    SA8201 - Start Time and 4-Digit Year CDR Custom Fields

    This feature provides the user with the capability to customize the CDR (Call Description Record) using five new keywords. These five new keywords allow the user to add start date and end date in one of two formats: either DDMMYY or DDMMYYYY format and to add start time and end time in HHMMSS format.
