Information

MiCloud Team Managers and Authorized Contacts can generate a Talk Time report for a location, group, or individual employee.

The initial Talk Time report includes the following:

  • Details
    • TN - telephone number of the user; does not reflect the Outbound Caller ID (OBCID)
    • Label - name of the user as it appears in the MiCloud database
  • Inbound
    • Calls - displays two numbers, X of Y; X represents the number of inbound calls answered and Y represents the total number of inbound calls received, the difference is the number of missed inbound calls
    • Talk Time - total time spent talking on the phone for inbound calls
    • Average Talk Time - average time spent talking on the phone per inbound call
  • Outbound
    • Calls - displays two numbers, X of Y; X represents the number of outbound calls answered and Y represents the total number of outbound calls placed
    • Talk Time - total time spent talking on the phone for outbound calls
    • Average Talk Time - average time spent talking on the phone per answered outbound call
  • Total
    • Calls - displays the total number of inbound calls answered and outbound calls placed
    • Talk Time - total time spent talking on the phone for inbound and outbound calls
    • Average Talk Time - average time spent talking on the phone per call

NOTE: Talk Time reports display data for the user who answered the call, regardless of the point of origin of the call. Talk Time reports do not indicate how calls reach a phone number (for example, whether the call was placed directly to the user or reached the user through an auto attendant, ring group, call forwarding, or call screening rule).
