For each report, you must specify a time span that covers the calls you want the report to include. This is known as the "reporting period".
TIM Enterprise allows complete flexibility in the way you can select your time periods.
You have three types of period to select from. These are:
- Preset period
- Last period
- Custom period
 | NOTE: For some reports e.g. Busy channels, we'd recommend running a report over longer periods. This provides a better overall view of actual call traffic. |
Preset period
The standard Preset periods are shown below and can be selected from this simple drop-down list.
The built-in periods are based on a standard Gregorian calendar and are defined as follows:
| Period | Description |
|---|---|
| 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 | This is Monday to Sunday of the previous week. 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. |
Last period
The last period allows complete flexibility, e.g. last 3 hours, last 7 days, last 2 quarters.
| NOTE: We define last week from the Preset periods as Mon-Sun of the previous week and last 7 days as the preceding 7 days. |
Custom period
The user defined custom period allows the user to define the exact date and time that the report is required from and to.
