Abstract

A graphical user interface for displaying status reports based on call performance data of a telecommunications system is disclosed. The graphical user interface comprises a first selector for selecting one of a plurality of status reports and a second selector for selecting at least one field class. The selected field class is used to sort the selected status report. The graphical user interface also includes a window for displaying the selected status report sorted by the selected field class.

Claims

1. A graphical user interface for displaying status reports based on call performance data of a telecommunications system comprising:

a first selector for selecting a status report;

a second selector for selecting at least one field class; and

a window for displaying the selected status report sorted by the selected field class.

2. The graphical user interface of claim 1, further comprising a third selector for selecting a number of items to display in the status report, wherein the call performance data comprises a plurality of items and wherein the number of items selected by the third selector comprises a set of the plurality of items.

3. The graphical user interface of claim 1, wherein the selected field class is associated with the selected status report.

4. The graphical user interface of claim 1, wherein the first and second selectors comprise drop down lists.

5. The graphical user interface of claim 1, wherein the second selector comprises a menu list of most recently used field classes.

6. The graphical user interface of claim 1, wherein the second selector comprises a menu list of most frequently used field classes.

7. The graphical user interface of claim 1, further comprising a first text field requiring data input, the first text field being associated with one of the field classes.

8. The graphical user interface of claim 7, further comprising a second text field requiring data input, the second text field being associated with a time period.

9. The graphical user interface of claim 1, further comprising a form having at least one field requiring data input, the field being associated with one of the field classes.

10. The graphical user interface of claim 1, wherein the graphical user interface is for a mobile computing system.

11. The graphical user interface of claim 10, wherein the mobile computing system is a personal digital assistant.

12. The graphical user interface of claim 10, wherein the mobile computing device includes a means for wireless communication.

13. The graphical user interface of claim 12, further comprising:

a first text field requiring data input, the first text field being associated with an address for communicating with a computing device;

a second text field requiring data input, the second text field being associated with a user name for communicating with the computing device; and

a third text field requiring data input, the third text field being associated with a user password for communicating with the computing device.

14. A method for displaying status reports on a computer system based on call performance data of a telecommunications system comprising the steps of:

displaying a first selector on the display screen of the computer system for selecting one of at least one status report;

displaying a second selector for selecting at least one field class, whereby the selected status report is sorted by the selected field class; and

determining a user has selected an item from the displayed first and second selectors, whereby the selected status report sorted by the selected field class is displayed.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the first and second selectors comprise dropdown lists.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising the step of displaying a third selector for selecting a number of items to display in the status report, wherein the call performance data comprises a plurality of items and wherein the number of items comprises a set of items of the plurality of items.

17. The method of claim 14, the form having at least one field associated with a field class and requiring data entry by a user.

18. The method of claim 14, wherein the step of displaying the second selector comprises displaying a menu list of most recently and frequently used field classes.

19. The method of claim 14, further comprising the steps of:

displaying a first text field requiring data input, the first text field being associated with one of the field classes; and

displaying a second text field requiring data input, the second text field being associated with a time period.

20. The method of claim 14, wherein the computer system comprises a mobile computing system.

21. The method of claim 20, wherein the mobile computing system includes a means for wireless communication.

22. A computer-readable medium having computer executable instruction for:

displaying a first selector on the display screen of the computer system for selecting one of at least one status report;

displaying a second selector for selecting at least one field class, whereby the selected status report is sorted by the selected field class; and

determining a user has selected an item from the displayed first and second selectors, whereby the selected status report sorted by the selected field class is displayed.
