3. On the Observer pages, added information about the predicted time interval before receiving information about a new call.
4. Added a new widget for the dashboard, showing the time elapsed since receiving information about the last processed call.

12. Fixed sorting of view data when applying grouping.
13. Fixed call rating. If the dialing code that was used in the call is absent in the Tariscope database or it does not have an assigned rate, then the rate assigned to a similar code, but with a smaller number of digits, is applied.
For example, if the dialed number used the code 380057, and a rate has not been assigned this code, then the rate assigned to the code 380 will be applied.

When the switch is enabled, the EffectiveCallDuration field is used, which includes only the call duration. Depending on whether your CDR has data in the EffectiveCallDuration field, you should enable or disable this switch.
2. In settings of S3000 (Iskratel) the Processing taking into account the number plan switch was added. It should be enabled when AMA files contain transit calls of subscribers. That means the subscribers are on another telephone system.

1. When creating a new call view to set data filtering options, the possibility of multiple choice for the call source and call purpose has been added:

1.1. Independent group. Each task in the group will be launched without analyzing the result of completing the previous task in the group.
1.2. Dependent Group. Each task in the group will be launched only if the previous task was successfully completed.
1.3. Independent group with feedback. Starting tasks in a group is similar to option 1.1, but if any task was unsuccessful, an attempt will be made to execute it again.
 The number of attempts to complete tasks is configurable. If all attempts are exhausted, but the task was never completed successfully, then the next task in the list will still be launched.
1.4. Dependent group with feedback. This group is similar to option 1.3, but if execution attempts are exhausted and the task was not completed successfully, then the next task in the list will not be executed. The execution chain stops.

To set the location of this folder, select Advanced options → Database info → "Tariscope temp folder" button on the toolbar.

  If it is set to change the call type for this route to internal, then the call is charged as internal. Otherwise, the call is charged as before at the rates of the provider specified for this route.

1. A new widget has been developed that allows you to monitor the current status of Tariscope Observer services.
2. A new integration was added to Tariscope. A CDR file from a 3CX Phone System provides calls information on a transfer call in one line with a total call duration for all its participants. Such information does not allow you to analyze how much each of the participants of the transfer call spoke with the subscriber. Now Tariscope system can receive such data from 3CX that provides complete information about transfer calls.
3. Fixed some errors in localization.
4. Fixed widget settings for missed calls.
5. The error related to the configuration of route parameters has been fixed. It was not possible to reset the access code for the route.

7. Report generation fixed. Previously, if the report had an optional parameter, the subscriber ID, and it was not set, then the report was not generated.

Remote Tariscope Observers can be located on any PC running Windows 10, 8.1, 8, Server 2016, 2019, which has a connection with the PC where Tariscope Web Administrator was installed. The following modes of work with the Remote Observer have been created:
