<h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>Quickly identify any unused devices on any entity i.e. site, team group 
etc. This is useful for finding channels no longer required or 
extensions that can be reallocated elsewhere.</p>

<p>The report shows two sections; Users and Channels. The <span class="button">Users</span> tab displays a 
list of all users that haven't been utilised over the given report 
period. The <span class="button">Channels</span> tab displays a list of all channels that haven't 
been utilised over the given report period.</p>

<h2>Running the report</h2>

<p>On the <span class="reference">Reports</span> screen, click on <span class="reference">Unused devices</span> in the reports type list, as shown below:</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/unused_devices_2.png" alt="Unused devices" />

<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>

<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>

<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

NOTE: Running this report over longer periods increases the reliability of its results.

HTML
<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>

<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

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.

HTML
<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" />
HTML
<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>

		<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>

		<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>

		</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>
