Use Web Site Event Criteria to
focus the Dashboard view of Web Site Events by keywords, program, domain,
or focus / active time.
Narrow web site events that the Dashboard retrieves by searching for specific words.
To search for keywords:
Type the keywords you want to match (for example, "jobs") and then select fields in which to find the match. For more about keyword matching, click here.
Include partial matches: Check to look for a partial match; for example, the search word "man" would match "mankind" or "manage" in any of the following data fields.
URL: Match the "Search for" words to characters in the web site's URL. In the above example, you would be able to check up on time spent at "http://www.jobsrus.com" or "http://www.jobs.com."
Window Caption: Match the "Search for" words to text displayed in the window caption. The window caption usually contains the browser program name plus the currently displayed web site or web site page title.
Retrieve web site events based on the program used to access them (Internet Explorer, Netscape, or other browser programs).
To view Web Sites Visited by program:
Specify individual programs or groups of programs you wish to include or exclude. For example, you might EXCLUDE Internet Explorer to focus on other programs being used to access the web. See Viewing by Program.
You can filter the data by web site domain. For example, you could see how much time users are spending at monster.com looking at jobs, or cnn.com reading the news.
To retrieve web sites by specific domain:
Specify individual domains or groups of domains you wish to include or exclude. For example, you might EXCLUDE your company and client domains for a better picture of web surfing at non-work related domains. See Viewing by Domain.
Set your crosshairs on the web sites receiving the most active surfing (scrolling, using the mouse, typing) and extended focus (the Window had the front position on the desktop). For example, you could request to see web sites had front focus for more than 15 minutes. This can show which users are being distracted by web sites, and which are doing work as they should at appropriate web sites.
To set the web activity time:
Make a selection from each of the following lists. The default is "All Active Time." For example, you could choose "Focus Time is greater than or equal to 15 Mins."
From the first drop-down list, choose the type of time to use as criteria:
Active Time: Time where users were actively clicking, scrolling, or typing in the web site.
Focus Time: Time the web page had front focus on the user's computer.
Total Time: Total time the web site was up on the user's computer.
From the second list, choose <ALL> or an operator:
|
Operator |
Definition |
|
All |
all amounts of time |
|
> |
Greater than |
|
>= |
Great than or equal to |
|
< |
Less than |
|
<= |
Less than or equal to |
|
= |
Equal to |
|
!= |
Not equal to |
If you do NOT choose <All>, in the third text box, type a number.
From the final list select Hrs,
Mins, or Secs
to set the time period.
For example, set a Focus Time of > 3 minutes to see web sites where
users are spending substantial time.
Finally, you can filter web site activity down to just those sites that users attempted to view but were blocked, sites where files were downloaded, or sites that were redirected to other, possibly inappropriate sites. The information returned by this criteria can help you fine tune Website Filtering or Internet port blocking.
To view by type of URL:
Check the options you want.
<All> - Retrieves all web sites (viewed, blocked, redirected).
BLK_RD - Blocked Redirect - Retrieves only the web sites where the requested domain was redirected to a blocked domain. For example, the user requested sitexyz.com, and was redirected to badsitexyz.com, which was blocked.
BLK_RDTR - Blocked Redirector - Retrieves only the web sites where the domain was blocked and the user was redirected to a different blocked site. For example, if MSNBC.COM was blocked, but the user was redirected onto MSN.COM, this captures only the second domain.
Blocked - Retrieves only the web sites requested by users that were blocked. This would include the above two options.
Download - Retrieves only the sites where the user downloaded a file. For example, the user may have downloaded an executable program or a .PDF file from the web site.
Post - Retrieves only the web site pages where the "POST" method passes information from a web page form to the server.
Redirected - Retrieves unblocked web site pages where the user was redirected to another URL.
Redirector - Retrieves unblocked sites that did the redirecting.
Web - Retrieves only the sites where the user accessed an unblocked web site. This would include the above two options.
