    Article Summary

    Dialpad's 'Call Volumes by Day' report offers a heatmap view of call volume patterns in contact centers. The report helps identify abnormal spikes, unusual trends, and seasonal patterns. It includes default filters for entry point calls and start time visualization. Hovering over a specific day reveals the total number of calls and the date, while clicking on a day provides a pop-up with call records such as duration, start time, disposition, and summary. The report can be downloaded with various formatting options. When combined with other features, it allows users to determine the exact timing of call influxes. The report also contains a data dictionary explaining the information and refresh rates for the data after each call.
