---------------------------------------

             Summary: Documentation: Explanation of DIALEDTIME and ANSWEREDTIME variables could be more explicit
                 Key: ASTERISK-25336
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-25336
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: None
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 13.5.0, 11.19.0
            Reporter: Rusty Newton
            Severity: Trivial


https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+13+Application_Dial

The Dial application help text reads: 

{noformat}
DIALEDTIME - This is the time from dialing a channel until when it is disconnected.
ANSWEREDTIME - This is the amount of time for actual call.
{noformat}

"when it is disconnected" 

 * Disconnected from what?

"amount of time for actual call"

 * What is an actual call?

We should rewrite these descriptions to be more explicit.

The explanations here are a bit better: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Dial+Channel+Variables

However the explanation of DIALEDTIME is still a bit overly brief. "Time for the call" could be expanded.
