At the top of the screen, you can choose Calls Made this is your call history hub. You can see who you called, at what time and how long the call lasted.
At the top right of the screen you can see a filter icon. When you tap this icon, you can filter how you view your call history.
Back to the main Reports screen, you can also look at the Avg (Average) Duration of calls. This breaks down how long your calls typically last. You can view it in graph and table form.
But the categories don’t stop there. Going back to the main screen of your Reports, you can see your custom reports. Let’s take a look at each one:
Call Events
This category will show you what your callers are doing when they call your Ninja Number.
You can view by graph and by table. The categories are broken down by Hangup, Request Call Transfer, Call Transfer, Left Message (which is voicemail) or SMS.

The owner of Catch My Drift Snowplowing viewed his Call Events and saw that he was getting a lot of hang ups. He realized that a lot of people were not willing to leave a message, so he decided to sign up for Live Ninja On-Demand, so that when he and his team couldn’t answer the calls, a live Ninja Operator was standing by to take a message, providing Catch My Drift Snowplowing customers and leads the personal attention they were looking for.
