How Platan Call Monitor works
Users have three logging options (according to the licences granted): as Agent, Manager and the preview of Table:
Login to Platan Call Monitor
Agent view
After logging in as Agent a user can see for the current day how many group calls:
- he or she answered,
- are to be returned (noone called back),
- were directed to the group,
- are currently in a queue.
Below the tiles Agent can see a detailed call list with caller's number, the description (if it is available in a PBX global phonebook), precise call time, information about who answered the call or who called back. The last column shows a graphic call status (answered, missed, returned). The calls may be filtered (all, returned, not returned) to easily find the numbers that require the answer:
Calls of a current day (Agent view)
To facilitate calling back the numbers displayed in web browsers, we reccomend the Platan Click2Call plug-in. The numbers are automatically changed into active hyperlinks. One click and the PBX dials such number to let the Agent quickly call back.
In the second tab Agent can see the group calls history:

In the third tab Agent can see current statuses of other group(s) members. In the upper right corner the Agent has always his/her current status in a given group and can change it. When both offline status (logging out from the Hunt Group(s)) or the temporary unavailability (break, meeting, holiday etc.) are set the PBX server does not direct calls to this person, and Agent is excluded from the defined call distribution within a group:

Manager view
A Manager's duty is to monitor the subordinates' work, so he/she can see mainly the work summary of both every agent and Hunt Group(s). The Manager does not see the list of calls (callers' numbers or call times).
Statistics for Manager in Platan Call Monitor
Additionally, having clicked the Currently in queue field, Manager has the information about calls (numbers and descriptions if present in the global phonebook) waiting currently in queue with their waiting times (new!).
Preview of calls in queue (Manager view)
In the second tab Manager can see detailed call history with call statuses (answered, returned with success, returned unaswered, missed, abandoned) with the information who answered every call and which calls remain to be called back.
Detailed call history with call statuses in Manager's view
In the third tab Manager has access to the reports for Hunt Groups and time periods:
- average number of calls in queue (hourly), showing which position on average had in queue a new caller - so the Manager can see when the agents are most occupied and queues are the longest,
- average number of calls per queue (hourly),
- average waiting time in a queue (hourly)
- number of abandoned calls (when caller gave up waiting for connection)
- agent activity (total time of logging into the Hunt Group and individual statuses).

Summary of Agent activity in a given period
Manager can also analyse at what level of infolines (IVR) callers gave up waiting:
Abandoned calls - levels of IVR
All or selected reports Manager can export to the .xls file:

Note: Manager can monitor the work of different Hunt Groups' members whether they have the Agent licences in Platan Call Monitor or not.
The last tab (Status) shows, just like in the Agent view, current Agent statuses (members of a given Hunt Group).
Table view
The third type of displayed information is Table. It shows current group statistics of a given day:
- number of calls answered by the group,
- missed calls that were not returned,
- missed calls that were returned by someone from the group,
- abandoned calls (caller gave up waiting),
- average time to pick up,
- number of all calls directed to the group.
Table is a perfect tool to monitor current activities and efficiency of groups answering calls, it can add an element of rivality among agents, that will promote the better customer service. Legible table tiles look perfectly on big screen hung in an open space where they are visible for everyone.
