Count columns

Columns for specified “item counts” display in the body of all drill down report views. The column for the current report type does not display and therefore cannot be selected.

Count columns

Category Count - displays the number of categories a user has visited, or the number of categories included within a given site. Categories are set up for the Web access logging device filter via the Settings menu option. It is possible for a site to be listed in more than one category, so even if a user has visited only one site, this column may count the user’s visit in two or three categories.

IP Count - displays the number of sites or categories visited by the IP address on the user’s machine.

User Count - displays the number of individuals who have visited a specific site or category.

Site Count - displays the number of sites a user has visited, or the number of sites in a category. This figure is based on the root name of the site. For example, if a user visits www.espn.com, www.msn.com, and www.foxsports.com, that user will have visited three pages. If that same user additionally visits www.espn.com/scores, the total number of sites visited would still count as three—and not as four—because the latter page is on the original ESPN site that was already counted.

Page Count - displays the total number of pages visited. A user may visit only one site, but visit 20 pages on that site. If a user visits a page with pop-up ads, these items would add to the page count. If a page has banner ads that link to other pages, these items also would factor into the page count. In categories that use a lot of pop-up ads—porn, gambling, and other related sites—the page count usually exceeds the number of objects per page.

By clicking the arrow to the right of any record in this column, the custom report view displays data for all pages visited, including hyperlinks to those pages (this is covered in greater detail in the next section ‘Detail Drill Down Report naviga- tion’).

TIP: If the date range that was specified at the Date Scope field is outside the scope of live data currently stored on the Server, when clicking the arrow button, a warning message displays to inform you that if you wish to proceed, the report will take a longer amount of time to generate.

Object Count - displays the number of objects on a Web page. All images, graphics, multimedia items, and text items count as objects. The number of objects on a page is generally higher than the number of pages a user visits.
