Entity

<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>

<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="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>

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.
