Building a Wallboard

Requires Realtime License

Realtime Stats are commonly referred to as Wallboards or Canvases. The wallboards allow you to see the activity of your groups and users in Realtime, without a refresh rate. This is done by a series of widgets that you can customize to reflect your specific needs. The wallboards provide you the option to build your own wallboard from the ground up, or you can use a pre-built wallboard template provided to you upon accessing the wallboards.

Building a wallboard

Building your own wallboard can seem overwhelming, but is not super difficult. To build your wallboard:

  1. Select Realtime Displays on the Chronicall main menu
  2. Select Realtime Stats

If you have never accessed the wallboards, a window will appear displaying your wallboard template options.

You can either start by Using Pre-built Wallboards, or you can build your own.

To build your own, start by selecting the "Blank" option.

This will open up a blank wallboard.

When creating a wallboard, it is not necessary to build a background. However, you are welcome to be as creative as you'd like. If you prefer to have a background image in your wallboard, select the pencil tool in the top, right-hand corner of the the wallboard.

The wallboard parameters will appear.

  4. Once Queued Calls has been selected, to the right, there will be three parameters you will need to fill in.
  • Time Frame
  • Calculation
  • Group/Queue

Time Frame: Time Frame allows you to select from three different options. I can select to see how many calls have been/are in queue:

Since - This will show how many calls have been in the queue since a specific time time of day. (Resets every twenty four hours)
Last - This will show how many calls have been in the queue in the last specified amount of time (i.e., two hours, thirty minutes, four hours and twenty seven minutes, etc.)
Now - This is a live event, meaning that it will display how many calls are in queue right now

788

Select "Now" and hit "OK"

Calculation: The calculation option will vary based upon the value that is being used, the time frame in question, and upon the value folder. (Counts, durations, etc.)

For Queued Calls, you'll have two options:

  • Count - Shows the actual number of calls in the queue
  • True/False - True = Calls in Queue. False = No calls in Queue

For this scenario, select "Count", the hit "OK"

792

Group/Queue: This parameter is used to select the specific Hunt/Work groups you'd like to monitor. You can select one group which will show you calculations for that group only. You can also select multiple groups. This will give you a collective total.

For this scenario, select the desired Realtime groups that you would like to monitor, and hit "OK".

386

Once you've filled in those three parameters, you can hit "OK" again and that will take you back to the Properties window hit "Apply" and you'll have your widget.
