Loading the database
Attendant Console stores information in a database about your company’s telephone use. This
database is used to generate the different types of reports. In most cases you use the database
installed on the Business Communications Manager base unit system. However, if you make
backups of the database for archiving purposes, Reports can also use these backups. If you are
generating reports from a PC that does not have the database stored, locate the database on the
Business Communications Manager base unit through Network Neighborhood. Check with the
System Administrator to ensure that the database is a shared file.
To load the database:
1 On the Reports window, at the Database option, click the Select button.
The Open dialog box appears.
2 In the File name box, type:
\\"name of server"\consoleservicedb
where "name of server" is the name of your Business Communications Manager base unit. If
you do not know the name of the server, ask your System Administrator.
3 Click the Open button.
4 Click ConsoleService.mdb
5 Click the Open button.
The database loads to your PC and the database path appears in the Current Database box.
6 Click the Close button to return to the Attendant window.
Selecting a report type
After you load a database, select the type of report.

unavailable. The report period begins on the From date and ends on and includes the To date.
To enter the From and To dates:
