GLOBAL ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 1: SYSTEM SCREEN

Configure Quota Hit Settings

Enter the number of Seconds Per Hit to indicate how much time will be applied towards a “hit” (URL access) in any category with a quota. The default is 10 seconds per hit. The entry in this field combines with the minutes entered in the quota from the filtering profile to determine the amount of time the end user can access URLs in the specified passed library group/category in that profile.

A quota can be set for an amount of time ranging from one minute to 1439 minutes (one day minus one minute). A hit can be set for an amount of time ranging from one second to 3600 seconds (one hour).

As an example of how a quota works in conjunction with hits, if a quota is set to 10 minutes and the number of seconds per hit is set to 10 seconds, then the user will be blocked from accessing URLs in the library group/category when 60 hits are made to that category—i.e. 600 seconds (10 minutes) divided by 10 seconds.

NOTE: The Centralize Hits on Source field is greyed-out since all hits are centralized on this unit.

TIP: After making all configuration settings in this window during this session, click Apply.

Reset Quotas

Quotas are automatically reset at midnight, but also can be manually reset on demand or scheduled to be reset at specific times each day.

Reset Quotas Now

Click Reset Now to reset all quotas to zero (“0”). Users currently blocked from accessing URLs because of a quota time limit will now be able to access URLs in any library/ group category with a quota.
