TIM Professional allows you to customise the names of specific locations you dial to, so that these show instead of the dialled number, wherever they feature throughout the system, e.g. reports, call view etc. For example, the location name showing in the reports when dialling
will be Manchester, as determined by its dialling code 0161.
To add a new location name, click on the
tab from the screen and enter the preferred name in the field, as shown below:
If you prefer to customise specific numbers only, such as DDIs you can make the changes in the Open the LOCATIONS.CFG file from the main installation folder. Lines are added in the form number = friendly name to the configuration file.For instance you may found in the \config folder within the main program folder.
If you want to display the location name of all numbers starting with 0161 as Manchester, but to customise the location name for a particular number, such as
,
as shown belowthe following lines have to be added in the form number = friendly name to the configuration file.

<p>Open the <span class="keyword">LOCATIONS.CFG</span> file found in the <span class="keyword">\config</span> folder within the main program folder.</p>
<p>There may be occasions when you would prefer a more meaningful name for the location of a
dialled number in the <span class="reference">Call View</span> or in your <span class="reference">Reports</span>. For
example, you may have an office in Manchester with the number 0161
599 5999. In the <span class="reference">Call View</span> and in your <span class="reference">Reports</span>, this
number's location will be defined as simply Manchester,
which is determined from its dialling code 0161.</p>
<p>In the example below, Tri-Line Technical Support and Main Numbers have been added. When
these number are dialled, the corresponding name would now appear in
the <span class="reference">Location Name</span> field, rather than the default 'London'.</p>

<p>Whilst you would want any Manchester numbers to retain the Manchester
Location Name, you may like the particular calls to 599
5999 to reflect the fact that these are calls to your
office. By simply adding the number to the <span class="keyword">LOCATIONS.CFG</span>
file you can assign a friendly name for the number.</p>
<p>Lines are added in the form <span class="keyword">number = friendly name</span> to the configuration file, and here
is how the example above might look in your <span class="keyword">LOCATIONS.CFG</span>
file:</p> |
