<h2>Introduction</h2> <p>Shows a top-ranking list of the most frequent outgoing calls. Use this information, for example, to decide whether you need to invest in private wires to common destinations, such as to your other offices. This report also helps in making decisions about which telecom carrier you should use to various call destinations. Partial telephone numbers can be specified so as to narrow your search down to very specific information, e.g. London numbers only.</p> <h2>Running the report</h2> <p>On the Reports screen, either double-click on the Frequent Numbers Report in the reports list or highlight the Frequent Numbers report and press Run now.</p> <img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_professional/frequent_numbers_report_1.png" alt="Frequent numbers report" /> <p>The following report selection criteria window appears:</p> <img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_professional/frequent_numbers_report_2.png" alt="Frequent numbers report" /> <h4>Select a report period</h4> <p>You need to select a time period for which you want the report to produce information for.
