Web Sites Visited Recording

The Client records addresses (URLs) of Web sites visited. For each web site visited, the Client will record:

What is Recorded?

Active Time

When a Web Site event is recorded, part of the information recorded about a visited page is how long a user was determined to view that Web page; this is Active Time. If a user is typing, clicking the mouse, or moving the mouse while viewing a Web page, then they are determined to be active in that Web page. The Inactivity Timeout controls the amount of time the Client should wait after mouse or keyboard activity has stopped when viewing a Web page, before determining that the user is no longer active in the Web page. By default, this Inactivity Timeout is three minutes, which means a user will be determined NOT active on a Web page if typing or mouse activity stops after three minutes.

  • When the Active Time is calculated for a Web page visit, if the inactivity time is exceeded, all continuing inactivity—including the inactivity setting time—is assumed to be inactive time. It is NOT counted as part of the Active Time for that Web page visit. Active time for a Web page visit is only considered that time when the Inactivity Timeout has not been reached.

  • The Inactivity Timeout setting is shared by both the Programs and Web Site recording events. Changing this setting will change the timeout for both Program and Web Site recording.
