Report Features

  • Custom timezone for the scheduled report: Select your preferred timezone for the scheduled report and no longer be tied to the PBX timezone.

    • To reactive a report, click the clock icon. Find it in the Active tab.
  • Improved accessibility of Cross-PBX CDR reports: Scheduling CDR reports across PBXs is now enabled within the scheduled report. You do not have to enable it under Settings anymore.
