Session search

By default, PortaBilling automatically loads sessions made within the last five minutes, once you open the Trace session panel. You can turn off data autoload if you don’t want all those sessions to load each time you use the Trace session functionality. This saves you time, as you don’t have to wait to apply specific filtering criteria. Click Settings and clear the check mark for the Automatically start searching upon opening the page option.

Filter sessions by originating phone number (ANI number). By default, PortaBilling filters sessions with a number that starts with your input.

To change the search filter, click Matching mode . You can choose the matching mode to filter sessions by the originating phone number that:

• Exactly matches – exactly matches your input.
• Starts with – starts with your input.
• Contains – contains your input (anywhere in the number).
• Ends with – ends with your input.

For example, if you choose the Contains matching mode and enter 777, the search results can be 7771209088, 12077760203, 12022201777, etc. PortaBilling automatically saves matching mode from the previous search.

For example, if you choose the Starts with matching mode and enter 178, the results can be 1780807928, 17852049603, 17855522910, etc. PortaBilling automatically saves matching mode from the previous search.
