<p>(Stored as LOCATIONS.CFG)</p>
<p>There may be occasions when you would prefer a more meaningful name for the location of a
dialled number in the Live Call View or in your reports. For
example, you may have an office in Manchester with the number 0161
599 5999. In the Live Call View and in your reports, this
number's location will be defined as simply Manchester,
which is determined from its dialling code 0161.</p>
<p>In the example below, Tri-Line technical support and main number shave been added. When
these number are dialled, the Corresponding name would now appear in
the locations field, rather than the default 'London'.</p>

<p>Whilst you would want any Manchester numbers to retain the Manchester
location name, you may like the particular calls to 599
5999 to reflect the fact that these are calls to your
office. By simply adding the number to the LOCATIONS.CFG
file you can assign a friendly name for the number.</p>
<p>Lines are added in the form <span class="keyword"><number> = <friendly name></span> to the configuration file, and here
is how the example above might look in your LOCATIONS.CFG
file:</p> |

TIM Professional allows you to replace the generic name of specific locations with more friendly names wherever they feature throughout the system, e.g. reports, call view etc. For example, if you have an office in Manchester and you would like to see the name of the branch as the destination, rather than the generic location, you can apply the following changes:

<p>If,

may like to specify that instead. This is achieved easily using
wildcards and may look like this for example:</p> |

= Tri-Line
02072652626 = Tri-Line Technical Support |
If a whole DDI range is related to a particular name, you can use wildcards to specify the range, as shown below:
