The Call Scoring report provides a comprehensive analysis of previously-scored calls, enabling you to quickly and easily assess the performance of your staff. TIM Plus gives you the option to create score cards to rate any call according to your own evaluation criteria.

The scores can be based on any combination of questions with the following answers:

  • Yes/No
  • A range
  • Multiple choice

All questions are summarised in a clear, easy-to-understand format and are displayed separately, grouped into their respective categories.

Selecting the reporting period

For each report, you must specify a time span that covers the calls you want the report to include. This is known as the "reporting period".

There are several preset reporting periods available for selection, based on the standard Gregorian calendar. The following table describes how the start and end times are defined for each preset period:

Selecting the report filters

You can limit the results of your report by choosing one or more of the following filters:

Call type

This filter allows you to define the type of call you want to report on, in terms of where the call originated and where it was delivered, e.g. incoming, outgoing, internal, etc.  To report on all types of call, set this to All calls.

Reporting_filter
FilterCall type
ValueAll calls

CLI

Calling Line Identification (CLI) is the telephone number of the remote caller in an incoming call scenario.

You can report on calls that originate from a specific CLI or those whose CLI matches a particular pattern of digits. For example, to report on all incoming calls from Tri-Line, you could enter 02072652600.

Reporting_filter
FilterCLI
Value02072652600

Dialled number

To filter calls to a specific dialled number, type it in the text box provided. The dialled number is defined as the number that is dialled (in the case of an outbound call), or the DDI number that the remote party dialled to reach a particular extension or group (in the case of an inbound call).

To filter calls to a specific area, a partial number can be entered (e.g. 0033 for calls to France).

Reporting_filter
FilterDialled number
Value0033

You can use the ! symbol to explicitly exclude a dialled number from the report's results, and/or the 

Referencemacro
Label*
 symbol as a wildcard in digit pattern matching.  For example, to exclude calls to Tri-Line, but include all others, you could use !020726526*). To report on more than one dialled number, use a comma to separate each entry.

Duration

To filter calls above or below a particular duration, enter the desired duration in seconds.

Reporting_filter
FilterDuration
Value>1800

You can specify a duration range by using the 

Referencemacro
Label-
 symbol; to specify limits, use the comparison operators, ><, and 
Referencemacro
Label!
 .

In the above example, the report will return only calls longer than 1800 seconds (30 minutes).

Selecting the report options

This section enables you to further narrow down your report results, by excluding certain types of calls. It also allows you to sort the report's results in a particular manner.

By clicking on the About this report link at the top-right corner of the page, you can review any filters and options that have been applied to the report.

As with all reports produced by TIM Plus, each page of the report includes the following information:

  • the report's title
  • the date and time that the report was generated
  • the name of the report, if applicable
The results of the call scoring report will vary depending on the type of questions used to create your score cards:

Yes/No questions show their answers as two bars, each indicating the proportion of total answers.
