Admin Center Access
The Admin Center is a web application. Access it from the Telebroad home page under the Login menu or by entering https://account.telebroad.com in your web browser.
Your Admin Center credentials are the same as your TeleConsole credentials.
If two-factor authentication (2FA) is active, an additional security step will prompt you to select an email address where a six-digit authentication code will be sent. Enter this code on the following screen to complete the authentication process.
You can receive the code on any email address associated with any of your Telebroad accounts (if you have more than one) and select Switch method to select an alternate address.
Two-factor authentication can be enabled or disabled for an entire account from the Admin Center Account Security settings.
You can also select to Sign in with Google or Sign in with Office 365. This will open a browser tab where you can authenticate with your Google or Microsoft credentials. An advantage of these methods is that you can have two-factor authentication for these login methods even 2FA is not globally enabled for Telebroad accounts.
If you check the Remember Me box you will remain logged in for 30 days, even if you close the browser window. Otherwise, you will remain logged in just until you close the Admin Center browser window.
Password Reset
If you forgot your password select the Forgot your password? link. Provide the email address used for your account and select RESET PASSWORD. You will receive an email with a link to take you to a web page or a TeleConsole screen where you can enter a new password. Remember that this will also change your TeleConsole password.
For Google or Microsoft password reset first select to sign in with either account then select the relevant account recovery link. Google – Forgot email?/Forgot Password? or Microsoft Can't access your account?. Resetting your password for the TeleConsole will also reset it for all your Google or Microsoft products and services and will require you to sign in with the new password!

Multiple Admin Center accounts can be signed in using the same Admin Center web client. A web client is defined by a specific web browser – if you use a different browser or use the same browser in incognito mode, it would be necessary for you to sign in again.
You can select to Sign out of your account but if more than one account is signed in this option changes to Sign out of all accounts.
You can Change or Remove your profile picture with the button. Your profile picture applies to both the Admin Center and the TeleConole.
If you want to change the Organization Name (appearing under your name) you need to go to Admin Center Menu>Account. Make sure you are on the Settings tab and expand the Account Profile options.
Switching Accounts
Select Switch accounts to see and manage a list of signed-in accounts. Select any account you want to use by selecting it and choosing SWITCH.
Add a new account with Sign in with a different account. This will take you to the same sign-in screen mentioned above.
Select next to the account name to Remove the account from the list or Sign out from the account.
Signed-out accounts on the list are greyed out and appear with the option to Sign in.
Voice Features Quick Menu
Voice Features are accessed from the Admin Center menu where you can view and manage all voice features on the system. User guides are available here.
The voice features quick menu saves you time (especially when building a phone system) by letting you add new voice features with one click.
Call Activity Overview / History
Here you can see basic call activity statistics for a selected date range. The summary boxes show the total calls for the date range while the Call History plots the calls on a graph. The All Group Calls box summarizes all the calls arriving from queues or hunt group. Clicking on the graph will show an information bubble with the values for a specific date on the x-axis of the graph.
You can click the Incoming calls or Outgoing calls buttons to show or hide the relevant call graphs.
Use the button to pick the date range from a calendar. Change the month with the arrows () and click the month to change the year. Clicking Show Analytics will switch to the Analytics dashboard, which has more comprehensive statistics and report options, applying the date range you specified (on the Analytics dashboard you may have to scroll the graph or adjust its magnification to see details.)

- Users & Phones: This is where you can configure the PBX adding and managing the phone system users and their phone lines, mailboxes, roles, devices, profiles, and more.
The phone numbers you can manage here are for internal lines and extensions with a shorter format than ten-digit phone numbers. - Phone Numbers: Here you can manage ten-digit phone numbers to be used with caller IDs, Direct Inbound Dialing, SMS and fax lines, and the main number for your company. Phone numbers cannot be created but can be bought or ported over from other providers. A useful option here can help with unsolicited calls by filtering them based on incoming caller ID.
- Voice Features: These allow you to access, configure, add, and create the phone system voice components including IVR menus, extensions, hunt groups, call queues, page groups, pickup groups, mailboxes, audio files, pattern menus, and schedules.
- SMS Features: Let you set up auto-replies and announcements for SMS numbers.
- Analytics: View statistical indicators and generate charts to analyze call traffic and user productivity. Measurements and results can reflect phone calls, phone numbers, users, groups, or callers. Analytics is linked to Call History report and Saved Reports for easy sharing and application of filters, date range, and KPIs.
- Reports: Generate reports for Call History, SMS history, and fax history (coming soon). Customizable reports can be created and delivered on a schedule with Saved Reports. You can apply filters to narrow and refine the results. The Call History report and Saved Reports are linked to Analytics so you can share filters, date range, and KPIs (for the latter) between the three.
- Alerts (coming soon): Create Admin Center and phone system alerts and notifications to help you identify and manage heavy call volumes, queue overflows, and other critical situations.
- App Integrations: Telebroad's integrations allow users to cross-reference calls made or received in their TeleConsole account with third-party services. Names, phone numbers, emails, and other contact details are provided and the contacts' pages can be directly opened in the third-party services with one click.
Currently, you can configure the HHAeXchange, Hubspot, and Salesforce Integrations in the Admin Center. Zapier and Zoho integrations are also supported by Telebroad but are configured outside the Admin Center. - Developer panel: Coming soon.
