MERLIN LEGEND Reporter
MERLIN LEGEND Reporter includes the following major features:
Call Collection. MERLIN LEGEND Reporter collects call records from the
MERLIN LEGEND Communications System's SMDR (Station Message
Detail Recording) feature. It uses one of the three following methods:
— Direct connection to the SMDR jack on the control unit
— File transfer from another application that collects the call information
— A Pollable Storage Unit (PSU) that connects to the control unit and
Call Processing. MERLIN LEGEND Reporter processes call record
details and stores them in a database. With caller identification services,
the application can automatically and immediately print out the incoming
telephone numbers of callers who abandoned their calls while waiting for
an agent, allowing a rapid return call from the organization. In addition, the
application can mask certain outgoing telephone numbers to ensure
privacy where needed (for example, on an executive's private line).
Reports. MERLIN LEGEND Reporter produces an extensive library of
reports to help in analyzing facilities and calling groups. You can set up
reports to run automatically at preset intervals or on demand. Some reports
are tabular only, while others allow the manager to see a chart as well.
User-customizable reports are organized into the following categories:
— Organization. Detailed call records according to user-specified criteria,
— Account Code. Callers can input codes to identify the subject of a call,
— Selection. Providing summary and detail information according to very
— Traffic. Primarily covering incoming calls, you can select reports by

period. You may move it to a backup storage medium and restore it when
you need historic reports.
