Trunks Busy

<h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>This breaks down each business day into half-hour periods, showing the
maximum and average number of telephone lines in use in any
particular half-hour.  You can opt to exclude weekends, when perhaps
not many calls are being made or received, and so as not to distort
the averages.  You can also concentrate on incoming or outgoing
calls.</p>

<h4>Select a report period</h4>

<p>You need to select a time period for which you want the report to produce
information for.  You can select a pre-set period from the drop-down
list.</p>

<p>The default is set to <span class="keyword">Last Month</span> (the period from the first day to the last day of the previous calendar month, and NOT the last 30 days).</p>

<h4>Or enter your own custom period</h4>

<p>If you want to specify a period not
shown in the list, just enter your start and end
dates and times manually into the boxes provided.</p>

<h4>Choose a site to report on (optional)</h4>

<p>If your system is set-up to administer multiple sites, you have the
option of selecting a particular site here.  Select the blank line
(or leave the box empty) to report on all of your sites.</p>

<h4>Choose a specific trunk group (optional)</h4>

<p>You have the option of limiting the report's results to a particular
trunk period, for when you want to see how well a particular group of
trunks is performing, but don't want the results from other trunks to
distort your results.  Leave blank for all trunks to be included in
the results.</p>

<h4>Select a particular trunk (optional)</h4>

<p>To view only the results for a particular trunk, enter the number in box provided.</p>
