What is the first step to segment call quality information by location in the Microsoft Call Quality Dashboard?

To effectively segment call quality information by location in the Microsoft Call Quality Dashboard, the initial step is to create reporting labels in the Teams admin center. Reporting labels serve as a crucial tool for identifying and categorizing call quality data based on specific geographic locations or other relevant factors. This categorization enables administrators to analyze call performance more granularly, isolating issues and trends linked to specific areas or user groups.

This process allows for enhanced data organization which can lead to improved troubleshooting, making it easier to pinpoint the source of quality issues. By assigning unique labels to different locations, teams can quickly generate reports that reflect performance metrics based on those labels, facilitating more targeted decision-making and resource allocation.

The other options might be relevant to improving call quality or gathering information, but they do not pertain specifically to the segmentation of call quality data in the dashboard itself. For instance, running the Network Testing Companion is a valuable step for diagnosing and testing network performance, while preparing a PowerShell script for QoE (Quality of Experience) settings is useful for automation and configurations. Similarly, configuring network settings in the Teams client enhances the user's experience but does not directly relate to segmenting data by location in the context of the Call Quality Dashboard.
