<h2>Introduction</h2>
<img id="border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/frequent_numbers.png" alt="Frequent numbers" />
<p>Frequent numbers report shows a top-ranking list of the most frequent outgoing calls. Use
this information to decide, for example, whether you need to invest in
private wires to common destinations such as your other offices or
branches.</p>
<p>This report also helps in making decisions about which telecom
carrier you should use to various call destinations. Partial telephone
numbers can be specified so as to narrow your search down to very
specific information, e.g. London numbers only.</p>
<h2>Understanding the Results</h2>
<p>When selecting <span class="reference">Web</span> as the output format, this report will appear as above.</p>

Overview
The Frequent Numbers report shows a top-ranking list of the numbers that you call, or are called by, most frequently. By highlighting your most frequently-called destinations, the report can help you to determine if private circuits to your commonly-called destinations would be beneficial; it can also help you negotiate call rates with your network provider.

As with all reports produced by TIM Enterprise, 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 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.
The body of the report contains a table showing a summary of each frequently dialled number or CLI along with their associated destinations. The column headers of the table are described below:
Header | Description |
---|
Dialled number | The telephone number that was dialled |
Location | The location name associated with the dialled number or CLI |
Number of calls | The total number of calls made to each unique dialled number or from each unique CLI |
Total duration | The total time spent on calls to each dialled number or from each CLI, displayed in hh:mm:ss format |
Total cost | The total cost of calls for each unique dialled number |
All dialled numbers, CLIs and locations in the table are shown as hyperlinks; clicking on any of them displays an itemised list of calls to/from each one.
