Customised pascom Analytics

After you have familiarized yourself with the basics of pascom Analytics you can use this chapter to learn here how you to make your own adjustments.

Overview

You can only customize database queries. The data sources for Live Dashboards are statically generated by pascom.

With pascom Analytics you can create not only your own dashboard with existing graphs but also customize the underlying data sources.

The requirement for this is that you are familiar with the basics of pascom Analytics and SQL.

Getting Started

The easiest way of understanding the SQL queries used is simply to edit existing graphs. First copy an existing dashboard (see Create Edit Custom Dashboards). Then you can edit graphs and tables and adjust the SQl.

Click on any graph or tablet on :

pascom Analytics Edit graph

Now you can adapt and test the SQL:

pascom Analytics Graph Details

Further information, in particular on variables, can be found in the editor under .

The database used is PostgreSQL. Information about PostgreSQL in connection with Grafana (Analytics Tool used by pascom) can be found here Using PostgreSQL in Grafana.

SQL functions

pascom provides SQL functions for querying data. Similar to tables, these can be used in SQL queries.

filter_calls ()

This function returns all completed calls. Active calls i.e. live calls that are ongoing at the time the query is made are not included in the filter.

Parameters

filter_calls (
    from_timestamp,
    to_timestamp,
    call_type,
    filter_user,
    filter_label,
    filter_from_name,
    filter_from_number,
    filter_to_name,
    filter_to_number
)
Parameters Description
from_timestamp Calls from this specific time. Usually the dasboard variable $__timeFrom() for the selected period.
to_timestamp Calls up to this point. Usually the dashboard variable $__timeTo() for the selected period.
call_type Possible values: all = all calls, inbound = only incoming calls, outbound = only outgoing calls, internal = only internal calls
filter_user Filter by username (not display name). * = All users. Multiple users per comma-separated list possible e.g. ‘user1, user2’.
filter_label Filter by label name. * = All labels. Multiple labels per comma separated list possible e.g. ‘label1, label2’.
filter_from_name Filter by caller name. Display name of the caller, e.g. from the phone book if available. Leave the parameter empty in order not to apply a filter.
filter_from_number Filter by caller number. Leave the parameter empty in order not to apply a filter.
filter_to_name Filter by called name. Display name of the called party, e.g. from the phone book if available. Leave the parameter empty in order not to apply a filter.
filter_to_number Filter by called number. Leave the parameter empty in order not to apply a filter.

SQL tables

mdphonecallrecord

In mdphonecallrecord every single step that a call takes through the pascom phone system is saved. A call therefore creates many entries in the mdphonecallrecord. The individual entries are linked to a call via the phonecallrecord_chain field.

In the main, please only use the SQL functions offered by pascom and only access this table if needed for any details.

Example attended transfer

Attended Transfer

In the mdphonecallrecord an entry is created for each step.

As a step, we mean every object in pascom that can be reached via an extension.

In our example, the call flow is as follows:

  • Caller calls user A directly (101)
  • User A puts caller on hold and calls user B (102)
  • User A connects caller to user B (102)

The sample call flow therefore creates three entries in the database (only excerpts):

Field name (phonecallrecord_) Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
id 1 2 3
timestamp 2020-04-03 12:47:32 2020-04-03 12:47:56 2020-04-03 12:48:13
srcnumber 004989123123 101 004989123123
dstname User A User B User B
dstnumber 101 102 102
parentid 1 2
chain 158589 9721877_10 158589 9721877_10 158589 9721877_10
result transfer transfer hangup
result details dst src
via transfer
viadetails
duration 41 16 18
connected 29 12 18
holdduration 16 0 0

The following can be seen from the data:

  • The caller spoke to user A for 13 seconds (connected - holdduration)
  • User A spoke to user B for 12 seconds and then transferred the caller to user B.
  • User A called user B for 4 seconds (duration - connected) before he answered

Example Call via a IVR / Team

Call flow example

In the mdphonecallrecord an entry is created for each step.

As a step, we mean every object in pascom that can be reached via an extension.

In our example, the call flow is as follows:

  • Caller is prompted to select a team in IVR menu and chooses 1 (501)
  • The team greets the caller with an announcement and calls the members in parallel (201)
  • User A is called and does not answer the call (101)
  • User B is called and answers the call (102)

The example call flow therefore creates four entries in the database (only excerpts):

Field name (phonecallrecord_) Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4
id 1 2 3 4
timestamp 2020-04-03 09:42:13 2020-04-03 09:42:17 2020-04-03 09:42:19 2020-04-03 09:42:19
srcnumber 004989123123 004989123123 004989123123 004989123123
dstname IVR Team User A User B
dstnumber 501 201 101 102
parentid 1 1 1
chain 158589 9721877_10 158589 9721877_10 158589 9721877_10 158589 9721877_10
result transfer hangup noanswer hangup
result details dst caller elsewhere caller
via queue queue queue
viadetails caller agent agent
duration 4 33 10 30
connected 0 20 0 20
holdduration 0 6 0 6

The following can be seen from the data:

  • Steps 2 to 4 run in parallel. This is recognizable by the same parentid.
  • The team (step 2) runs until the call has been processed by a user.
  • The total duration of the call is therefore the duration of step 1 and step 2, i.e. 37 seconds.
  • User A and user B were called in parallel (see timestamp).
  • For user A, the call rang for 10 seconds but was not answered (duration - connected = 10).
  • User B answered the call after 10 seconds (duration - connected = 10) and spoke for 20 seconds.
  • User B put the caller on hold for 6 seconds.
