Call Logs
View complete phone call records and call history, and check online for incoming calls and outbound calls on your business phone system, with RingCentral Call Logs.
What are Call Logs?
Call Logs are the summary of the call details recorded on phone calls. They could be the call's origin, date, time, and duration.
Your call logs can be saved by your phone service provider as your phone number's call history or phone call record.
Call Logging is collecting, recording phone calls, and analysing call details from your phone calls. While you can manually create call logs, many voice-over-internet-protocol (VoIP) business phone system providers can offer to automate this phone call function and store the call details for you to review later.
This way, you can maximise productivity, accurately monitor your call center's performance, and gain insights through the phone call record from call log reporting and analytics.
What data is saved in call logs?
All call data saved from your call logs serve as your phone call record history. It includes the type (e.g., phone call, fax, voicemail), activity (missed call, etc.), call duration, and date and time.
The call details do not focus on the exact phone call content. Instead, it collects and analyses your phone calls' statistical and technical data.
Some call log information recorded may include the caller ID, caller ID extension, call origin, call destination, and other transmission details such as a phone call's start and end times, even the specific network used.
