3. Use the tools in the right panel to create the desired drill down view.
NOTE: See ‘Summary Drill Down Report navigation’ for information on using the reporting
elements described in this sub-section.
4. The drill down view can be exported, saved, and/or scheduled to run at a spec-
ified time.
Summary Drill Down Report navigation
Continuing from the last section, this section is designed to help the administrator
learn how to navigate within the Summary Drill Down Report. The Drill Down report
is unique in terms of the seemingly endless ways data can be displayed, but it is
important to understand all of the functions within this tool in order to generate
meaningful reports.
Report columns
Filter and count columns display in the body of drill down report views. These
columns are used for specifying additional information to be included for records or
for sorting records by a different column.
Filter columns and buttons
Filter columns display after the column containing the record name, and precede
the Count columns (Category Count, IP Count, User Count, Site Count, Page
Count, Object Count, Time HH:MM:SS). Filter columns include an oblong button
for each record in the report view.
Filter columns and buttons
Clicking a specific filter button for a record gives more in-depth analysis on a given
record displayed in the current view. For the purposes of this evaluation, try
clicking on the oblong button in the “Pornography/Adult Content” row and “Cate-
gory/Users” column if there is any activity in that category row. This will bring up a
view of the top users for this category by page count.
