<p>To filter call above or below a particular duration, simply enter the number of seconds and the relevant symbol. This filter accepts range (<span class="keyword">-</span>) and comparison operators (<span class="keyword">></span>, <span class="keyword"><</span>, <span class="keyword">!</span> and <span class="keyword">*</span>).</p>
<p>In the example nearby, the filter will look for calls above 1800 seconds (30 minutes). Alternatively you may want to exclude calls below a certain threshold e.g. below 3 seconds.</p>

<h5>LCR code</h5>
<p>If you are using Least Cost Routing (LCR), you may want to filter by LCR code in order to check a bill from your LCR provider. To do this simply enter the LCR code in the LCR field. This filter accepts the comparison operators <span class="keyword">!</span> and <span class="keyword">*</span>, e.g. to exclude a specific LCR code, simply add as follows "!162*".</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/lcr_code_exmpl.png" alt="LCR code" />
<h5>Response</h5>
<p>This filter allows you to filter based on the response times to calls. You have the option of
filtering for calls above or below a threshold. You can define this threshold in the box
alongside.</p>
<p>The figure relates to seconds. e.g. the example nearby shows 10 seconds. By
selecting from the drop-down list, you will be able to filter calls that took more than 10
seconds to answer or see calls answered in less than 3 seconds.</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/response_exmpl.png" alt="Response" />
<h5>Start time</h5>
<p>This filter allows you to filter calls based on the start time. This is the time of day
when the call started in the format <span class="keyword">hh:mm:ss</span>, e.g. if you want calls after 8 a.m. only, then enter the start time in as "08:00:00" as shown nearby.</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/start_time_exmpl.png" alt="Start time" />
<h5>Trunk access code</h5>
<p>If you want to filter by Trunk access code, simply enter the Trunk access code in this field. This filter accepts the comparison operators <span class="keyword">!</span> and <span class="keyword">*</span>. The <span class="keyword">*</span> is not needed if it's an exact match, so the 9 for TAC should just be "!9", e.g. to exclude all calls with access code 9, add "!9" to the TAC field.</p>

<h4>Specific Options</h4>
<img class="screenshot border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/options_screen_top_calls.png" alt="Top calls" />
<p>This section allows you to add more specific filters to your report. The filters are fairly self-explanatory. If you would like
to exclude weekend calls from the report, simply tick the option to exclude weekend calls. If you would like to ignore
missed calls shorter than a specific duration, simply enter the duration in the box. In the example above, a filter has been
added to exclude weekends and any calls shorter than 3 seconds.</p>
<h5>Exclude weekends</h5>
<p>This option gives you the option of excluding weekend calls from any results shown. If you would like to exclude weekend
calls, simply select the tickbox to exclude weekend calls.</p>

<h5>Exclude transfers</h5>
<p>Select this option if you would like to exclude transfers when running a report. For example if you were running an
incoming call analysis report and wanted to see only how well calls were answered when first presented, you would
choose the option on excluding transfers.</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/transfers.png" alt="Top calls" />

The Web format is the most interactive of all formats: all column headers are click-sortable and most graphical and tabular elements can be drilled down into, allowing deeper analysis of your results. By clicking on the About this report link at the top-right corner of the page, you can review any filters and options that have been applied to the report.
As with all reports produced by TIM Plus, each page of the report includes the following information:
- the report's title
- the date and time that the report was generated
- the name of the report, if applicable
The report consists of a table containing a list of your top calls, as defined by your selection criteria. Each column header of the table is described below:
Header | Description |
---|
Date & Time | The date and time the call started |
Source | The place from where the call originated |
CLI | The telephone number of the remote caller for inbound calls |
Route | The information displayed in this field is determined by the type of call: - for incoming calls, this shows the CLI of the caller
- for incoming internal calls, this shows either the caller's username or extension number
- for outgoing calls, this shows the dialled number
|
Destination | The information displayed in this field is determined by the type of call: - for incoming calls, this shows the name of the user whose extension answered the call, or the extension number if not available
- for outgoing calls, this shows the geographical location that was dialled, or an alias if defined in your contacts list
- for internal calls, this shows the extension that was dialled, enclosed in square brackets [ ]
|
Response | The length of time it took for the call to be answered (i.e. the response time) |
Duration | The duration of the call (in hours, minutes and seconds) |
Cost | The cost of the call |
