<h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>For PBX types that report on extension to extension calls, this report
allows you to view the split between which incoming and outgoing
calls were received or made both internally and externally.  If a lot
of extension to extension calls are made in your organisation, it can
be used to quickly assess the amount of internal versus external call
traffic.</p>

<h2>Running the report</h2>

<p>On the Reports screen, either double-click on the Extension Usage Detail report in the reports list or highlight the Extension Usage Detail report and press Run now as shown below.</p>

<p>The report includes the usual headings, including the report's title, any Friendly Name you assigned to it, the period of the report, and any options you selected in the report's selection criteria window.</p>

<p>The body of the report consists of a table showing a summary of both
incoming and outgoing calls, both internally and externally, broken
down by each extension group.  Each extension group/extension is
highlighted as a hyperlink, allowing you to click on each one to find
out the same summary information for each individual extension in any
selected group.  By further clicking on an individual extension, you
have the opportunity to view a fully itemised list of all calls to
and from that extension, over the period of the report that you
selected.  The summary pages for both extension groups and individual
extension show the following information:</p>
