<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>The Busy Channels report allows you to break down each business day into half-hour periods, showing the maximum and average number of telephone lines in use in any particular half-hour. You can opt to exclude weekends, when perhaps not many calls are being made or received, and so as not to distort the averages. You can also concentrate on only incoming or outgoing calls.</p>
<p>This report is ideal for determining whether or not you have enough lines, or if you have too many!</p>

<p>If you want to be more specific, you can choose the <span class="keyword">Custom period</span> from the bottom of the drop-down list. This option
will allow you to define the start date and end date yourself, as shown below. When you need to be even more specific,
you can also choose a start time and end time.</p>

and end dates based on the current date and the period the user selected.</p>
