Things to Know About CentreVu Supervisor Reports1-12
OverviewStatus changes of all ACD data (for splits/skills, trunk groups, vector s,
VDNs, agents, and trunks) are sent from the switch. As a result, the
states of agent extensions and trunks are what all other data are based
on. Agent states appear on real-time reports as
the current status of the ACD, and trunk states appear on the
CMS real-time trunk report . T he f ollowi ng li st of agent states i ncludes the

R3V6, or R3V8 CMS), the agent state is also ACD when a call is
waiting on hold.
Available (AVAIL) The extension is able to accept an ACD call. An
extension is AVAIL in AUTO-IN (AI) or MANUAL-IN (MI) work
modes any time a station does not have a call active or on hold.
After Call Work (ACW) The age nt is en gag ed in bookkeeping, data
entry, or other work relate d to the pr evious ca ll, an d is not ava ilable
to receive another call. The extension enters ACW after an ACD
call in the MANUAL-IN mode completes. On the Enterprise
Communications Se rve r (E C S) , th e age nt can select the state with
the ACW key. If the agent presses the ACW button while on an
ACD call, then the agent goes into ACW mode when the call is
released. This ACW time is tracked as call-associated ACW. If the
agent presses the ACW button while the agent is not on an ACD
call, then the agent will be placed into the ACW mode, but this
ACW will not be tracked as call-associated ACW. An agent’s time
in ACW includes t i me an agent is on incoming or outgoing calls
while in ACW, as well as time in ACW when the agent is not
connected to any calls.
The agent logged into this extension is on a split/skill or direct

calls to the voice terminal . An agent’s time in AUX includes time an
agent is on in coming or o utgoing call s while in AUX, as we ll as time
in AUX when the agent is not connected to any calls. Agents also
accrue AUX time when they make or receive extension calls from
AUTO-IN or MANUAL-IN mode. Reason codes describe the
reasons you are in the AUX work mod e (for example, you are on
break).

impact on refresh rates.

Once the historical CMS database is quer ied f or an int egrated repor t, t he
historical data in the report will not refresh unless you request the report
again. The real-time data will continue to refresh at the end of each

must request the report again to update the data.

Using the Sort tabWhen you are setting up display order for a real-time report, specify the
sort column ( Sort By) and t he sort order ( Ascending or Descendi ng). The
drop-down list for the Sort By lists all of the database table and item
names used in the report.
Sorting may cause report refreshes to take longer. If you wish to speed
up the refresh rate, tu rn off the sort options by selecting "(none)" for al l of
the Sort By criteria.
Examples
Here are two examples of how you might use the Sort tab:
•Viewing a list of agents alphabetically — select "Agent Name" from
the first Sort By drop-down list, selec t Ascending as the sort order,
and leave the other two Then By boxes set to "(none)."
•Searching for agents who have been in a certain state for too long

"Time" f rom the second Then By drop-down list, and then select
Descending as the sort order for the second Then By.
OverviewCharts (found in graphical reports) provide a graphical representation of
data. Values or data points are displayed in formats such as bars, lines,
filled areas, and pie charts. These data points are grouped into series
that are identified with unique color s.
In many chart types, one dat a point from each ser ies i s grouped t ogether
by category across an axi s. Categor ies are plott ed along t he x-axis, while
values are plotted along the y-axis. A two-di mensional chart shows serie s
next to each other, while a three-dimensional chart plots series along the
z-axis. A chart can also have a title and a legend.
If you are in a graphical (chart) report, you can format how the report is
displayed.
The changes you make to a report’s format affect only your view of the
report. The changes do not affect how other
see the report.
In general, if there is no value returned from the database by the query
for a chart, the legends are displayed as dashes.

to the chart.
General tab input fieldsThe following parameters can be changed:
ParameterFunction
Background ColorSpecifies whether the backdrop
of the chart is a solid color or
whether it is displayed as a
gradient, a smooth transition from
one color to another. The
gradient transition can be one of
the following: Horizontal, V erti cal,
Rectangle, or Oval. The quality of
the gradient effect will vary
depending on the video card
installed in the PC, or the
capabilities of the printer for
printed reports.

ParameterFunction
Real-TimeIf the chart is a rolling chart, you
can specify the number of data
points to be displayed in the
chart. Permitted values are 2
through 100, with 10 being the
default. A rolling chart is a line
chart that is initially displayed
with no data points. For each
refresh of the report, a data point
is added. As data points are
added, the chart “rolls” from left
to right. When enough refreshes
have occurred so that the chart is
displaying the number of
specified data points, at the next
refresh, the oldest data point is
dropped from the display and the
newest data point is displayed.
3D Effects tabThe 3D Effects tab allows you to control the 3D appearance of the chart.

elevation of 30 degrees.
RotationA number from -360 through 360

If a window is made too small, some elements may shrink in such a way
to become unreadable. If this happens, resize the window to a more
appropriate size. You may also choose to turn chart legends or data
labels off to make more room for the chart itself.
The window size is saved as part of the report view.
You can change the width of an individual table column in a table or chart
report by positioning the mouse pointer between the column header s.
The pointer will change to indicate that a resize is possible, and you can
then drag the mouse to change the column size.

Page setup optionsThe following options are available in the Page Setup window:

•Margins — allows you to define the spaces at the edges of the page
where nothing will be printed.
•The margin settings are defined as follows:
–Top — the margin is measured from the top of the page. The
report is offset by this amount at the top of each page.
–Bottom — the margin is measured from the bottom of the page.
When a printed table reaches the bottom of the page, it will
continue printing at the top of the next page , with the table titl es
repeated. If a chart would overlap the bottom margin, it wil l be
scaled smaller so that it fits withi n the margin. Text that reaches
the bottom of the page will be printed on the next page.
–Left — the margin is measured from the left of the page. The
report is offset by this amount on the l eft of each page.
–Right — the margin is measured from the right of the page .
Tables and text that are too wide to fit on the printed page are
truncated at the right margin. Charts that would overlap the
right margin are scaled smaller to fit within the margin.
•Page Numbers — allows you to choose whether or not to display
page numbers.
•The following settings are valid:
–Yes — page numbers will be displayed.
–No — no page numbers will be displayed. This is equivalent to

display a box around report tables when printed.
