Filters

TIM Enterprise allows you to determine which calls are processed by a stats collector, based on each call's properties.

You must first decide whether calls will be included or excluded if the filters you specify match. You must also choose whether a single filter match is sufficient or whether all filters must match in order to include or exclude calls.

To add individual filters, click on the
