4.2 Web Browsing Statistics

Many employees may browse non-work-related websites during office hours. The web browsing statistics feature allows administrators to track users' website activity, enabling timely detection of issues and appropriate actions.

Web browsing statistics can be divided into three modes:

1. By Website Category

Statistics by website category require that administrators first add categories and their website identifiers in "Category Management → Websites." This mode allows for macro-level statistics and analysis of different website categories.

By default, all categories' browsing time is included in the statistics. Websites not assigned to any category are automatically grouped under "Uncategorized." The list is sorted by browsing time, with websites visited for the longest time appearing first.

2. By Website Details

Statistics by website details list all visited websites, displaying browsing time for each, typically aggregated by domain. To filter by category, administrators can use the query conditions on the right.

If a website has a name set in the website library, it will display as "Website Name – Website"; if not, the domain name is shown directly.

In detail mode, the expand column function is disabled. By default, all websites are included, and the Top Items button can be used to select a subset for display.

3. Itemized Statistics

Itemized statistics calculate browsing time per computer for one or more website categories. Statistics can be generated for a computer group or the entire network.

By default, uncategorized website browsing time is calculated. Administrators can add or modify website categories in the query panel as needed. Clicking the Expand button will expand all subgroups, displaying statistics for all computers.

In addition to generating tabular reports, the console also produces statistical charts:
