Call List Views are used to group your calls based on a defined set of criteria. For example, you can see a list of the calls that were missed, completed or are due today. Besides these, you can use the call list views to change a call's owner, update two or more calls, or export the call list to a CSV file.
Zoho Desk provides you with a list of pre-defined call views that can be used out of the box. You can also create custom call views according to your requirements. Likewise, administrators can create shared call views that can be accessed by all of the agents in your Help Desk.
