Export recordings

Backup

 

The Apresa can export its recordings to a network drive. This functionality is similar to Backup, but it has the following differences:

The call information is stored as an XML file

The data cannot be loaded back into the Apresa. If this is important, use Backup instead.

The files are stored in the root of the export directory, not in subdirectories.

 

Export recordings: There are three options: Never, At request, Always. "At request" means that the recording is only exported if marked as such during the call using the Apresa API.

From: Use this option to reset the export to the beginning, or to let it export only new recordings (skip any in between), when that is needed.

Filter: Only export recordings of the selected group, that is, if the telephone number of the call matches with the telephone number of one of the users in the selected group.

Filename: Optionally specify a custom file name formatting used in the export.

Export XML: If enabled, information about the call (telephone number etc.) will be stored in an XML file, alongside the recording files. The XML file has the same file name as the recording, except another extension.

Include custom directory information in XML: This will write the specified directory, together with the filename, in the XML file.

Verify telephone number: This is a custom feature, not intended for general use (by default it is off).

Export screen recordings: If disabled, then the screen recordings will not be exported.

Delay export if no screen recording is yet available: This will delay the export of recordings for which the screen recording is not yet uploaded by Apresa Client. If the screen recording is not available after 60 seconds, the recording is exported without.

Delay export: This will delay export of recordings until the number of specified minutes after the end of the call. In the mean time, the notes or category of the recording could be edited, and this will be reflected in the delayed export.

 

The export destination options are described on the Backup page.

 

Special options not needed for normal use

Include custom directory information in XML: If enabled, the XML data will contain a tag with this custom directory information, followed by the wave file name. For example C:\data\20140424_145959_o9413.wav. The underlined text (C:\data\) is the text that should be entered in this option to get this effect.

Verify telephone number.
