Remarks

DTA allows you to play back recordings that were recorded in a third-party tool outside storm, such as in a CRM system, and which are not associated with calls made or received in DTA. Such recordings are displayed in a separate panel titled 'Call History' (not shown), instead of in the Comms panel. The Call History panel displays the same information and recording playback controls as seen in the Call Details section of the Comms panel.
