NOTE: You may add more than one Filter to any report.

<h4>Account code</h4>

<p>If your telephone system provides the ability to add account codes, you 
may filter by entering the account code here. If more than one account 
code needs to be entered, simply comma separate.</p>

<p>The default option is to search for calls where there is an exact match 
for the account code entered i.e. <span class="keyword">equals</span>, however you do have several 
other options as presented below:</p>

all calls not routed over a particular carrier. To do this, simply 
select from the above:</p>

<h4>Destination</h4>

<p>The destination can most easily be defined as the B end of the call. 
It will change depending on the type of report being run. e.g. on an 
internal call, the destination will be the extension number or name of 
the person being dialled (if the extension number has been allocated a 
name). On an outgoing call the destination will be the name of the place
 being dialled e.g. USA, Leeds, Vodafone etc. If a location or mobile 
has been customised with an exact name, this will be shown e.g. Joe 
Bloggs mobile, ABC Corp LA office etc. This allows you to search for all
 calls except those to a specific destination.</p>
