data columns:
- Direction (Account Call History and User Call History):
This is an icon showing the initial direction of the call. For Incoming calls also indicates the call status.Incoming Missed calls.
A call is considered a missed call if an agent did not answer or rejected it. A call is also considered missed if the caller hangs up during a voicemail greeting.Incoming Answered calls. Outgoing calls. Internal calls. - Status: Shows the eventual status of the call.
For Account Call History and User Call History, the most common statuses are Missed, Answered, Cancel (user hung up while the call was ringing), No answer, Busy/Congested line, or delivered to the user as a Voicemail. For answered calls that were transferred, you may see that it was "Answered by 2 people" (or more).
Group Call History has different statuses– Answered by an agent, Abandoned by the caller (caller hung up), or an Exit status when the call was routed out of the group. Exiting a group can happen after the system tried to ring all group agents, under certain conditions (like too many calls holding), or when the caller dials *. - Date & Time (all three report types): The date and time the call was initiated by a user or was first received on the phone system.
Account Call History data columns:
- Caller Name: The name of the caller. Calls dialed by company users are indicated with a yellow icon of the user's initial (
) while calls coming from external numbers are indicated by a green icon of the caller's initial (
).
- Caller ID: Caller ID for the caller's phone number or the user's phone line.
- Dialed Number: The phone number that the caller initially dialed (that is before the call was transferred or routed to other destinations on the phone system).

You can see other destinations where the call was transferred to under the Call Journey tab. - Duration: Total duration for the call, including ring and talk time.
- Abandoned: Calls hung up by the caller while the call was waiting in a queue or during an IVR greeting.
- Transferred: The number of times the call was transferred (0 value if the call was not transferred.)
- Repeated: The number of calls that were repeatedly dialed from the same number on the same day.
The number of calls in the column is a link. Clicking it will open all calls related to the dialed number. - Called Back: Calls where the caller requested to be called back, instead of waiting in a call queue (callers request a call back by dialing *.)
The call-back option can be enabled or disabled for each queue under the queue's Call Settings. - Recording: If a call has a recording you can click the
icon to open the Recording tab.
User Call History data columns:
- User: Name and phone line of the user who made or received the call.
- Phone Number: The phone number dialed by the user or the phone number of an external caller who dialed the user.
- Arrived From/To: Where the call originated from before it was received by the user or where it arrived to if the user dialed it.
- Ring Duration: The duration the call rang before it was answered or rejected.
- Talk Duration: The actual talk duration for the call once it was picked up.
- Transferred: What kind of transfer was performed on the call – Blind or Smart Transfer (The difference between the two is explained in the TeleConole call options. ) The field is left empty if the call was not transferred.
- User On Call: For group calls (hunt groups or queue), indicate "Yes" when the user did not pick up a call because he was on another call. All other call scenarios are shown as "No".
Group Call History Columns:
- Group: The hunt group or queue the call was routed to.
- Phone number: The phone number of the caller.
- Agents: The agent who answered the call or "No Answer" if the caller abandoned the call or select to exit the group.
- Answered Level: The number of times a call was cycled through a queue or a hunt group. In other words that is the number of agents the system rang while the caller was holding.
- Wait Time: How long the caller waited in the hunt group or queue before the call was answered.
- Talk Time: The conversation duration between the caller and the agent who answered his call.
Sorting Columns
You can sort the report by the values of any column, except those with phone numbers. Click a column to sort it in ascending order () and click it again to sort it in descending order (
).
In the example shown here, the report is sorted by date and time. Note that if you sort by other columns, the system will also display the results, if possible, in chronological order.
Applying Filters
You can use one or several filters to narrow down and refine the report results. Account Call History and User Call History reports have the same filters while the Group Call History report has a different set of filters. The Statuses filter appears in all three reports but has different choices for Group Call History.
The filter toolbar can be shown or hidden with the button. If the filter bar is hidden, the filter button will appear with a green dot (
) when filters are applied to remind you some report results are being filtered out.
Select on the title of an active filter or Clear when opening the filter to clear your selections or remove all filters by selecting Clear all.
Active filters display the first item selected making them wider and, on smaller screens, you may need to drag the filter toolbar or use its right or left arrows to see filters that were shifted off-screen.
Account Call History and User Call History filters:
- Phone Numbers/Users/Groups: Check the filter choices for which you want to see report results. For example, you can select two filters to show results for specific users in the sales queue.
The available Phone Numbers here are system phone numbers. To find phone numbers for outside callers, try sorting the report by the Caller ID column. - Direction: Select to show Incoming, Outgoing, or Internal calls.
