Quick call search

The Quick call search offers a rapid way to locate specific calls in the central database, as an alternative to running a full call report. You can refine your search results by using the filters described below:

Call type

This filter allows you to define the type of call you want your search results to cover, e.g. incoming, outgoing, internal etc.  To include all types of call, set this to All call types.

Period

The Period search field defines the time period the results should cover. To choose a period, select it from the drop-down list.

There are several preset reporting periods available for selection, based on the standard Gregorian calendar. The following table describes how the start and end times are defined for each preset period:

Dialled number

The Dialled number field allows you to filter your results by the number that was dialled. You can also specify a partial number to match all calls beginning with that number, e.g. to show all calls to London, enter  0207.

CLI

Calling Line Identification (CLI) is the telephone number of the remote caller in an incoming call scenario.

You can filter your results to show only calls that originate from a specific CLI or those whose CLI matches a particular pattern of digits. For example, to report on all incoming calls from London, you could enter 0207.

Entity

If you want to limit the search results to a particular site, group or user, click on the button, as shown below:

A new window will open, allowing you to drill-down into the directory structure.

Limit results to

This feature enables you to specify the maximum number of search results you want to retrieve. Set the limit by entering a value in the field provided, e.g. entering 50 in the Limit results to field, will return a maximum of 50 results.

This feature allows you to quickly find calls without having to run reports. Enter as many details as you can in order to limit the amount of results returned and then click the Search button.

Call type

The default call type is set to search on All call types. This means that it looks for all incoming, outgoing and lost calls. If you want to filter to search for ONLY a particular type of call, simply select your preferred option from the drop-down list:

• All call types: Search on all calls
• Answered: Search only on answered calls
• Outbound: Search only on outbound calls
• Missed: Search only on missed calls

Period

When searching for a call, you may want to define the search period. The default period on TIM Enterprise is Today. To change and select a different period, simply select from the drop-down list.

The options available are as follows:

• Today: The start date and end date is set to the current date. The default start time is set to 00:00:00 and the end time to the current time.
• Yesterday: The start date and end date is set to the current date minus one day. The start time is set to 00:00:00 and the end time to 23:59:59.
• This week: The start date is set to the Monday of the current week, whilst the end date is set to the current day. The default start time is set to 00:00:00 and the end time to the current time.
• Last week: The start date is set to the last Monday, whilst the end date is set to the start date plus seven days. The start time is set to 00:00:00 and the end time to 23:59:59.
• This month: The start date is set to the 1st day of the current month and the end date to today. The default start time is set to 00:00:00 and the end time to the current time.
• Last month: The start date for this period is set in three stages. The day is set to 01, the month is set to the current month minus one, or in the case of January, it is set to 12. The year is set to the current year, unless it is a new year, in which case the year is reduced by one. The start and end times are set to 00:00:00 and 23:59:59 respectively.
• This year: The start date is set to the first day of the first month of the current year. The end date is set to today's date. The start and end times are set to 00:00:00 and 23:59:59 respectively.
• All calls: The start date is set to the date of the first call in the database, whilst the end date is set to the date of the most recent call in the database. Times are also set to the times of the first and last calls in the database.
• Custom: Enter the start and end dates and times into the boxes below. The start and end times are linked to their respective dates.

Dialled number

You may search for calls to either a full or partial dialled number. A wildcard character is not required e.g. 01234567890 or 07 will suffice. If you want to search for calls to a specific number, enter that number in the search field. You may comma separate if you want to search for more than one number. You may also enter partial numbers or ** if looking for calls to numbers beginning with a particular code or number sequence.

CLI

You may search for calls made from any full or partial phone number. Wildcard characters are not necessary. e.g. If you know the call originated in Manchester you might enter 0161 here. If you want to search for calls from a specific CLI enter that number in the search field. You may also use any of the combinations shown in the Dialled number field above. If you want to search for calls to and from a particular number, simply enter the number (or list of comma separated numbers) in BOTH the Dialled number and CLI field.
