Managing the Call Log Information—Settings Feature The Call Log is intended to give you information that you may find useful in your job. You can work with this information in a number of ways through its Settings feature.
Setting the View: The View setting enables you to specify which columns of information are dis- played when you open your Call Log. The default view consists of the following seven columns of infor- mation: Date, Time, Type (for example, outgoing call), Party (the caller’s or called party’s name), Phone Number, Duration, and Notes.
Sorting the Call Log: The Sort setting enables you to sort your Call Log data. You can sort it by column (for example, Type) in ascending or descending order. Do the following to access the Sort setting: 1. Click on the Sort tab from the Log Settings window.
Note: The Call Log keeps the sort order that you specified. New entries are added to the Call Log, then automatically resorted. To return the Call Log to its original order, you must unsort the Call Log (by clicking on the Unsort button for the column in the Sorted Columns box).
Setting the Filter: The Call Log collects complete data about each of your calls (even if you exclude one or more columns from your view). Sometimes you will want to limit the data that is dis- played when you view the Call Log.
The sections that follow describe how to filter the Date, Party, Phone Number, Time, Type, and Notes columns. Note: Unlike the Sort setting, you can use multiple Filter settings to refine the data you want as your output. For example, you can include three columns in the Filtered Columns box.
Filtering the Type Column: If you are filtering the Type column, the Edit Filter box displays the Filter Type box (see Figure 39), with the following call types: ¹ Incoming calls ¹ Outgoing calls ¹ Missed calls ¹ Incoming and outgoing calls ¹ Incoming and missed calls ¹ Outgoing and missed calls Do the following to filter the Type column: 1.

Filtering the Party Column: If you are filtering the Party column, the Edit Filter box displays the Filter Party box (see Figure 42). Do the following to filter the Party column: 1. Enter the name in the Filter box. The name should be entered as shown in the Call Log.
Filtering the Phone Number Column: If you are filtering the Phone Number column, the Edit Filter box displays the Filter Phone Number box (see Figure 43). Do the following to filter the Phone Number column: 1. Enter the phone number in the Filter box.
Filtering the Notes Column: If you are filtering the Notes column, the Edit Filter box displays the Filter Notes box (see Figure 44). Do the following to filter the Notes column: 1. Enter the description of the note in the Filter box. The description should match the descriptions entered in the CCWin Notes window.
Using the View, Sort, and Filter Settings Together You can use the view, sort, and filter settings together to further refine the output shown in your Call Log. For example: ¹ Use the view feature to exclude all columns except for Party, Date, and Time.
Setting the Overflow: The Overflow setting enables you to specify the maximum number of Call Log entries that you want logged on an ongoing basis. This number is the overflow threshold. You can also specify a file, the overflow file, to store any entries that exceed the maximum number.
CallCoordinator for Windows logs entries up to the number specified as the overflow threshold. The first overflow entry causes the first half of the logged entries to be sent to the overflow file. For example, if 100 entries is the specified limit, then the 101st entry will force entries 1 through 50 to the overflow file.
Setting the Toolbar: CallCoordinator for Windows enables you to customize the toolbar in your Call Log window. Your choices are as follows: ¹ No toolbar ¹ Icon and text toolbar ¹ Icon only toolbar ¹ Text only toolbar Do the following to set the toolbar for the Call Log window: 1.
