Ending Notes and Details
The Dynamic Field Report will show fax failures while other reports may not, such as the Fax Lookup report.
Summarizing the types of reports:
Call Metrics relays the fax status of outbound fax attempts.
Fax Transactions relays inbound/outbound transactions, their timestamps, to and from calling numbers, Job IDs and more. A summary view can also be generated for easy analysis; however, it is not geared towards transactions related to the Endpoints section but instead with account-level API connections.
International Faxes lists the transactions, inbound or outbound, that traversed internationally.
Device Transactions lists transactions, inbound or outbound, as they pertain to the devices on an account. Applications that are managed in the portal, such as DirectFax for Microsoft Teams, will show activity in this report.
Fax Lookup allows for searching based on a Job ID, Calling To #, Calling From # or a Tag. This report does not reveal faxes with errors.
Pages by DID lists the number of Pages Received and Faxes Received for the route(s) on an account. Toggling the Include DIDs with No Activity option will allow one to view all DIDs regardless of activity.
Pages by Tag is not revealing for those not utilizing tags. This is common in EHR systems or the like that keep internal records, using an internal naming convention that is appended upon outbound fax transmissions.
Portal Login History lists portal user login history to the account along with a timestamp and the IP address associated to the sign in.
SEN Transactions detail faxing that is taking place where both the sender and recipient are faxing entirely through the etherFAX, never leaving the etherFAX network.
Avg Queue Length reveals the average time a fax is received to the account and when it is subsequently downloaded.
Dynamic Field Report allows for a comprehensive inbound or outbound report that is more detailed than that of any of the other reports.
