<h2>Introduction</h2>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/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 incoming, outgoing and abandoned calls.</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>

			<th class="confluenceTh">Description</th>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="confluenceTd"><b>Time slot</b></td>
			<td class="confluenceTd">To sort by time slot, simply click on the <span class="reference">Time slot</span> header to sort in alternative ascending order.

		<tr>
			<td class="confluenceTd"><b class="red">Missed</b></td>
			<td class="confluenceTd">The missed calls column is always displayed as red. It allows you to re-order your call analysis detail based on whichever of the following criteria is most important:

					<li><b><img class="icon" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/sigma.png" alt="Squiggle" />:</b> This shows the total number of missed calls in the corresponding half-hour timeslot. e.g. Select this option if you want to re-order the Call analysis report to display the half hour slot with the most missed calls. Click again to display the half hour slot with the least missed calls.
					</li>

					<li><b>Max:</b> This shows the maximum length of time a caller waited before hanging up (in seconds).  Select this option if you want to sort your missed call in order of the maximum duration of missed calls in any half-our time slot.  By clicking again the report will alternate between the time slot with the longest ring time and the time slot with the shortest ring time. </li>

					<li><b>Avg:</b> How long the average caller waited before abandoning the call (in seconds).  Select this option if you want to sort your missed calls in 
						order of the average duration of missed calls in any half-our time slot. By clicking again the report will alternate between decending and ascending order for average ringtime of missed calls.

By clicking again the report wil alternate between the time slot with the longest and shortest average ring time.
