3.  At the top of the page, you will see visual breakdowns for: 

  • The total number of visits to specific web pages for the group during the timeframe selected
  • A Top 5 list of web categories ranked by the total number of visits per web category for that timeframe 
  • A Top 5 list of users ranked by the total number of web page visits per user for that timeframe 

    You will also see a detailed list of web pages visited by the selected group including a breakdown of:

    • whether they were allowed (‘alert’ type) or blocked,
    • the web category that each page falls into, 
    • the web ratings for the web pages visited based on the rating that was set up for the related web category, 
    • the user name of who visited the web page and
    • when they visited each web page during that timeframe (Period and Date). 

    When clicking on any web page link in the listing, you can see more detail on how often the user has accessed this particular web page during that time. If needed, you can export this report as a CSV or PDF.
