CLI

The Caller
CLI

Calling Line Identification (CLI) is

a phone number that calls your organisation. This is sometimes withheld by the person making the call.You may choose to report on calls from a particular CLI or from numbers beginning with a particular CLI. For example, for

the telephone number of the remote caller in an incoming call scenario.

You can report on calls that originate from a specific CLI or those whose CLI matches a particular pattern of digits. For example, to report on all incoming calls from Tri-Line, you

would

could enter 02072652600.

Reporting_filter
FilterCLI
Value02072652600

This filter accepts the comparison operators ! and * (e.g. to exclude calls from Tri-Line, you would use !020726526*). To report on more than one CLI, user a comma to separate the entries.

Reporting_filter
FilterDestination
Value!France*

Dialled number

To filter calls to a specific dialled number, type

the number that was dialled

it in the text box provided. The dialled number

can be a number that you dial out, or a DDI number within your organisation that someone dials in to get to a particular extension

is defined as the number that is dialled (in the case of an outbound call), or the DDI number that the remote party dialled to reach a particular extension or group (in the case of an inbound call).

To filter calls to a specific area, a partial number

Reporting_filter
FilterDialled number
Value0033

This filter accepts the comparison operators ! and (e.g. to exclude calls to 0207 265, enter !0207265* ).

You can use the ! symbol to explicitly exclude a dialled number from the report's results, and/or the 

Referencemacro
Label*
 symbol as a wildcard in digit pattern matching.  For example, to exclude calls to Tri-Line, but include all others, you could use !020726526*). To report on more than one dialled number, use a comma to separate each entry.

Duration

To filter calls above or below a particular duration, enter the

number of seconds and the relevant symbol in the box provided. This filter allows you to specify a range (-) or use comparison operators (>, <, ! and *).

Reporting_filter

You can specify a duration range by using the

<h5>Site</h5>

<img class="screenshot border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/entity_screen_1.png" alt="Call scoring" />

<p>TIM Plus will allow you to log information from up to five sites. If you want to report on a specific site, select that site from

<h4>Filter call information</h4>

<img class="screenshot border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/filter_screen_call_scoring.png" alt="Call scoring" />

<p>You have the option of filtering the information, based on a number of call filters. These filters allow you to be very
specific, when deciding the call information you would like in the final report.</p>

<p>If you do not want to select any filters, simply press the <span class="button">Next</span> button to skip.</p>

<p>Please find a brief description of all filters below:</p>

<h5>Call type</h5>

<p>This filter allows you to define the type of call you would like to report on. If you would like to report on all calls, leave at the default <span class="keyword">All calls</span>.</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/call_type_exmpl.png" alt="Call type" />

<h5>CLI</h5>

<p>The Caller Line Identification (CLI) is the number associated with the incoming call. This is sometimes withheld by the person making the call.</p>

<p>You may choose to report on calls from a particular CLI or from numbers beginning with a particular CLI by entering the number in here. For example, for calls from Tri-Line you would enter in "02072652600". This filter accepts the comparison operators <span class="keyword">!</span> and <span class="keyword">*</span>, e.g. to exclude calls from Tri-Line use "!020726526*".</p>

<p>To report on more than one CLI, simply comma separate.</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/cli_exmpl.png" alt="CLI" />

<h5>Dialled number</h5>

<p>To filter calls to a specific number, type the number in the dialled number field. To filter calls to a specific area, a partial number may be entered here e.g. "0033" for calls to France. This filter accepts the comparison operators <span class="keyword">!</span> and <span class="keyword">*</span>, e.g. to exclude calls to 0207 265, enter "!0207265*".</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/dialled_number_exmpl.png" alt="Dialled number" />

<h5>Duration</h5>

<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>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/duration_exmpl.png" alt="Duration" />
