<a id="Introduction"></a>

<h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>TIM Plus allows you to create your own score cards and rate any call for evaluation purposes. The scores can be based
on any combination of questions with the following answers:</p>

<ul class="content">
	<li><b>Yes/No</b></li>
	<li><b>A range</b></li>
	<li><b>Multiple choice</b></li>
</ul>

<h2>Running the report</h2>

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

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/call_scoring_2.png" alt="Call scoring" />

<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="Call scoring" />

<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>

<table class="confluenceTable">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<th class="confluenceTh" width=98>Period</th>
			<th class="confluenceTh">Description</th>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="confluenceTd"><b>Today</b></td>
			<td class="confluenceTd">The start date and end date is set to the current date. The default start time is set to <span class="keyword">00:00:00</span> and the end time to the current time.</td>

<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="Call scoring" />

<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="Call scoring" />

<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="Call scoring" />

<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="Call scoring" />

<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>

<h4>Filter call information</h4>

<img class="screenshot border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/filter_screen_call_scoring.png" alt="Call scoring" />

<p>You have the option of filtering the information, based on a number of call filters. These filters allow you to be very
specific, when deciding the call information you would like in the final report.</p>

<p>If you do not want to select any filters, simply press the <span class="button">Next</span> button to skip.</p>

<p>Please find a brief description of all filters below:</p>

<h5>Call type</h5>

<p>This filter allows you to define the type of call you would like to report on. If you would like to report on all calls, leave at the default <span class="keyword">All calls</span>.</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/call_type_exmpl.png" alt="Call type" />

<h5>CLI</h5>

<p>The Caller Line Identification (CLI) is the number associated with the incoming call. This is sometimes withheld by the person making the call.</p>

<p>You may choose to report on calls from a particular CLI or from numbers beginning with a particular CLI by entering the number in here. For example, for calls from Tri-Line you would enter in "02072652600". This filter accepts the comparison operators <span class="keyword">!</span> and <span class="keyword">*</span>, e.g. to exclude calls from Tri-Line use "!020726526*".</p>

<p>To report on more than one CLI, simply comma separate.</p>

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

<h5>Dialled number</h5>

<p>To filter calls to a specific number, type the number in the dialled number field. To filter calls to a specific area, a partial number may be entered here e.g. "0033" for calls to France. This filter accepts the comparison operators <span class="keyword">!</span> and <span class="keyword">*</span>, e.g. to exclude calls to 0207 265, enter "!0207265*".</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/dialled_number_exmpl.png" alt="Dialled number" />

<h5>Duration</h5>

<p>To filter call above or below a particular duration, simply enter the number of seconds and the relevant symbol. This filter accepts range (<span class="keyword">-</span>) and comparison operators (<span class="keyword">></span>, <span class="keyword"><</span>, <span class="keyword">!</span> and <span class="keyword">*</span>).</p>

<p>In the example nearby, the filter will look for calls above 1800 seconds (30 minutes). Alternatively you may want to exclude calls below a certain threshold e.g. below 3 seconds.</p>

<h4>Specific Options</h4>

<img class="screenshot border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/options_screen_call_scoring.png" alt="Call scoring" />

<p>This section allows you to add more specific filters to your report. The filters are fairly self-explanatory. If you would like
to exclude weekend calls from the report, simply tick the option to exclude weekend calls.</p>

<h5>Exclude weekends</h5>

<p>This option gives you the option of excluding weekend calls from any results shown. If you would like to exclude weekend
calls, simply select the tickbox to exclude weekend calls.</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/weekends.png" alt="Call scoring" />

<h5>Exclude transfers</h5>

<p>Select this option if you would like to exclude transfers when running a report. For example if you were running an
incoming call analysis report and wanted to see only how well calls were answered when first presented, you would
choose the option on excluding transfers.</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/transfers.png" alt="Call scoring" />

<h5>Hide unused</h5>

<p>This option gives you the option of excluding unused extensions from the results shown. To exclude unused extension,
simply select select the tickbox, as shown below:</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/hide_unused.png" alt="Call scoring" />

<h2>Creating the report</h2>
