Verba Conversation Import
The Conversation Import scans a given local or remote folder hierarchy for formerly exported calls with a valid Verba XML conversation detail record (CDR) file. Conversations without valid XML CDR files are discarded.
Creating a Verba Import source
Follow the steps below to create a new Verba Import source for Verba conversation data:
Step 1 - Open the Verba Web interface then select Data > Import Sources from the top menu
Step 2 - Click on the Add New Import Source link on the top right
Step 3Â - Complete the configuration according to the requirements in the following table
Configuration item | Description |
---|---|
Name | Name your import source. This name will identify this source across the system |
Type | Select Verba |
Source folder | Specify the network path to the shared folder where the Verba conversations are available for import. The original Year / Month / Day folder structure is required. |
Step 4 - Click Save to save the settings
Please note that the content of the Source Folder will be deleted after the successful import. Therefore, the Source Folder cannot match any of the Verba storage targets or the media folders! It is highly recommended to create a temporary folder for the calls which has to be imported.
