<h2>Introduction</h2> <p>Many of the reports available on TIM Enterprise focus on a particular area. The Custom report is the most flexible report on the system and as the name suggests is completely customisable. You can create almost any conceivable report and if you want to save for future use, you simply save it to <span class="button">My reports</span> and allocate your own friendly name to it so it remains available for future use.</p> <p>The Custom report can comprise of any number of filters and there are numerous options available to allow you to display the data output in the most appropriate way.</p> <img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/custom_report_1.png" alt="Custom report" /> <h2>Running the report</h2> <p>On the <span class="reference">Reports</span> screen, click on <span class="reference">Custom report</span> in the reports type list, as shown below:</p> <img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/custom_report_2.png" alt="Custom report" /> <p>You can tailor the report to your specific requirements by selecting the entity you'd like to apply the report to as well as the output format required. You can also limit the results by adding filters and options as detailed below: </p> <h4>Entity</h4> <p>The <span class="reference">Entity</span> allows you to choose which area of the directory you would like to report on. If you want to run a report for your entire organisation, you do not need to choose an entity.</p> <p>If you want to select a specific area for reporting, click on the <img class="icon" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/add_button.png" alt="Add Entity button" /> button to get a pop-up window showing the areas of the directory you can report on.</p> <img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/reports_3.png" alt="Add Entity" /> <p>To drill up and down simply click on the hyperlinks provided, shown in the screenshot below as Aberdeen, Birmingham, Brighton, Cardiff etc.</p> <img class="screenshot border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/entity_panel_1.png" alt="Entity panel" /> <p>Once you have reached the area you would like to report on, click on the green <img class="icon" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/tick_button.png" alt="Add Entity button" /> as highlighted in red below.</p> <img class="screenshot border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/entity_panel_2.png" alt="Entity panel" /> <p>Alternatively if you are looking for a specific area e.g. person, department, site, name etc, you can just enter the name and press the <img class="icon" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/search_button.png" alt="Search" /> button as shown in the example below:</p> <img class="screenshot border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/entity_panel_3.png" alt="Entity panel" /> <h5>Selected Entity</h5> <p>Once your entity you would like to report on had been selected, it will appear, as shown below:</p> <img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/selected_entity.png" alt="Selected entity" /> <h5>Delete an Entity</h5> <p>In order to delete an entity, just select it with your mouse and click on the <img class="icon" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/red_delete_button.png"> button above it, as shown below:</p> <img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/delete_entity.png" alt="Delete entity" /> |
NOTE: If you have restricted access, you may not be able to see the entire directory. You will need to speak to your system administrator to get access rights to other areas. |
<h4>Period</h4> <p>TIM Enterprise allows complete flexibility in the way you can select your time periods.</p> <img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/period.png" alt="Period panel" /> <p>You have three types of period to select from. These are:</p> <ul> <li><b>Preset period</b></li> <li><b>Last period</b></li> <li><b>Custom period</b></li> </ul> |
NOTE: Running this report over longer periods increases the reliability of its results. |
<h6>Preset period</h6> <p>The standard Preset periods are shown below and can be selected from this simple drop-down list.</p> <img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/preset_period.png" alt="Preset period" /> <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> </tr> <tr> <td class="confluenceTd"><b>Last month</b></td> <td class="confluenceTd">The start date for this period is set in three stages. The day is set to <span class="keyword">01</span>, the month is set to the current month minus one, or in the case of January, it is set to <span class="keyword">12</span>. The year is set to the current year, unless it is a new year, in which case the year is reduced by one.

