Call Recording #
If it has been enabled against your account, ~.Dimensions.~ can provide access for users to playback telephone calls. Access to call recordings is directly through the reporting interface using the Call Session click through feature.
Which Calls Are Recorded? #
Examples #
How do I access recordings? #
Call recordings are easily accessed through any of the Call List reports. To playback a call, simply run a call list report and use the a saved or quick filter to identify the specific call to replay.
To help find call recordings, there is a dedicated filter option to ensure that the report only includes calls for which there are recordings:
Once the call has been identified, access the Call Session view by clicking on the first field of the row (usually the call Start Time).
Depending on how the system configured, their maybe one or more recordings for a call. If the call has been transferred between different users, there may be a recording for each segment.
tip
If the recording section does not appear, either the call was not recorded or you do not have permission to play it back.
Clicking on a recording's time-line will initiate the playback of the recording in the embedded media player at the bottom of the page:
The media player provides controls for pause, resume, volume and mute. To download a recording, press the download icon to the left of the volume control:
tip
You can browse away from the Call Session View and run other reports etc while still listening to the recording.
note
If using ~.Dimensions.~ on a 3CX system, recordings are not available for playback until they have been archived. Archiving is usually and overnight process.

For information on providing access for users to playback calls, refer to the user permissions section.
