What is the definition of a contact center call ?
An incoming call is marked as contact center call when the call arrives at the queue pilot number. This is the only way for a call to enter the contact center.

When are contact center call related data written into database
Contact center call related data (e.g. agent talk time, GOS etc) is written into database at the termination of the call, not during the life of the call i.e. moving from agent A to agent B.

When is a contact center call is regarded as terminated
The call is regared as therminated and no longer regarded for reporting, when the call has, the call has left the contact center. This can be done by: a.) Agent or caller hangs up b.) The call is transferred to a non agent.

How are contact center calls counted, which are routed by CCV element "Record in Mailbox" to voicemail ?
The contact center call duration does not include any time spent recording a message in Voicemail.

How are contact center calls counted, which are handles by CCV element "Callback" ?
The contact center call duration includes the time spent recording the callback message.

Are there differences within the call counting between agent – agent communication and agent - non agent communication ?
In case of internal agent - agent communication, the call is still in the contact center and the data will be written when the call is terminated. This includes handling by more than one agent but not consultation i.e. caller on hold. As soon as the call is transferred to a non agent, the call has left the contact center and it is no longer regarded for reporting. The agent talk time, GOS etc. is written at the time the call is transferred.

How many entries can be entered in the VIP caller list ?
There is no "practical limit". The VIP caller list was tested with up to 15.000 entries in the lab. But before using such large number of VIP entries, practical use has to be doublechecked and the administration efforts shoud be considered seriously. In addition a large number of VIP entries may slow down database queries, depending on the server HW-platform.

What is BIRT
BIRT is an open source Eclipse-based reporting system that can be integrated with a Java/J2EE application to produce compelling reports. BIRT has two main components: a visual report designer for creating BIRT Reports, and a runtime component for generating reports, for more details please see :

What are the differences between the RCP Designer and BIRT Eclipse Plugin
For creating BIRT reports, the report developers can use the visual report designer. For developers that already uses eclipse ( familiar with eclipse ) there is available BIRT Eclipse Plugin, but also the report designer is available as standalone rich client application ( eclipse application ) named BIRT RCP Designer. Other than BIRT RCP Designer being a standalone eclipse application and the BIRT Eclipse Plugin being integrated with Eclipse – there are no functional (report relevant) differences between them.

Is it possible to add a new report as "Standard Report" to the system ?
It is possible to create a similar report using one existing Standrad Report template and store it back to the system as an additional report, but it is not possible to modifiy or delete a default (named also “system” or “standard” )report.

What has to be prepared before a report can be modified ?
All that is needed is to have HP 3000/OSO server and installed myReports

Is a "offline" report generation possible (without link to running HP 3k) ?
Yes, but the OSO server must be running

Can the reports be modified offline (without running my Reports or running HP 3000
Yes, with the OSO PC running but the user has to know how to start BIRT

What about the licensing issues if there are such issues
Only one user can be connected with myReports to OSO database at one time.

How can modified reports be accessed afterwards by myReports
Reports are saved by the user and added to the myReports menu, then they are accessed as usual
