Vodia PBX now allows users to schedule reports beyond daily intervals, supporting weekly, monthly, and quarterly options. Reports can be combined, such as “0:00/week 0:00/month,” to send both weekly and monthly reports at midnight. However, caution is needed when scheduling quarterly reports on busy systems due to performance concerns. The web interface now offers period selection for reports, such as the current or previous day, week, or month. While this simplifies report generation, large systems should be mindful of potential slowdowns when accessing large amounts of data. The "Try" button continues to generate daily reports.
A common requirement in PBX systems is to generate reports. Many of those reports are generated daily. The PBX was already offering such reports for ACD and other accounts at midnight, where “midnight” was a term that could be specified in a field where the email address for the report had to be put.
Interestingly, it was already possible to specify more than one time when the report should be generated. We are now building on that possibility and extend it beyond the day.
The old syntax just accepted the time of day (in 24-hour format) when the report should be generated. Because the PBX checks every 15 minutes, it had to be in 15-minute intervals, like 3:45. We now extended that format to accept either the weekday (“sun”, “mon”, … “sat”) or just “week” for Sunday. It is also possible to use “month” for monthly reports and “quarter” for quarterly reports.
It is also possible to combine those reports. For example “0:00/week 0:00/month” will send both weekly and monthly reports at midnight.
It should be noted here that sending out a quarterly report on very busy systems is not a good idea. This will cause the PBX to perform a table scan on all CDR records which can take minutes before that process is done.
The “Try” button will always generate daily reports.
We have taken the concept also into the web interface. The domain ACD page where you can see the agents activity now also spots a new button where you can select the period that should be reported. By default it is the current day, but you can select the previous day, the previous week (assuming that the week starts on Sunday), the current month and the previous month.
Like with the midnight CDR, you need to be careful if you have very busy systems to load the whole month of CDR. The system does limit the search to the current ACD, but if there are millions of CDR this will keep the system busy for a few seconds.
The login stat below the Agent activity and the call dropout report is always per day. This is something we might address in future versions—one of the main challenges is to display agents that use the login and logout a lot without filling up the whole screen.
Vodia was excited to attend IT Expo 2025 in Ft. Lauderdale, where Sales Engineer Eric Altman connected with industry leaders such as Tommy Lee from Fanvil, Gary Harbeck from Dinstar, Spencer Lee from Telin, Sebastian Balan from Fidelity, Todd Weikle from Soar Communications, Steve Scott from Borderless.com, and Mitch Kahl from BCM One. The discussions highlighted the role of AI in business communications, Vodia’s Microsoft Teams-certified PBX, and our integration with Realtime AI via APIs. This event followed a strategic planning session with key partners to outline Vodia’s goals for 2025. We look forward to connecting with you at future events!

ConnectPlus, a fictional call center with 150 agents and 20 support team members, faced several challenges in managing its phone systems and customer interactions. The company struggled with inefficient call routing, long wait times, and inadequate reporting, especially as it relied on Microsoft Teams for internal communication. To improve operational efficiency and enhance the customer experience, ConnectPlus sought a solution that could streamline its processes across multiple devices and platforms. Integrating Vodia’s PBX with Teams provided the ideal solution, optimizing their call handling and overall communication capabilities.
