Calls history

You can view the recent calls history on the communication panel. It is available if the user is neither in a conversation mode nor searching for a subscriber. The history is also available when transferring a call to another number.

The calls history chronologically displays the recent incoming, outgoing and missed calls, and brief information about the accounts/contacts that a connection was established with (Fig. 1).

Note

The number of calls displayed in the history can be set up in the “Number of records on the “Calls history“ tab“ system setting.

Note

Do not close the browser window when making a call via the Creatio interface for proper saving the call history. If the window was closed during the conversation, the call ent dime and its duration will not be saved.

The calls history displays information only about the latest communication session with a certain subscriber (account or contact). For example, if you call several numbers specified on the [Communication options] detail of a contact, the calls history will display one record for this contact with the number that was dialed last.

If you called a subscriber and now you need to call another of his/her numbers, go to the contact/account page from the calls history and make a call from the subscriber page.

To do that, in the calls history, click the name of the contact/account. It is displayed as a link (Fig. 2). The subscriber page will open. On the page, select the needed number from the numbers available on the [Communication options] detail. You can call directly from the contact/account page by clicking either the phone number or the call button next to the number on the [Communication options] detail (Fig. 5).

If the same phone number is associated with several subscribers (contacts and/or accounts) in the system, then when the connection is established, different subscribers will be identified, and the calls history will display separate records for each contact/account (Fig. 3).
