Written by Sharon Drelevich

Overview

The Calls page in Alta gives you a centralized place to review all call activity.

From this page, you can see:

  • Who the call was from

  • Who the call was to

  • When the call started

  • The call status

  • Call details

  • Call summaries

  • Call recordings

  • Call transcripts

  • Call analytics

This helps your team understand call performance, review conversations, and identify important outcomes such as interested prospects.


How to Review Calls

Step 1: Go to Calls

From the left-hand side menu in Alta, click Calls.

This will open the Calls page.


Step 2: Review the Calls List

On the Calls page, you will see a list of calls with key details.

The table includes information such as:

  • Name

  • Call start time

  • Who the call was from

  • Who the call was to

  • Call status

The call status helps you understand what happened with the call.

For example, a call may show as:

  • Completed

  • Answered

  • Unanswered

  • Failed


Step 3: Open a Completed Call

To review a specific call, click into a call with the status Completed.

This will open the call details page.


Step 4: Review the Call Details

Inside the call details page, you can review information about the call.

This may include:

  • Call type

  • Call summary

  • Call recording

  • Call transcript

The call summary gives you a quick overview of what happened during the conversation.


Step 5: Listen to the Call Recording

Inside the call details page, you can listen to the call recording.

Use this when you want to review the full conversation, understand the prospect’s tone, or confirm important details from the call.


Step 6: Read the Call Transcript

You can also review the call transcript.

The transcript allows you to read the conversation without listening to the full recording.

This is useful when you want to quickly find specific information or review what was said during the call.


Filtering Calls

Step 1: Open the Filter

From the Calls page, click the Filter option.


Step 2: Filter Calls by Tags

You can filter calls by tags to quickly find specific types of conversations.

For example, if you want to see prospects who were interested, select the Interested tag.

Alta will then show calls that match that tag.


Step 3: Review the Disposition

After filtering, you can review the call disposition.

The disposition shows the outcome or category of the call.

For example:

  • Interested

  • Not Interested

  • Booked Meeting

  • No Answer

  • Failed

This helps you quickly understand call outcomes without opening every call manually.


Creating a Custom View

You can also create your own view of the Calls page.

A custom view helps you save a specific layout or filtered version of the page, so you can return to it later.

For example, you may want to create a view for:

  • Interested prospects

  • Completed calls

  • Failed calls

  • Calls that need follow-up

  • Calls from a specific campaign


Reviewing Call Analytics

Step 1: Go to Analytics

From the Calls page, go to Analytics.

This section gives you an overview of call performance.


Step 2: Review Key Call Metrics

In the Analytics section, you can see metrics such as:

  • Total calls

  • Average call time

  • Answered calls

  • Unanswered calls

  • Failed calls

These metrics help you understand overall call activity and performance.


Step 3: Review Disposition Over Time

You can also see Disposition Over Time.

This helps you understand how call outcomes are changing over time.

For example, you can track whether you are getting more interested prospects, more unanswered calls, or more failed calls.


Step 4: Review Status Over Time

You can also review Status Over Time.

This helps you understand how call statuses are trending.

For example, you can monitor:

  • Completed calls

  • Answered calls

  • Unanswered calls

  • Failed calls


Best Practices

Review Completed Calls Regularly

Completed calls include the most useful information, such as summaries, recordings, and transcripts.

Reviewing these calls can help your team understand what is working and what needs improvement.


Use Filters to Find Important Calls Faster

Instead of reviewing every call manually, use filters to focus on specific outcomes.

For example, filter by Interested to quickly find prospects who may need follow-up.


Use Call Transcripts for Quick Review

If you do not have time to listen to the full recording, review the transcript first.

This can help you quickly identify key moments in the conversation.


Monitor Analytics Over Time

Use the analytics section to track call performance and identify trends.

For example, if unanswered calls are increasing, you may want to review call timing, audience quality, or campaign setup.
