JCall Reporting
This program will provide a way for a school to view all calls/emails/texts generated by the JCALL system. It is much simpler with the data it shows from the JComm Call Overview Report. It will break down the calls/emails and show who created the message, when it was created, when it was scheduled to be delivered, the type of the call, and how many calls were processed. Clicking on the row will provide a graphical breakdown of the messages and how many were delivered, unanswered, and machine answered.
Menu Location
On the left navigation panel, select Communication > Counts > JCall Reporting.

Year - Defaults to the current year. A prior year may be accessed by clicking in the field and making the appropriate selection from the drop down list.
District - Default value is based on the user's security settings. It will be limited to their district only.
School - Default value is based on the user's security settings. If the user is assigned to a school, the school default value will be their school site code.
Arena - Select the arena to view in the report. GR - Group Events, AT - attendance, GR - grades, DI - discipline, EV - event, ST - Staff and also GE which works slightly different from the other arenas.
- GE - Reflects messages generated to students by teachers via mobile.
Select Student - Click in box to select students.
Select Staff - Click in box to select staff member(s).
From Date and To Date - A set of dates that limits the selection of records for the report to a beginning date (from) and an ending date (to) range.

Main
Column Headers
Schedule Date - The date the message was scheduled to be delivered.
Create Date - The date the message was created.
Created By - The person or program that created the message.
Title - Title of the call being made.
Call Description - A short description of the call being made (Usually only applies to event calls).
Arena - The category that a message is associated with. AT = Attendance, DI = Discipline, GR = Grades, EV = Events, ST = Staff and GE = Group Events.
Code - Arenas are then broken into numerical subcategories. i.e. AT014 is a tardy attendance call.
Call Type - This field denotes whether the message is Text To Voice, Voice Recorded, SMS Text Message or Email.
Voice ID - Voice recorded ID number.
Calls Processed - The number of messages processed and sent out. Click on the number to view the students who were called and other details.
- Calls may be listed with zero calls processed. This may be because the calls have not been completed or because the district has blocked that type of call from being delivered. Check Communication Configuration settings.
- An example of the Status column would be Expired which means that the call did not have enough time to go out before the Stop time expired. The Stop time would be indicated in the Communication Configuration settings.
- For text messages only, if the status is DNS (Do Not Send), then the customer typed in "Block" when a text message was previously received so now they are blocked. Now the carrier is automatically blocking SMS messages from broadcast numbers using a 5 digit number. This can only be resolved by sending an "unblock" text or contacting the carrier directly and making sure nothing is being blocked. Then contact us to also have blocks undone from our provider.
- Example: Removing the DNS block is a 2 step process.
- First, the owner of the phone number needs to text the word START to 95664 to resubscribe to text messages.
- Then send JCampus a list of the DNS numbers that need to be unblocked, so JCampus can forward that information to the call/text provider so that they can remove the block on their end as well.
- Once both steps are complete, the text messages should start going through again.
Anything marked as a duplicate means it has already tried to send that message to that same number. DNS Duplicate means a duplicate of a number for Do Not Send that has already been called. Machine (voice mail or answering machine) Duplicate means a duplicate of a number for Machine that has already been called.
- The drop-down report will now allow the actual message to wrap, allowing the user to review the entire message.
