OOMA Beta App Exported Call Log Format Issues

Post by Bobs41185 » Mon May 16, 2016 2:43 pm

The Original OOMA Classic Call Log Format was such that each piece of Field Data was padded on both the leading and trailing ends with a "space", the Fields were delimited with a TAB and the Records were Terminated with a Line Feed.

The Initial OOMA Beta App Call Log Format had Comma delimited Fields with Records Terminated with a Line Feed. Somewhere in the development of this Format the Type Field "outgoing" Calls lost the "Caller-ID Name" data and the data was replaced with a pair of Double Quotes. Also, the "Type" Field Names got changed ("Outbound" was changed to "outgoing" etc) and the Field "space" padding was lost.

The Current OOMA Beta App Call Log Format has the "Type" Field names and Field Delimiters returned to the same as the Original OOMA Classic Call Log Format. However, the Outbound "Caller-ID Name" data is still missing and the Field data is not "space padded" as the Original OOMA Classic Call Log Format. The "space padding" of the Field data is not important but the loss of the Outbound "Caller-ID Name" data is important and it would be nice to get it fixed.

========================================================================================

The first data in the record ("30" or "0:00:30") shows the Call Duration from the prior Record and the Last Data in the Record ("Inbound" or "incoming") is the Call "Type" of the next Record.

Note that the OOMA Classic App Outbound "Caller-ID Name" field is John Smith but both the OOMA Beta App CSV and TAB delimited "Caller-ID Name" Fields show a pair of double quotes - "" .
