Configuring call center report profiles and generating reports

The Call Center > Report > Report tab displays a list of report profiles.

A report profile is a group of Setting that contains the report name, its subject matter, its schedule, and other aspects that the FortiVoice unit considers when generating reports from log data. The FortiVoice unit presents the information in tabular and graphical format.

You can create one report profile for each type of report that you will generate on demand or on a schedule.

Note

Generating reports can be resource intensive. To avoid phone processing performance impacts, you may want to generate reports during times with low traffic volume, such as at night. For more information on scheduling the generation of reports, see Configuring call center report profiles and generating reports.
