Tracking your incoming calls
Using Call Log
Telephones can automatically log Call Display information for calls 
on an external line. The line must appear on that telephone but it 
does not have to be a ringing line.
If your system is equipped with the appropriate equipment and you 
have subscribed to the call information feature supplied by your 
service provider, you will be able to capture information about 
incoming callers in your call log. The same feature is supplied by an 
ISDN service package that comes with calling line identification.
Call Log creates a record of incoming external calls. For each call 
the log could contain: 
sequence number in the Call Log
name and number of the caller
indication if the call was long distance
indication if the call was answered (and identity of who 
answered it)
time and date of the call
number of repeated calls from the same source
name of the line that the call came in on
Call Log can help you to
keep track of abandoned or unanswered calls
track patterns for your callers (for example volume of calls and 
geographical location of calls)
record caller information quickly and accurately
build a personal telephone directory from log items
The long distance indicator, as well as the caller's name and 
number, may not be shown in the log, depending on the Call Display
