This section allows you to further narrow down your report results, by excluding certain types of calls or sorting the results in a particular manner. The filters are fairly self-explanatory. For example, if you would like to exclude weekend calls from the report, simply tick the option to exclude weekend calls. If you would like to ignore missed calls shorter than a specific duration, simply enter the duration in the box.

<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>

<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="Random call selection" />

<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>
