Wavecrest products provide numerous reports that depict work group or individual user's Web activity. Most reports contain several tables that show different aspects of the activity. Below are examples of high-level, low-level, and automatic abuse detection reports.
High-Level Activity – The links listed below are excerpts from our most-used high-level report, "Site Analysis." They provide a quick look into a company's overall Web use.
Acceptability data: Activity totals grouped by your own “acceptability” criteria.
Top categories: Activity totaled and shown in categories, e.g., News, Porn, etc.
Top users' visits: Most active Web users, listed in descending order of total visits.
Abuse-Detection – Based on your company's Web use policy, you can determine and set how many visits are acceptable to each Web category in a 24 hour period. If this threshold is exceeded by any users, the reports will show it. The link listed below illustrates how Wavecrest's products automatically flag instances of abuse, based on your threshold criteria.
