Filters
TIM Enterprise allows you to determine which calls are processed by a stats collector, based on each call's properties.
You must first decide whether calls will be included or excluded if the filters you specify match. You must also choose whether a single filter match is sufficient or whether all filters must match in order to include or exclude calls.
To add individual filters, click on the 
button, as shown below:
The Add new exclusion window will appear, allowing you to define which call properties you want to be included or excluded from the stats, by choosing a call property, an operator and a matching value.
