TIM Professional allows you to customise the names of specific locations you dial to, so that these show instead of the generic location name wherever they feature throughout the system, e.g. reports, call view etc.
For example, if you have an office in Manchester and you would like to see the name of the branch as the destination, rather than the generic location name, Manchester, you can apply the following changes:
Access the
screen from the main configuration menu and click on the
tab.

| Border | false |

| Shadow | false |

| URL | /download/attachments/7241910/call_locations_2.png |

|
Enter the number and preferred location name in the fields provided, click on the
button and save the changes.

If you have a large number of custom location names to add to the system, you can access the LOCATIONS.CFG file found in the \config folder within the main program folder and add the details in the number = friendly name format, as shown below:
| Code Block |
|---|
[Call Locations]
01615995999 = Manchester Office
02072652600 = Tri-Line
02072652626 = Tri-Line Technical Support |
If a whole DDI range is related to a particular name, you can use wildcards to specify the range, as shown below:
| Code Block |
|---|
[Call Locations]
01615995900 = Manchester Switchboard
016159959## = Manchester Office DDI |
| HTML |

<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> |

01615995999 = Manchester Office |

<p>If, for example, a whole DDI range is related to the particular Manchester office, you
may like to specify that instead. This is achieved easily using
wildcards and may look like this for example:</p> |

01615995900 = Manchester Switchboard
016159959## = Manchester Office DDI |
