<h2>Introduction</h2>

<img id="border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/call_analysis.png" alt="Call analysis" />

<p>The Call analysis report breaks down your working day into half-hour 
segments and details important information about your calls. You get a 
clear graphical image showing how many calls are abandoned calls and 
answered and how many outgoing calls are made.</p>

<p>This is broken down into half hour timeslots, showing how long it 
takes you to answer or how long people are waiting before they give up 
and abandon the call. These figures are shown as maximum and averages 
so you can more effectively plan your staffing requirements throughout 
each working day. You can add numerous filters which are described here 
in detail, if you want to be even more specific in the information 
displayed.</p>

<p>You can also optimise to exclude weekends from this report, when perhaps 
not many calls are being made or received, and so as not to distort the 
averages. You can also concentrate on incoming or outgoing calls or 
look at all calls.</p>

<h2>Understanding the Results</h2>

<p>The web format allows for complete flexibility when viewing this report. All headers are clickable allowing you rearrange the report layout in seconds to sort the calls in ascending or decending order based on the header clicked.</p>

<p>To view details of any filters or selection parameters used in creating this report, simply click on the <span class="link">About this report</span> on the top right of the page.</p>
