The Filter parameter allows you to add one or more filters to your report in order to narrow down your search results. For maximum flexibility, you are provided with a text box where you can enter the filtering value and a drop-down list containing the criteria by which this value should be matched in the results. A list describing all filters available in TIM Enterprise is presented below; however, note that not all filters are relevant to all reports.
To filter a report by account code, enter the relevant value in the box provided and select the criteria by which you want this to be matched in the results. The options contained in the drop-down list are described in the table below:

<h4>Destination</h4>
<p>The destination can most easily be defined as the B end of the call.
It will change depending on the type of report being run. e.g. on an
internal call, the destination will be the extension number or name of
