Exclusions

On very busy sites or large sites where you're logging thousands of users, you may choose to excude certain calls from Stats. To do this click on the Exclusions tab as shown below. You can choose from any combination of exclusion criteria, by clicking on the button on the top right of the window.

Then select the Property, Operator and Value as shown in the example below:

NOTE: There is no limit to the number of the Exclusions that you can have. You may choose any combination of any of the Exclusions presented in the table below.

The table below explains all the possible combinations that you can have in terms of Exclusions Criteria. You can select the Property first, then pick an Operator and finally insert the Value.

Property	Operator	Value	Description
Account code	equals: to find only exact matches does not equal: to excluding calls to a particular number or beginning with a particular sequence of numbers begins with: to find calls to a particular location e.g. 00 for International does not begin with: to exclude certain calls e.g. 07 for UK mobile/personal ends with: when you want to find calls to a specific DDI does not end with: calls to everywhere except a specific number range contains: to find a call where you only have a portion of the number does not contain: to find a call where you need to exclude certain numbers or portions of numbers	Enter a numerical value corresponding to a phone number, number range or portion of phone number.	If you want to raise an alarm when a call is made using a particular account code, enter the account code here and select equals. e.g. Trigger an alarm when any call is made with an account code '55697'.
Call Type	equals: to find only exact matches does not equal: to exclude calls that don't match	Alarm	You can trigger an alarm when a particular call type happens or does not happen. Simply select, equals or does not equal from the Operator list and the type of call you want to report on from the Value list.
Carrier	equals: calls equal to the value entered here does not equal: calls not equal to the value here e.g. calls that were not free i.e. 0.00	Alarm	If you want to trigger an alarm when a call goes out or does not go out on a particular carrier, select equals or does not equal from the Operator list and choose the carrier from the drop down list in the Value field.
Channel	equals: calls equal to the value entered here does not equal: calls not equal to the value here e.g. calls that were not free i.e. 0.00	Alarm	If you want to trigger an alarm when a call is routed or not routed over a particular channel, selct this Alarm.
Chargeband	equals: does not equal: begins with: does not begin with: ends with: does not end with: contains: does not contain:	Alarm	If you want to trigger an alarm to advise when calls to a specific chargeband have been made use Chargeband as your criteria. This is normally used to set Alarm for calls susing expensive chargebands but can also be used to advise when calls do not use a specific chargeband.
CLI	equals: to find only exact matches does not equal: to find every call except those from that CLI begins with: to find calls that begin with similar CLI numbers does not begin with: to exclude calls from specific CLI's ends with: exclude CLI numbers ending with specific digits does not end with: where the CLI does not end with specific digits contains: to find call from a CLI where you only have a portion of the number does not contain: to find a call from a CLI excluding certain numbers or portions of numbers	Alarm	If you want to trigger an alarm when a call from a particular CLI appears, you simply need to select CLI and equals and type in the telephone number of the number who called. You also have the facility to enter partial numbers e.g. for Irish mobiles select begins with and type '0035386' in the Value field. If you wanted to exclude Irish mobiles, you would simply select does not begin with.

For example you can trigger an alarm for calls above £5.00. NOTE: The alarm does not show a currency as it can be placed at the top of the directory and trigerred regardless of currency. Alternatively if placed within a particular country, site or department, it will only trigger at that point.
Destination	equals: to find only exact matches does not equal: to exclude calls that don't match begins with: to find calls for a partial LCR code does not begin with: to exclude calls over certain carriers ends with: exclude LCR codes ending with specific digits does not end with: where the LCR code does not end with specific digits contains: to find call on an LCR where you only have a portion of the number does not contain: to find a call on LCR excluding certain numbers or portions of numbers	Alarm	Calls to specific destinations can be trigerred e.g. London or USA Mobile in the Value field. This would ensure that an alarm was triggered each time a call to London or a US mobile was made. Additional filters could also be added e.g. a cost filter stating a minimum cost of $5.00
