Step by step

  1. Open left menu Research → Calls (app.smartsurvafrica.com/calls). From a voice survey’s results you can also press Calls.
  2. Filter by survey (All surveys), status, kind (Every kind: we called, they called the line, call-back, simulator), dates, or Search calls (number ending, question…).
  3. Read the totals at the top: calls, completed, minutes and cost.
  4. Each row shows When, Survey, Respondent (masked), Kind, status, Reached (questions) and Cost. Simulator calls are marked Simulated.
  5. Click Open on a call: Status, Duration, Attempt, Questions reached, Minutes billed, Cost estimate, Started, Ended, Last question, the Transcript and, when recordings are kept, a Call recording player.

What you will see

  • “No calls yet” until a voice survey dials someone, someone rings the survey line, or you try a call in the Simulator.
  • Statuses such as queued, ringing, answered, completed, no answer, busy, failed and cancelled.
