<h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>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>

<h2>Running the report</h2>

<p>On the Reports screen, either double-click on the Frequent Numbers Report in the reports list or highlight the Frequent Numbers report and press Run now.</p>

<p>Analyse<p>The yourfollowing missedreport callsselection incriteria more detail to see which callers have 
and haven't been responded to. Results are arranged into two sections, 
<span class="reference">Missed</span> and <span class="reference">Handled</span>, showing calls that were never responded to, and 
those that were.</p>

<p>Each missed call is also given a priority depending on how many times and how often a caller attempted to make contact.</p>

<p>The call back period i.e. the window in which a call must be responded to in order to be considered handled, is user-definable.</p>
