Call Recording

Call Recording #

If it has been enabled against your account and your user has the correct permission, ~.Dimensions.~ provides access to playback telephone calls, directly from reports.

Access to call recordings is available through 2 methods:

  • Conversations -> A dedicated area for accessing call recordings and conversational intelligence data.
  • Call Session -> By clicking through to the call session view from any call list report, you can access the recordings for that specific call.

Which Calls Are Recorded? #

When and how calls are recorded is controlled on the communications platform. Please refer to your system administrator for more information.

Recording Playback from a Report #

To playback a call, simply run a call list report and use the a saved or quick filter to identify the specific call to replay.

To help find call recordings, there is a dedicated filter option to ensure that the report only includes calls for which there are recordings:

Once the call has been identified, access the Call Session view by clicking on the first field of the row (usually the call Start Time).

On the call timeline, select the segment of the call to playback. In the image below, the 'Demo User 1' segment has been selected. The details of the segment are then displayed below the timeline, including the recording section if a recording is available for that segment.

Depending on how the system configured, their maybe one or more recordings for a call. If the call has been transferred between different users, there may be a recording for each segment.

Color Wand tip
If the recording section does not appear, either the call was not recorded or you do not have permission to play it back.

Clicking on a play icon to initiate the playback of the recording in the embedded media player:

Document note

If using ~.Dimensions.~ on a 3CX system, recordings are not available for playback until they have been archived. Ask you 3CX provider to set the 'Auto Archive' setting to 0 days to ensure recordings are archived immediately and available for playback as soon as the call has ended.
