CDR File Formats

The conference CDR records can be retrieved and archived in the
following two formats:
• Unformatted data – Unformatted CDR files contain multiple records
in “raw data” format. The first record in each file contains general
conference data. The remaining records contain event data, one
record for each event. Each record contains field values separated by
commas. This data can be transferred to an external program such as
Microsoft Excel© for billing purposes.
The following is a sample of an unformatted CDR file:

first section in each file contains general conference data. The
remaining sections contain event data, one section for each event.
