Generate detailed reports with complete data customization. To start select Report from the ACD Panel Menu.
There are three types of reports available - by Queues, by Agents, or by Date/Time. When the report screen initially opens, you will see three sample default reports, one for each type. These are functional and can be run, but they are more helpful to edit or copy instead of creating a report from scratch.
Next to each report there is a mini-menu (
) - click it to Run and generate the report, Edit the data fields in it, create a Copy of it so you can make variations of it, or Remove it from the list of reports. You can also run a report just by clicking its name.
If you need to create a new report hover your mouse over 
on the bottom-right corner. It will display three new icons for the different report types. Select the report type you wish to create to open a new window where you will customize the report.
We will examine all the possible data you can enter in a report in a moment. Once you are finished customizing click Run Report (see sample windows below). After the report is generated you can Save a template of it for future use from the mini-menu on the top right corner. You can also Edit the data in it, make a Copy of it, or Remove it from the list of reports. If you try to exit the screen by clicking 
on the top-left corner (or by going back on your browser) you will be asked if you want to save a template of the report or exit without saving. Exiting the screen takes you back to the list of reports.
You can also download an Excel file of the report by clicking 
on the bottom-right corner.
When you make a new report, copy one, or save one the default sample reports disappear and are replaced by a list of your own reports. The interface here is identical to the initial screen.
The only way to access the sample reports is by removing all the new reports you created!

Exit calls are calls that are redirected to a new destination based exit rules that are triggered when certain thresholds are met.
