TIM Professional allows you to customise the names of specific locations you dial to, so that these show instead of the generic location name wherever they feature throughout the system, e.g. reports, call view etc.
For example, if you have an office in Manchester and you would like to see the name of the branch as the destination, rather than the generic location name, Manchester, you can apply the following changes:
Access the Setup screen from the main configuration menu and click on the tab.
Enter the number and preferred location name in the fields provided, click on the button and save the changes.
If you have a large number of custom location names to add to the system, you can access the LOCATIONS.CFG file found in the \config folder within the main program folder and add the details in the number = friendly name format, as shown below:
If a whole DDI range is related to a particular name, you can use wildcards to specify the range, as shown below:
Open the LOCATIONS.CFG file found in the \config folder within the main program folder.
There may be occasions when you would prefer a more meaningful name for the location of a dialled number in the Call View or in your Reports. For example, you may have an office in Manchester with the number 0161 599 5999. In the Call View and in your Reports, this number's location will be defined as simply Manchester, which is determined from its dialling code 0161.
In the example below, Tri-Line Technical Support and Main Numbers have been added. When these number are dialled, the corresponding name would now appear in the Location Name field, rather than the default 'London'.
Whilst you would want any Manchester numbers to retain the Manchester Location Name, you may like the particular calls to 599 5999 to reflect the fact that these are calls to your office. By simply adding the number to the LOCATIONS.CFG file you can assign a friendly name for the number.
Lines are added in the form number = friendly name to the configuration file, and here is how the example above might look in your LOCATIONS.CFG file:
If, for example, a whole DDI range is related to the particular Manchester office, you may like to specify that instead. This is achieved easily using wildcards and may look like this for example:
