The OrkWeb client is a platform to monitor, store, and manage recorded calls. It is used with the Broadsoft service.

Agent Call Recording Use

When the call recording service is added to a user, it can be configured to be Record All or Selective Record Calls.

Record All: All calls (inbound and outbound, internal and external) are automatically recorded to the system.

Selective Record Calls: In this mode, the agent must interact with their phone or soft client to turn the recording on, pause, and resume the recording.

To Start Recording the Call: Place the call on hold then enter *44. Resume the call.
To Stop Recording the Call: Place the call on hold then enter *45. Resume the call.
To Pause the Recording: Place the call on hold then enter *48. Resume the call.
To Resume Recording the Call: Place the call on hold then enter *49. Resume the call.
