<p>Unlike Filters, Options differ depending on the report being run. Some 
reports do not have any options. Because all options are not available 
on all reports, only the options that can be used with the report 
selected will be shown. All other options will be greyed out and can not
 be selected.</p>

<p>Upon selecting the Option, then click on the <span class="button">Add</span> button to add this option or just select the <span class="button">Close</span> button if you no longer want to include this Option.</p>

Reporting options

This section allows you to further narrow down your report results, by excluding certain types of call or sorting the results in a particular manner. These options are specific to the type of report you are running and differ between report types. Next to each option there is an
