Active Panel-Calls: Live Call Monitoring & Quick Actions

Active Panel-Calls: Live Call Monitoring & Quick Actions

Open Active Panel-Calls to check live call counters and extension status. Learn how monitoring, conference and transfer options work when a call is active and your permissions allow them.

How to open the Active Panel from the Dashboard

  1. Log in to your Zonitel Office portal: office.zonitel.com

  2. Go to Calls and look for the Active Panel Calls.

  3. Click Active Panel-Calls to open the live view.

Open Calls and select Active Panel-Calls.

If you do not see this option in the menu, ask your administrator to check your user access.

Tip: Use Lock layout to keep your tiles in a fixed order, or Reset to restore the default arrangement.

What you will see on Active Panel-Calls

1) Live counters (top section)

These counters summarize activity at a glance:

  • Active Calls: calls happening right now

  • Total Calls: total calls tracked in the panel (time range depends on your setup)

  • Inbound / Outbound: direction breakdown

  • Missed: calls not answered

2) User/Extension tiles

Each tile usually shows:

  • User name + extension number (This name comes from the internal caller ID name on the extension's setting)

  • Status (example: ONLINE, OFFLINE, RINGING, ANSWERED, HANGUP)

  • Call type (inbound or outbound when active)

  • Caller/number info (when available)

  • Time (how long the call has been active)

Idle panel: zero active calls and Offline extensions, without personal names.

Statuses explained

  • ONLINE: available to receive calls

  • OFFLINE: not available (logged out, disconnected, or not registered)

  • RINGING: receiving a call right now

  • ANSWERED: currently on a call

  • HANGUP: the call has just ended

Tip: Focus on RINGING tiles to prevent missed calls, and use ONLINE tiles to find each available teammate.

Everything you can do from the Active Panel when a call is active or in an answered status

These actions require an active call and the appropriate permissions. When no calls are active, there is no call on which to use these options.
