Configuring your report settings

Web Stats allows you to configure the report settings as desired by changing the top table keyword options.

To configure the report setting, click the "User mode" drop-down menu and select "Advanced". Set the "Report settings" as desired. Click the "Update Report" or "Create New Report" button to save the changes. To discard changes, either exit the application or switch back to Basic mode.

You must create a report using all log files available in log directory in order to apply changes made to the report settings.

The "Report settings" options are described in detail below:
 

Time periods

The yearly (index) report shows statistics for a 12-month period, and links for each month. The monthly report has detailed statistics for that month, with additional links to any URL's and referrers found.
 

Top Entry and Exit Pages

The Top Entry and Exit Pages give a rough estimate of what URL is used to enter your site, and what the last pages viewed are. Because of limitations in the HTTP protocol, log rotations, etc. this number should be considered a good "rough guess" of the actual numbers. It will give a good indication of the overall trend where users come into, and exit your site.

Entry - This option specifies the number of entries to display in the "Top Entry Pages" table. To disable the table, use a value of zero (0).

Exit - This option specifies the number of entries to display in the "Top Exit Pages" table. To disable the table, use a value of zero (0).
 

Agents

This option specifies the number of entries to display in the "Top User Agents" table. To disable the table, use a value of zero (0).
 

Countries

This option specifies the number of entries to display in the "Top Countries" table. To disable the table, use a value of zero (0).
 

Top Referrers and All Referrers

The Top Referrers option specifies the number of entries to display in the "Top Referrers" table of sites that have referred people to your website. To disable the option, enter a value of zero (0).

The All Referrers option will display a report of all referrers to a site in a separate HTML page. By default, the All Referrers option will be off. The option can be enabled by changing its setting to "on."

It should be noted that in order for the All Referrers report to be generated, the number set in the Top Referrers option must be less than the website's actual number of referrers. If there are less than 5 referrers in total, the All Referrers report cannot be generated.
 

Sites

This option specifies the number of entries to display in the "Top Sites" table. To disable the table, use a value of zero (0).

URLs

This option specifies the number of entries to display in the "Top URLs" table. To disable the table, use a value of zero (0).
