  • You cannot change the source report once you save a custom report.

Field

Description

Standard Reports

Select one of the available standard reports as a base for generating the custom report.

Custom Reports

Select one of the available custom reports as a base for generating the custom report.

Report Name

Specify a name for the report.

The maximum length of the field is 80 characters and must not contain the following special characters:

, < > ? / \ ! & ( ) + = “ ‘

Note:

If you have selected an organization in the field above, the selected organization and forward slash character are automatically prefixed to the report name.

Date and Time group

Button

Description

Predefined Values

The options are:

  • All Dates and Times

  • Today

  • Yesterday

  • This Week

  • Last Week

  • This Month

  • Last Month

Last

Limits the report to a given number of days or hours.

Enter that number of days or hours in the associated text field, then select Days or Hours from the associated drop-down list. You can enter a whole number from 1 to 99.

The number of days is calculated from midnight to 11:59 p.m.

For example, if the current time is 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday and you enter a 3 in this field and select Days from the drop-down, the report will include all activity starting on Monday at midnight through the end of the current day.

Between

Limits the report to a specified range of dates. The default range covers a seven day time span that ends with the current date and time.

If you want a different range of dates:

  • In the beginning of the Start Date/Time field, enter the start date using the format mmm-dd-yyyy or click the calendar icon to select the date from a pop-up calendar. After the start date, enter the start time using a 24-hour format and the same timezone as the EPM. For example, you could enter Mar-03-2007 16:26:10.

    The default for this field is one week prior to the current date at time 00:00:00.

  • In the beginning of the End Date/Time field, enter the end date using the format mmm-dd-yyyy or click the calendar icon to select the date from a pop-up calendar. After the end date, enter the end time using a 24-hour format and the same timezone as the EPM. For example, you could enter Mar–10–2007 16:26:10.

    The default for this field is the day prior to the current date at time 23:59:59.

Note:

The amount of data available for this report depends on the setting for call data records in the Call/Session Retention Period field in the Report Database Record Data group on the Report Data Configuration page.

For example, if the value is set to 14, you can enter a start date that is two weeks before the current date. If the value is set to 7, you can only check for the previous week.

Optional Filters group

In any text field:

  • All searches are case insensitive unless otherwise noted.

  • You can replace one or more characters with a wildcard. To replace one character, use _ (underscore). To replace any number of characters, use a % (percent sign).

    For example, car_ matches Cart or cars, while Car% matches Cart, cars, Cart Rentals, Car Rentals, CARPET, and so on.

  • To specify multiple keywords, any one of which will result in a match, use the , (comma) search operator to separate the keywords. For example, to find all calls that came from either 111-555-1212 or 222-555-1214, you would enter tel:1115551212,tel:2225551214 in the Originating # field.

  • To specify that a keyword should NOT appear in record, use the ~ (tilde) search operator in front of the keyword. For example, to find all calls that did NOT come from 111-555-1212, you would enter ~tel:1115551212 in the Originating # field.

  • To specify that multiple keywords must all appear in a record for it to be a match, use the + (plus sign) search operator in front of the keyword.

  • You can combine wildcards and search operators. For example, if you want to eliminate all calls that originated from numbers in the 408 and 303 area codes, you would enter ~tel:303%+~tel:408% in the Originating # field.
