- Keep in mind, the default setting in Chronicall will wait 8 hours before putting the call in Cradle to Grave
- This is because it wants to avoid unassociated recordings, and will wait to try and find the best match. In this regard, it is helpful to refer to the previous day when troubleshooting unassociated recordings
- Chronicall associates recordings with calls via metadata it receives from the phone system. If there is a time difference of more than a few seconds between the Chronicall and PBX server, or the Chronicall and Recording Library server, it can cause the recordings to show on their own line in the database. This is the most common cause of unassociated recordings.
