<h4>Filter call information</h4>

<img class="screenshot border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/filter_screen.png" alt="Phone bill" />

<p>You have the option of filtering the information, based on a number of call filters. These filters allow you to be very
specific, when deciding the call information you would like in the final report.</p>

<p>If you do not want to select any filters, simply press the <span class="button">Next</span> button to skip.</p>

<p>Please find a brief description of all filters below:</p>

<h4>Account<h5>Account code</h4>h5>

<p>If you want to produce a bill consisting of all chargeable calls made using a particular account code, enter the account code in this filed. To report on more than one account code, simply comma separate.</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/account_code_exmpl.png" alt="Account code" />

<h4>Call<h5>Call type</h4>h5>

<p>This filter allows you to define the type of call you would like to report on. If you would like to report on all calls, leave at the default <span class="keyword">All calls</span>.</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/call_type_exmpl.png" alt="Call type" />

<h4>Carrier<<h5>Carrier</h4>h5>

<p>If you use more than one carrier, you can choose which carriers calls you would like to report on.</p>

<p>To report on all calls from all carriers, leave at default.</p>

<p>If you only use one carrier, there will be no drop-down list available and no option to choose a different carrier.</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/carrier_exmpl.png" alt="Carrier" />

<h4>CLI<<h5>CLI</h4>h5>

<p>The Caller Line Identification (CLI) is the number associated with the incoming call. This is sometimes withheld by the person making the call.</p>

<p>You may choose to report on calls from a particular CLI or from numbers beginning with a particular CLI by entering the number in here. For example, for calls from Tri-Line you would enter in "02072652600". This filter accepts the comparison operators <span class="keyword">!</span> and <span class="keyword">*</span>, e.g. to exclude calls from Tri-Line use "!020726526*".</p>

<p>To report on more than one CLI, simply comma separate.</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/cli_exmpl.png" alt="CLI" />

<h4>Cost<<h5>Cost</h4>h5>

<p>If you want to add a filter for call costs, simply type in the cost you wish to define as shown nearby and add the appropriate above, below and between symbol . This filter accepts range (<span class="keyword">-</span>) and comparison operators (<span class="keyword">></span>, <span class="keyword"><</span>, <span class="keyword">!</span> and <span class="keyword">*</span>).</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/cost_exmpl.png" alt="Cost" />

<h4>Destination<<h5>Destination</h4>h5>

<p>If you want to filter calls to a specific destination and that destination has been added to your locations field, simply type the destination in here. This filter accepts the comparison operators <span class="keyword">!</span> and <span class="keyword">*</span>, e.g. to exclude all calls to France use "!France*".</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/destination_exmpl.png" alt="Destination" />

<h4>Dialled<h5>Dialled number</h4>h5>

<p>To filter calls to a specific number, type the number in the dialled number field. To filter calls to a specific area, a partial number may be entered here e.g. "0033" for calls to France. This filter accepts the comparison operators <span class="keyword">!</span> and <span class="keyword">*</span>, e.g. to exclude calls to 0207 265, enter "!0207265*".</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/dialled_number_exmpl.png" alt="Dialled number" />

<h4>Duration<<h5>Duration</h4>h5>

<p>To filter call above or below a particular duration, simply enter the number of seconds and the relevant symbol. This filter accepts range (<span class="keyword">-</span>) and comparison operators (<span class="keyword">></span>, <span class="keyword"><</span>, <span class="keyword">!</span> and <span class="keyword">*</span>).</p>

<p>In the example nearby, the filter will look for calls above 1800 seconds (30 minutes). Alternatively you may want to exclude calls below a certain threshold e.g. below 3 seconds.</p>

<h4>LCR<h5>LCR code</h4>h5>

<p>If you are using Least Cost Routing (LCR), you may want to filter by LCR code in order to check a bill from your LCR provider. To do this simply enter the LCR code in the LCR field. This filter accepts the comparison operators <span class="keyword">!</span> and <span class="keyword">*</span>, e.g. to exclude a specific LCR code, simply add as follows "!162*".</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/lcr_code_exmpl.png" alt="LCR code" />

<h4>Response<<h5>Response</h4>h5>

<p>This filter allows you to filter based on the response times to calls. You have the option of
filtering for calls above or below a threshold. You can define this threshold in the box
alongside.</p>

<p>The figure relates to seconds. e.g. the example nearby shows 10 seconds. By
selecting from the drop-down list, you will be able to filter calls that took more than 10
seconds to answer or see calls answered in less than 3 seconds.</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/response_exmpl.png" alt="Response" />

<h4>Start<h5>Start time</h4>h5>

<p>This filter allows you to filter calls based on the start time. This is the time of day
when the call started in the format <span class="keyword">hh:mm:ss</span>, e.g. if you want calls after 8 a.m. only, then enter the start time in as "08:00:00" as shown nearby.</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/start_time_exmpl.png" alt="Start time" />

<h4>Trunk<h5>Trunk access code</h4>h5>

<p>If you want to filter by Trunk access code, simply enter the Trunk access code in this field. This filter accepts the comparison operators <span class="keyword">!</span> and <span class="keyword">*</span>. The <span class="keyword">*</span> is not needed if it's an exact match, so the 9 for TAC should just be "!9", e.g. to exclude all calls with access code 9, add "!9" to the TAC field.</p>
