<h2>Introduction</h2>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/unused_devices_1.png" alt="Unused devices" />

<p>This report identifies any devices that are currently unused i.e. not making or receiving calls. Devices can include both
users and channels.</p>

<p>The report is ideal for identifying extensions that can be reallocated or lines that could possibly be cut.</p>

<h2>Running the report</h2>

<p>On the <span class="reference">Reports</span> screen, click on <span class="reference">Unused devices</span> in the reports list and then press the <span class="button">Select this report</span> button.</p>

<p>The following report selection criteria window appears:</p>

<h4>Reporting period</h4>

<p>Every report requires a period to run over. This is generally defined as the "Reporting period".</p>

<img class="screenshot border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/period_screen.png" alt="Unused devices" />

<p>There are several pre-defined periods that can be selected from a simple drop-down list as shown above.</p>

<p>The built-in periods are based on a standard Gregorian calendar and are defined as follows:</p>

<p>If you want to be more specific, you can choose the <span class="keyword">Custom period</span> from the bottom of the drop-down list. This option
will allow you to define the start date and end date yourself, as shown below. When you need to be even more specific,
you can also choose a start time and end time.</p>

<img class="screenshot border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/custom_period_screen.png" alt="Unused devices" />

<p>When the report is executed, if the user has selected an in-built period, the reporting engine simply substitutes the start
and end dates based on the current date and the period the user selected.</p>

<p>Once you have set the report's period, click on the <span class="button">Next</span> button to set more of the report's features or select the <span class="button">Finish</span> button to run the report.</p>

<h4>What do you want to report on?</h4>

<p>In addition to the reporting period, each report offers you the opportunity to define exactly what you want to report on. This is
generally a site, group or user.</p>

<h5>Site</h5>

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

<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
the drop-down list or to select all sites' data, leave it at the default <span class="keyword">All sites</span> as shown above.</p>

<h5>Group</h5>

<img class="screenshot border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/entity_screen_2.png" alt="Unused devices" />

<p>There is no limit to the number of groups available on each site. Groups, like sites are available as a drop-down list. You
can choose to select a specific group or leave at the default <span class="keyword">All groups</span>. Please note that the drop-down list for each
group can only appear if a site has already been selected.</p>

<h5>User</h5>

<img class="screenshot border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/entity_screen_3.png" alt="Unused devices" />

<p>Once a site and group has been selected, you can decide whether you would like to report on all users or select a
particular user from the drop-down list as shown above.</p>

<p>Once you have set the report's entities, click on the <span class="button">Next</span> button to set more of the report's features or select the <span class="button">Finish</span> button to run the report.</p>
