# Half Hourly Reporting Intervals

With Natterbox, you have the capability to generate call reports at hourly intervals (group by the **Hour** field). Should you require reports at half-hourly intervals, this guide enables you to do so. You must create a new field in the Call Reporting object. Follow these steps to achieve this:

### Creating a New Field

1. Click the Setup cog ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c81c490c-daaa-4ebd-a3c3-1a2dee8b7617/Images/Documentation/12.1.1.-reporting-gates-image-bad8wfmp.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-12T06%3A32%3A07Z&se=2026-10-12T07%3A32%3A07Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=%2B8XTMDFIDV%2F0BCQ94YE8HFS4M%2BuToTckirk0pjXrnZw%3D) in the top right and then go to the 'Object Manager'.
2. Search for ‘Call Reporting’ and then click ‘Fields & Relationships’.
3. Now, click ‘New’ to create a new field
4. Step 1. Choose the field type
  1. Data Type = Formula

  2. Field Name = *autopopulates*
  3. Formula Return Type = Text
  4. Next
6. Step 3. Enter formula
  1. Formula = *IF(*

*MINUTE(TIMEVALUE(nbavs__From_Start_Time__c)) > 30,*

*IF(*

*nbavs__Hour__c < 10,*

*"0" & TEXT(nbavs__Hour__c),*

*TEXT(nbavs__Hour__c)*

*) & ":30-59",*

*IF(*

*nbavs__Hour__c < 10,*

*"0" & TEXT(nbavs__Hour__c),*

*TEXT(nbavs__Hour__c)*

*) & ":0-29"*

*)*
  2. Enter a description or help text if you would like
  3. Leave everything else as default

### Building a Report

Head to reports and create a new report…

- Report type = Call Reporting
- Show Me = All call reporting
- Change date to **Call Reporting: Created Date** = *desired time frame*
- Filter on **Call Direction** = “Inbound” and “Outbound”
- Group by the new field created above: **Half Hour Intervals**
- Toggle off 'Detail Rows'
- That would create a report something like this (with a chart):

Or without a chart:

*Please note: if you are seeing the Hour field being an hour before or after the expected time (as a result of summer time changes), please* [*use this guide*](/v1/docs/resetting-gmt-offset-in-configuration-files) *to correct the discrepancy.*
