The report's results

Below is an example of this report's output in Web format:

The Web format is the most interactive of all formats: all column headers are click-sortable and most graphical and tabular elements can be drilled down into, allowing deeper analysis of your results. By clicking on the About this report link at the top-right corner of the page, you can review any filters and options that have been applied to the report.

As with all reports produced by TIM Enterprise, each page of the report includes the following information:

The report consists of a table containing a list of your top calls, as defined by your selection criteria. Each column header of the table is described below:
