Reporting Scenarios
This collection of reporting scenarios is designed to help you use the client to
create typical snapshots of end user Internet activity. Each scenario is followed by
client setup information. Please consult the “How to” section in the index of the ER
Web Client User Guide for pages containing detailed, step-by-step instructions on
configuring and/or using the tools and features described in that scenario.
I. Executive Report and Drill Down Report exercise
In this exercise you will learn how to use Executive Reports to obtain a high level
overview of end user activity, and then use Drill Down Reports to obtain more
detailed information on specific user activity. You will also learn that there are two
basic types of Drill Down Reports (summary and detail reports), and various types
of reports you can generate for each of these two basic drill down report types.
Step A: Start with the dashboard for a high level activity overview
By default, the panel in the middle of the screen displays yesterday’s Executive
Report containing pre-generated data. Since the data has already been captured
from the previous day, the report loads quickly in your browser.
In the dashboard that displays near the top of the panel, click the thumbnail that
corresponds to the type of Executive Report you wish to view. For this example,
click “Top 20 Categories”:
This report shows the top 20 categories that were most frequently visited by users
yesterday.
Review the list of categories in this canned report. In a later step you will need to
select the category to be further investigated.
NOTE : Click the left or right arrow in the dashboard to view additional thumbnails.
