CAR User Reports Configuration
CAR provides reporting capabilities for three levels of users:
•
Administrators—Generate system reports to help with load balancing, system performance, and troubleshooting.
•Managers—Generate reports for users, departments, and QoS to help with call monitoring for budgeting or security purposes and for determining the voice quality of the calls.
•Individual users—Generate a billing report for their calls.
This chapter contains the following topics:
•Configuring Bills
•Configuring Top N
•Configuring Cisco IP Manager Assistant (IPMA) Usage Reports
•Cisco IP Phone Services Reports

Note Depending on your job function, you may not have access to every report that is described in this chapter.
Configuring Bills
Individual bills provide call information for the date range that you specify. You can either view reports that the system automatically generates or generate new reports. Only CAR administrators can schedule reports for automatic generation. If you are an administrator, see the "System Scheduler Configuration" section, for more information.
Department bills provide call information and quality-of-service (QoS) ratings. If you are a manager, you can generate a summary or detailed report of the calls that all users who report to you made, or only those users that you choose.
If you are a CAR administrator, you can generate a summary or detailed report of the calls that some or all users in the system made. This report helps you keep track of all calls on a user-level basis for the entire system.
This section contains the following procedures:
•Configuring Individual Bills
•Configuring Department Bills
Configuring Individual Bills
This section describes how to view, or mail, summary or detail information about users, managers, and administrators.
Procedure
Step 1 Perform one of the following tasks:
•If you are a user or manager, choose Bills > Individual.
•If you are a CAR administrator, choose User Reports > Bills > Individual.
The Individual Bill window displays.
Step 2 In the Report Type field, choose Summary or Detail.
Summary reports provide a summary of all calls for a chosen period (the total number of calls that were made and the charges that were incurred). Detailed reports provide the call types (Internal, Local, Long Distance, International, or On Net) for all calls over a chosen period.
Step 3 In the Available Reports field, choose an automatically generated report (if available) and go to Step 6, or use the default Generate New Report and go to Step 4.
Note You can only choose the automatically generated report if you are logged in as CAR administrator. The automatically generated reports do not display in the drop-down list box if you are logged in as a manager or individual user.
You can only choose the pregen report if you are logged in as CAR administrator. Non CAR admin users (Manager level users and Individual Users) cannot see the pregen reports from the scroll down list.
Step 4 Choose the date range for the period for which you want to see call information.
Step 5 If you want the report in CSV format, choose CSV (comma separated value) in the Report Format area. If you want the report in PDF format, choose PDF (portable document format) in the Report Format area.
Step 6 Click the View Report button.
The report displays.
Step 7 If you want to mail the report, click the Send Report button. To send the report, follow the procedure that is described in the "Mailing a Report" section.

Configuring Top N
Top N by Charge reports the users who made the maximum charge for the specified date range. If you are a manager, the report includes the top charges for all calls that users who report to you made during the specified period. If you are a CAR administrator, the report includes the top charges for all calls that all users on the system made for the specified period. You can generate each Top N report with two to three options to show the Top N Users, Destinations, Calls, or Extensions.
Top N by Duration reports the top number of users that incurred a maximum time on calls during a period that you specify. If you are a manager, the report lists the top number of users who report to you that incurred a maximum time for calls that were made during the chosen date range, starting with the longest. If you are a CAR administrator, the report lists the top number of users that incurred a maximum time for calls that were made during the chosen date range, starting with the longest.
Top N by Number of Calls reports the top number of calls that were made and received by users during a period that you specify. If you are a manager, the report lists the top number of calls by users among the users who report to you for the chosen date range. If you are a CAR administrator, the report lists the top number of calls for each user in the system.

Configuring Cisco IP Manager Assistant (IPMA) Usage Reports
Cisco Unified CallManager Assistant provides the call completion usage reports of both managers and assistants. Only CAR administrators can generate IPMA reports. The Cisco IPMA menu allows you to choose all or a subset of managers or assistants by using simple search functionality that is based on partial or complete first or last name. You can generate these reports on demand in either PDF or CSV format and e-mail them. In addition, you can choose the time range and generate either detailed or summary level reports.
The manager reports can include calls that only managers handle for themselves, calls that only assistants handle for managers, and calls that qualify in either case. The summary report for a manager shows the number of calls of each type and total, apart from duration for each assistant (and/or manager). The detail report for a manager shows the date, origination time, origination number, destination number, call classification, and duration for each call for all the assistants (and/or manager), and last total duration for the manager.
The assistant reports can include calls that only assistants handle for themselves, or calls that only assistants handle for managers, and calls that qualify in either case. The summary report for an assistant shows the number of calls of each type and total of them apart from duration for each manager (and/or assistant). The detail assistant report shows the date, origination time, origination number, destination number, call classification, and duration for each call for all the managers (and/or assistant) and last total duration for the assistant.
