Loading the database

Attendant Console stores information in a database about your company’s telephone use. This database is used to generate the different types of reports. In most cases you use the database installed on the Business Communications Manager base unit system. However, if you make backups of the database for archiving purposes, Reports can also use these backups. If you are generating reports from a PC that does not have the database stored, locate the database on the Business Communications Manager base unit through Network Neighborhood. Check with the System Administrator to ensure that the database is a shared file.

To load the database:

1On the Reports window, at the Database option, click the Select button. The Open dialog box appears.

2In the File name box, type:

\\"name of server"\consoleservicedb

where "name of server" is the name of your Business Communications Manager base unit. If you do not know the name of the server, ask your System Administrator.

3Click the Open button.

4Click ConsoleService.mdb

5Click the Open button.

The database loads to your PC and the database path appears in the Current Database box.

6Click the Close button to return to the Attendant window.

Selecting a report type

After you load a database, select the type of report.

To select a report type:

1From the Report Type list box select your report.

Setting the report period

To enter the From and To dates:
