Description

Query Interval Start/End Time

This tool is designed to define a date-time interval in a few easy steps. Once the start date-time of a conversation falls into the given interval, it will be displayed:

The selected date is displayed in red and can be adjusted using the following controls:

Date selection:

  • Use the <<  and  >> buttons to select the year
  • Use the <  and  > buttons to select the month

Hold the left mouse button on any of the buttons for faster selection

Time selection:

  • Click on any of the time digits to increase the value
  • Shift-click to decrease the value
  • Click and drag for faster selection

Since all date and time values are stored in UTC/GMT (Universal Coordinated Time), the displayed date and time values depend on the time-zone setting of the user. You can override this setting by selecting another time-zone on the Advanced Search Options tab

Phone Number (From or To Party)

The phone number of the caller or the called party can be entered here.

This field uses an auto-complete feature to list the matching registered numbers in a drop-down menu as you type. Any other number can be entered, however, the auto-completion only works for registered numbers.

UserThis field also uses the auto-complete feature to list the matching registered Verba users in a drop-down menu as you type. Any other username can be entered here, however, the auto-completion only works for registered Verba users.

To see what type of filtering criteria can be used with most of these options, refer to the Search filter operators article.

You can define as many search criteria as you wish. The search field values are linked with a logical AND. Therefore only those conversations will be listed that meet all of the search criteria.

If all of the search fields are empty, every recorded conversation will be listed in the defined time range.

Metadata and Markers

As previously described, Verba allows the use of group-specific metadata templates. Depending on the user configuration, each user is a member of one or more groups. When a user is logged into the Verba Web Application, the user can use any of those comment templates for searching or adding new comments, which are defined for those groups the user belongs to.
