Gauge score methodology

The numerical score displayed inside the URL dashboard
gauge icon is based upon: The library categories included in
the gauge, the threat score assigned to each library cate-
gory, and the total score of all end users assigned to a
specific gauge. The score is calculated as follows: Page
count, plus blocked object count, multiplied by the threat
score assigned to the library category.
For example: A group administrator sets up a custom gauge
labeled "Unacceptable Material" that includes the following
library categories: Pornography/Adult Content, Child
Pornography, and Shopping. Pornography/Adult Content
and Child Pornography have been assigned a threat score
of "3" and Shopping has been assigned a threat score of "2".
Bob, Larry, and Sue are included as members to monitor in
the custom gauge. In this example, Bob accesses a Web
page categorized as Pornography, and Sue goes to a Web
page categorized as Shopping. As a result of these end
users' activity, the gauge shows a "score" of "5" (score of "3"
for Bob plus a score of "2" for Sue).
