As with all reports, the header of the report includes:
- the report title
- the date and time of the report
- the name of the report, if applicable
The WEB format allows for complete flexibility when viewing any report. All headers are clickable, allowing you to re-arrange the report layout in seconds, to sort the calls in ascending or decending order based on the header clicked.
The body of the report consists of a detailed table showing a summary of each frequently-called destination. The following column headers are used, with totals displayed at the foot of the table:
Header | Description |
---|---|
Dialled number | This column shows the actual number dialled. Each number is a hyperlink so to see who actually dialled, simply click for a list of individual calls. |
Location | This column shows the location name associated with the dialled number. Note that any number can be customised in the locations field of your Directory so that the location name is more pecific e.g. "Joe Bloggs" mobile as opposed to "Vodafone". This makes it easier to identify valid calls. |
Number of calls | This field shows the total number of calls made to the number alongside. |
Total duration | The duration field shows the total time spent on the call in hh:mm:ss format. |
Total cost | This is the total cost of calls to this number. Please note that on multi-national sites the cost would normally be set to appear in local currency. |

<h2>Introduction</h2> <p>The Frequent Numbers report shows a top-ranking list of the most frequent outgoing calls. Use this information, for example, to decide whether you need to invest in private wires to common destinations, such as to your other offices. This report also helps in making decisions about which telecom carrier you should use to various call destinations. Partial telephone numbers can be specified so as to narrow your search down to very specific information, e.g. London numbers only.</p> <img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/frequent_numbers_1.png" alt="Frequent numbers" /> <h2>Running the report</h2> <p>On the <span class="reference">Reports</span> screen, click on <span class="reference">Frequent numbers</span> in the reports list and then press the <span class="button">Select this report</span> button.</p> <img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/frequent_numbers_2.png" alt="Frequent numbers" /> <p>The following report selection criteria window appears:</p> <h4>Reporting period</h4> <p>Every report requires a period to run over.
