Do you plan to report on individual transactions within Network VRU Self-Service or
Information Gathering applications? If so, you might congure a separate Call Type for
each transaction.
Do you want to separate Information Gathering VRU metrics from queue metrics?
If so, you might congure a separate Call Type for queuing.
Do you plan to use Outbound Option? If so, create a separate Call Type for Outbound Option
calls. Outbound Option uses a routing script in addition to a physical call to reserve agents.
WebView Call Type real-time and half-hour reports contain data for the Call Type associated
with the routing script.
Changing Call Types
Call Type can be changed throughout the life of a call to direct the call to a new routing script
or to gather report metrics for different legs or transactions.
Reasons for changing the Call Type within a routing script include the following:
In a Self-Service network VRU application script, you might change the Call Type at specic
points in the script to indicate that a transaction has been completed. For example, if the
customer is calling a bank and successfully checks his or her account balance using a
Self-Service script, you might want to change the Call Type to indicate that the account
balance transaction has completed and a new transaction has begun. In this case, you would
create a Call Type for each transaction on which you want to report.
You might change the Call Type when a call enters a queue at the end of an Information
Gathering VRU application in order to separate Information Gathering and queuing metrics.
In this case, you would create Call Types associated with the Information Gathering
applications and Call Types associated with queuing.
Planning for Custom Reporting
To determine whether you require custom templates to meet your reporting needs, decide what
data you need and review the data available through WebView report templates (page 165).
If the standard 'out-of-the-box' templates do not meet your needs, you can create custom report
templates.
Note: Note that standard WebView reports do not contain call detail data (page 26) stored in
the Route_Call_Detail and Termination_Call_Detail tables. Custom reports are required for
displaying this data.
Note also that custom reports created for Termination Call Detail and Route Call Detail records
are more resource-intensive and could therefore decrease the performance of the database or of
WebView.