Times are also set to the times of the first and last calls in the database.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h6>Last period</h6> <p>The last period allows complete flexibility, e.g. last 3 hours, last 7 days, last 2 quarters.</p> <img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/last_period.png" alt="Last period" /> |
NOTE: We define last week from the pre-set periods as Sun-Sat of the previous week and last 7 days as the preceding 7 days. |
<h6>Custom period</h6> <p>The user defined custom period allows the user to define the exact date and time that the report is required from and to.</p> <img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/custom_period.png" alt="Custom period" /> |
<h4>Format</h4> <p>This allows you to define the format of the output. Simply click on your preferred output format to determine whether you would like the report output in Web format, to PDF, CSV, as XML or Excel.</p> <img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/formats.png" alt="Formats panel" /> <p>To select, simply click on your chosen format from the list as shown above. Note that any report can be run several times with different formats selected for the output if required.</p> <table class="confluenceTable"> <tbody> <tr> <th class="confluenceTh" width=196>Format</th> <th class="confluenceTh">Description</th> </tr> <tr> <td class="confluenceTd"><img class="icon" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/web_icon.gif" /> <b>Web</b></td> <td class="confluenceTd">When a report is run, its output is displayed in the Report Output window, which is a mini web-browser containing the HTML output generated by the report engine. It is the common interface for all reports. The report body is shown in a window that can be panned around by using the horizontal and vertical scrollbars. If the report is made up of multiple pages, you can navigate it by using the <span class="button no_margin">Back</span> and <span class="button no_margin">Fwd</span> buttons at the bottom. You can print the report by pressing the <span class="button no_margin">Print</span> button, or save the report to an HTML file by pressing the <span class="button no_margin">Save</span> button and choosing a filename and location. <p>Universally-accessible, this format provides clickable column headers for dynamic sorting of table data, with clean graphical charts in the popular Flash format, so you can zoom into them for more detail. Each report is fully customisable - right down to the individual table fields. To view these reports, all that's needed is your favourite web browser - with no need for obscure add-ons!</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="confluenceTd"><img class="icon" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/pdf_icon.gif" /> <b>PDF <br/>(Portable Document Format)</b></td> <td class="confluenceTd">PDF is a file format created by Adobe Systems in 1993 for document exchange. PDF is used for representing two-dimensional documents in a manner independent of the application software, hardware, and operating system. <p>PDFs will run over several pages depending on the report selected. Because of the nature of PDF reports, headers are fixed and not selectable as in web reports above. You may however pre-sort before running or scheduling using the filters available in the <span class="reference">Options</span> section. PDFs are ideal for producing reports like <span class="reference">Phone Bills</span>. PDFs are ideal when distributing to colleagues inside and outside of your organisation - while guaranteeing they'll look identical across all operating systems when viewed on the screen or printed out.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="confluenceTd"><img class="icon" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/xml_icon.gif" /> <b>XML <br/>(Extensible Markup Language)</b></td> <td class="confluenceTd">XMLs purpose is to aid information systems in sharing structured data, especially via the internet, to encode documents and to serialise data. XML, in combination with other standards, makes it possible to define the content of a document separately from its formatting, making it easy to reuse that content in other applications or for other presentation environments. Most importantly, XML provides a basic syntax that can be used to share information between different kinds of computers, different applications, and different organizations without needing to pass through many layers of conversion. <p>Since all reports are derived from this native format, we pack each one with all the data you'd ever need, so you'll always be able to extract the report data into your favourite reporting packages, such as Business Objects, Crystal Reports, or even your favourite Office spreadsheet.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="confluenceTd"><img class="icon" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/csv_icon.gif" /> <b>CSV <br/>(Comma Separated Values)</b></td> <td class="confluenceTd">A CSV file is used for the digital storage of data structured in a table of lists form, where each associated item (member) in a group is in association with others also separated by the commas of its set. Each line in the CSV file corresponds to a row in the table. Within a line, fields are separated by commas, each field belonging to one table column. CSV files are often used for moving tabular data between two different computer programs, for example between a database program and a spreadsheet program. <p>This option is ideal for interacting with your own back office systems, all CSV data is fully customisable using XSLT from the report's original XML format.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="confluenceTd"><img class="icon" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/excel_icon.gif" /> <b>Excel</b></td> <td class="confluenceTd">Select Excel as your preferred report format, if you would like to manipulate the data and possibly integrate with data in other Excel spreadsheets. </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> |

<h5>Destination</h5>
<p>The destination can most easily be defined as the B end of the call.
It will change depending on the type of report being run. e.g. on an
internal call, the destination will be the extension number or name of
the person being dialled (if the extension number has been allocated a
name). On an outgoing call the destination will be the name of the place
being dialled e.g. USA, Leeds, Vodafone etc. If a location or mobile
