Search is based on the tables that exist in your data. Tables are made of rows and columns, like spreadsheets. You can search by typing in:

• Name of data item (column): like callee, connect time, talk time 
• Special keywords: like today, yesterday, >, or contains

Click on the Data button to the left of the search field to see the list of available data items:The list of data items (columns) includes the following options:

• average duration
• callee
• caller
• connect time
• conversation id
• conversations
• direction
• domain 
• duration
• email 
• flags
• hangup
• name
• role
• serial
• service
• status 
• subject
• tags
• talk time
• time 
• total duration
• type
• wait time

Hovering a mouse over any of these items, you can see a tooltip with the following info: name, description, data source (if applicable), and data type:

1. Click Search on the top navigation bar.
   

2. Start typing your search request, using necessary data items and keywords.
   Alternatively, you can double-click on the preferred data items on the left-side panel and they are automatically added to the Search field. To add multiple items, click on the necessary items to select them and press + Add Columns:
   
   

   Note: Typing in your search query, you may notice that search items are of different colours: 

   • blue = attributes: primarily text or date values. Usually, attributes make up the x-axis of your chart. Examples: caller name, call status, etc.
   • green = measures: numeric values, e.g. duration of a call 
   • grey = filters, e.g. outbound, inbound

   
   

   
   

   3. Once your search query is ready, press Enter on keyboard, or click Go to the right of the search bar:

Your search is given an automatic title based on your search columns, and is displayed as either a table or chart, depending on how it is best represented. You can change display of the search result to fit your needs.

Example:

If you type in the search request "caller callee direction status duration today", the system returns a table with total duration of calls including information about caller, callee, direction of calls (inbound/ outbound), and call status:

Chart types -remove

Column charts

The column chart is one of simplest, yet most versatile chart types. The column chart is often the chosen default chart type, and displays data as vertical columns. Column charts are vertical bar charts that display your data using rectangular bars. The length of the bar is proportional to the data value.

Your search must have at least one attribute and one measure to be represented as a column chart.

Stacked columns

The stacked column chart is similar to the column chart, but with one major difference. It includes a legend, which divides each column into additional sections, by color.

Bar charts

The bar chart is very similar to the column chart. The only difference is that it is oriented horizontally, instead of vertically. The length of the bar is proportional to the data value.

Your search needs at least one attribute and one measure to be represented as a bar chart.

Stacked bar charts

Just like stacked columns, stacked bars combine the different secondary dimensions into a single stacked bar.

The stacked bar chart is similar to the bar chart, but it also includes a legend, which divides each bar into additional sections by color. 

Line charts

Line charts are good at showing trends over intervals of time. Like the column chart, the line chart is one of the simplest, yet most versatile. It is often chosen as default visual representation. Line charts display your data as a series of data points connected by straight line segments. The system orders the measurement points by the x-axis value.

Your search must have at least one attribute and one measure to be represented as a line chart. If your search has multiple attributes, you can slice with color to sort by the second attribute.

Pie charts

The pie chart is a classic chart type that displays your search in a circle. Pie charts divide your data into sectors that each represent a proportion of a whole circle. To display the exact values of each slice and the percentage values, select the Edit chart configuration icon > Settings > All labels.

Your search needs at least one attribute and one measure to be represented as a pie chart. Also, there must be fewer than 250 values in the attribute column.

Pie in pie charts

The pie in pie chart can be created from a regular pie chart in order to compare more than one component of an attribute. Pie in pie charts show two concentric pie charts comparing different measures.

To see a pie in pie chart, assign two different measures to the Size section under Edit chart configuration.

Scatter charts

The scatter chart is useful for finding correlations or outliers in your data. Scatter charts display your data as a collection of points, which can either be evenly or unevenly distributed. Each point is plotted based on its own axes values. This helps you determine if there is a relationship between your searched columns.

Your search needs at least one attribute and one measure to be represented as a scatter chart.

Bubble charts

The bubble chart is a variation of the scatter chart, and its data points appear as bubbles. Your search must have at least one attribute and two measures to generate a bubble chart. The bubble chart displays three to five dimensions or measures of data. In addition to the traditional X and Y axis, the size of the bubble represents a measurement. Bubble charts can show two more attributes, when you slice and/or slice by color.

Pareto charts

The pareto chart is a type of chart that contains both columns and a special type of line chart.

The individual values of a pareto chart are represented in descending order by columns, and the cumulative percent total is represented by the line. The y-axis on the left is paired with the columns, while the y-axis on the right is paired with the line. By the end of the line, the cumulative percent total reaches 100 percent.

Your search needs at least one attribute and one measure to be represented as a pareto chart.Waterfall charts

The waterfall chart shows how an initial value is affected by a series of intermediate positive or negative values. Waterfall charts are good for visualizing positive and negative growth, and therefore work well with the growth over time keyword. The columns are color-coded to distinguish between positive and negative values. Your search needs at least one attribute and one measure to be represented as a waterfall chart.

Treemap charts

The treemap chart displays hierarchical data as a set of nested rectangles.

Treemap charts use color and rectangle size to represent two measure values. Each rectangle, or branch, is a value of the attribute. Some branches can contain smaller rectangles, or sub-branches. This setup makes it possible to display a large number of items in an efficient way. You can rearrange the columns of your search into category, color, and size under Edit chart configuration.

Your search needs at least one attribute and two measures to be represented as a treemap chart.

Heatmap charts

The heatmap chart displays individual data values in a matrix following a color scale. The value of each cell depends on the measure you choose under Edit chart configuration.

Line column charts

The line column chart combines the column and line charts. Your search needs at least one attribute and two measures to be represented as a line column chart.

Line column charts display one measure as a column chart, and the other as a line chart. Each of these measures has its own y-axis.

Stacked line column charts

This chart is similar to the line column chart, except that it divides its columns with an attribute in the legend. The line stacked column chart combines stacked column and line charts. There are two y-axes, one for each measure.

Funnel chart

The funnel chart shows a process with progressively decreasing proportions amounting to 100 percent in total. You can visualize the progression of data as it passes from one phase to another. Data in each of these phases is represented as different proportions.

Your search needs at least one attribute and one measure to be represented as a funnel chart. The attribute must contain 50 or fewer values.Pivot table

Pivot tables are charts that enable you to explore an alternate visualization of your data in a wide, customizable table. With pivot tables, you can use the same table to visualize some of your data horizontally, and some data vertically. You can restructure your pivot table by dragging and dropping the measures and attributes under Edit chart configuration, or by dragging and dropping column headings on the table itself.

Sankey charts

The Sankey chart type contains both columns and a special type of line chart. Sankey diagrams illustrate a flow through, a process, or a system. When you build a Sankey chart, you must provide at least 2 (two) attributes and one measure. Your x-axis attributes can contain at most 13 values; any more and you cannot view a SanKey chart. 

Radar charts

The Radar (or spiderweb) chart contains both columns and a special type of line chart. It displays data in the form of a two-dimensional chart of three or more qualities, represented on axes that radiate from the same point.

When you build a radar chart, you must provide at least one attribute and one measure. The measure values move from smallest to largest, to the outer edge of the web. Each spoke of the web is reserved for one of the variables. The points where each value lies on the web are connected.
