Group calls by callID

A simple phone call can be split into several legs, depending on the parties involved in the conversation. These call legs have the same callID.

Select Yes, if you want all call legs to be grouped into a single table entry, i.e. one head row with details like overall Call Duration, Call Cost and Profit. Please note that the rest of details in the head row refer strictly to the first call leg (the party that initiated the call). To see call leg details individually, go to the head row and click the Expand icon in the E column. Each call leg will be displayed on a separate table row with details like caller, callee, call schematic, the time the call was initiated and answered to, etc.

If you select No, the report will show each call leg in a separate row.

Selected channel prefix

This value is available only for outgoing external calls. It contains the prefix of the dialed number that was matched with one of the area codes defined in the routing channel's costs.This information is especially useful for debugging.

titleClick here to expand an example →
The user dials the external number 8010400.
Let's assume the channel that routes the call has 2 costs defined:
  • Area code 80 charges 0.2 USD
  • Area code 801 charges 0.5 USD
Since area code 801 is the closest matching prefix for the dialed number, the caller will be charged 0.5 USD. If the entry corresponding to 801 would have been deleted, the closest matching prefix would be 80 and the caller would be charged only 0.2 USD. Let's assume it was an error caused by the administrator; when updating the channel costs, the administrator forgot to delete the entry corresponding to 801.
This error would be hard to trace if the channel had more than 20 costs defined.


Parent call IDThis column will display the number which originated a received call.This is useful for tracing phone calls that have multiple entries in the call cost table. For example, when a call that is received by an extension and transferred to another, the system records two separate entries and gives the impression that two different calls have been made.
Callback CallerIDIf the caller used a callback extension to route its call to a remote destination, this column displays the authorized callerID (the number from which the user dialed the system).
Channel nameThis column will display the name of the channel the call has been routed through.The channel name will be displayed only for outgoing external calls.
Calling card codeIf the caller used a calling card to call a destination number, this column displays the code introduced to authenticate and charge the call.
SIP-CallIDIt is used to identify all SIP packets that belong to a particular call.
Called DIDThe Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number which was called.

The callerID of the person that placed the call.
