<p>Open the <span class="keyword">LOCATIONS.CFG</span> file found in the <span class="keyword">\config</span> folder within the main program folder.</p>
<p>There may be occasions when you would prefer a more meaningful name for the location of a
dialled number in the <span class="reference">Call View</span> or in your <span class="reference">Reports</span>. For
example, you may have an office in Manchester with the number 0161
599 5999. In the <span class="reference">Call View</span> and in your <span class="reference">Reports</span>, 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 numbers have been added. When
these number are dialled, the Corresponding name would now appear in
the <span class="reference">Location Name</span> 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 <span class="keyword">LOCATIONS.CFG</span>
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 <span class="keyword">LOCATIONS.CFG</span>
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:
