SIP Maps provides a graphical representation of calling activity by either calling country or called country. This can help quickly get a sense of the graphical distribution of call counts and accumulated fraud scores
Here’s a list of terms used in SIP Maps and explanations of what they mean:
- Filters - selection criteria used to filter output to a subset of the available data
- Map Type - used to select the background map of either the word, the US, or Canada (more maps to come)
- Independent Variable - indicates whether the countries/locations are either the Calling Country/Location or the Called Country/Location
- Dependent Variable - determines the numeric value to be summed for each country/location, which can be either fraud scores or a wide variety of call counts
Sometimes the map display might be too large for the browser. If the mouse is hovered over the map, use the mouse scroll wheel to change the zoom level. Scroll up to zoom in, scroll down to zoom out. Left click on the map and drag it around the screen to pan across the map..
SIP Maps Options
Date Selection
As with other ClearIP analytics functions, the top-left of the SIP Charts screen provides options for date/time range selection. (See date/time range selection for more information.) The default initial view shows data for a rolling hour. ClearIP retains 14 weeks of history, and old data rolls out of the system automatically.
Filters
Filters can be used to enter data selection criteria.
In the Filter Value field, it is possible to select from a drop-down list of values or begin typing the value desired. While typing, the drop-down list will show just the values that match what’s been typed.
It’s possible to enter more than one filter. For more than one filter, the Filter Operator will determine how the filters are used. If the Filter Operator is And, only records that match all the filters will be selected. If the Filter Operator is Or, records will be selected if they match at least one of the filters.
ClearIP does not support using multiple filters with a mixture of And and Or Filter Operators.
Map Type
Select map type of either Word, USA or Canada.
Independent Variable
Choose an independent variable type of either Calling Country/Location or Called Country/Location.
Dependent Variable
Choose a numeric value to display in the map. There is a a wide variety of call counts available for viewing, as well as fraud scores.
