<h4>Account code</h4>
<p>If your telephone system provides the ability to add account codes, you
may filter by entering the account code here. If more than one account
code needs to be entered, simply comma separate.</p>
<p>The default option is to search for calls where there is an exact match
for the account code entered i.e. <span class="reference">'equals'</span>, however you do have several
other options as presented below:-</p>
<ul>
<li><b>equals: </b>to find only exact matches</li>
<li><b>is not equal to: </b>to excluding calls to a particular number or beginning with a particular sequence of numbers</li>
<li><b>begins with: </b>to find calls to a particular location e.g. 00 for International</li>
<li><b>does not begin with: </b>to exclude certain calls e.g. 07 for UK mobile/personal</li>
<li><b>ends with: </b>when you want to find calls to a specific DDI</li>
<li><b>does not end with: </b>calls to everywhere except a specific number range</li>
<li><b>contains: </b>to find a call where you only have a portion of the number</li>
<li><b>does not contain: </b>to find a call where you need to exclude certain numbers or portions of numbers</li>
</ul>

recent bill from that carrier. Alternatively, you may want to look at
all calls not routed over a particular carrier. To do this, simply
select from the above:-</p>
<ul>
<li><b>equals: </b>calls equal to the value entered here</li>
<li><b>is not equal to</b>calls not equal to the value here e.g. calls that were not free i.e. 0.00</li>

<li><b>equals: </b>calls equal to the value entered here</li>
<li><b>is not equal to: </b>calls not equal to the value here e.g. calls that were not free i.e. 0.00</li>
</ul>
<p>To add the filter, simply choose the relevant filter and press the <span class="button">Add</span> button to add to the report.</p>

<h4>LCR Code</h4>

<li><b>does not end with: </b>where the LCR code does not end with specific digits</li>
<li><b>contains: </b>to find call on an LCR where you only have a portion of the number</li>
<li><b>does not contain: </b>to find a call on LCR excluding certain numbers or portions of numbers</li>
</ul>
<p>To add the filter, simply choose the relevant filter and press the <span class="button">Add</span> button to add to the report.</p>
<h4>Start time</h4>
<p>Start time is defined as the exact time of day the call started, as
output by your telephone system. You may choose to filter for any of
the following:-</p>
<ul>
<li><b>is greater than: </b>filter for calls that started after this time e.g. after 18:00</li>
<li><b>is less than: </b>filter for calls that started before this time e.g. before 07:00</li>
<li><b>equals: </b>filter for calls that started at exactly this time</li>
<li><b>is not equal to: </b>filter for calls outside a particular time</li>
</ul>
<p>To add the filter, simply choose the relevant filter and press the <span class="button">Add</span> button to add to the report.</p>
<h4>Call Type</h4>
<p>This allows you to define the type of call you would like to report on.
You can choose between the following:-</p>
<ul>
<li><b>equals: </b>to find only exact matches</li>
<li><b>is not equal to: </b>to exclude calls that don't match</li>
</ul>
<p>Then you can define the actual type of call. e.g. to see all abandoned
DDI calls, choose <span class="reference">'equals'</span> and select <span class="reference">'Missed DDI only'</span> from drop-down list.
This will show how many channels had 'missed' or 'abandoned' calls at any one time.</p>
<p>To add the filter, simply choose the relevant filter and press the <span class="button">Add</span> button to add to the report.</p>

<ul>
<li><b>equals: </b>to find only exact matches</li>
<li><b>is not equal to: </b>to find every call except those from that CLI</li>
<li><b>begins with: </b>to find calls that begin with similar CLI numbers</li>
<li><b>does not begin with: </b>to exclude calls from specific CLI's</li>
<li><b>ends with: </b>exclude CLI numbers ending with specific digits</li>
<li><b>does not end with: </b>where the CLI does not end with specific digits</li>
<li><b>contains: </b>to find call from a CLI where you only have a portion of the number</li>
<li><b>does not contain: </b>to find a call from a CLI excluding certain numbers or portions of numbers</li>
</ul>
