"..." indicates that there are more contact alias names which you can view in the subfolders.
• if it is not for a target phone number you entered then this displays a maximum of three contact alias names. "..." indicates that there are more contact alias names which you can view in the subfolders. If there are no contact alias names available, then either CDR is displayed indicating the connection came from the CDR file, or Event is displayed indicating the connection came from an event in the phone data file.

• In each of the subfolders, details are displayed of all the available contact alias names, phone numbers, email addresses and unique identifiers from the CDR files and phone data files of the target phone numbers you selected to include in your link analysis using the Link analysis dialog box. Note, contact alias names are only available if the uploaded phone data contains contact names.
