This Best Filtering and Reporting Practices section is provided to help you get
started using the Web Filter, Threat Analysis Reporter, and Enterprise Reporter
Web Client applications. Each of these applications has its own sub-section with
scenarios for configuring and using basic tools in the user interface of each
product.
In the Web Filter Usage Scenarios sub-section you will learn how to:
• block user access to filtering categories, URL and search engine keywords, and
various pattern types and file types
• set up user profiles or accounts to bypass blocked filtering categories
• create a custom category for URLs and keywords you wish to block
• establish time quotas and time profiles for user access to specified library cate-
gories
• lock out end users from Internet access after a designated number of hits to
specified sites
In the Threat Analysis Reporter Usage Scenarios sub-section you will learn how to:
• navigate screens to access tools for configuring the Threat Analysis Reporter
• drill down into a dashboard gauge to target sources of unusually high Internet
activity
• create a gauge that will monitor a user group's Internet activity
• set up an email alert for notification of potential Internet usage threats on the
network
In the Enterprise Reporter Usage Scenarios sub-section you will learn how to:
• access Executive Reports to obtain a high level snapshot of end user Internet
activity
• use Drill Down Reports to conduct an investigation of specific Internet activity
• modify a report view
• create a double-break report to combine two sets of criteria into one report
• generate a summary report view and a detail report view
• create a new report view
• export a report view to an output format
• save a report
• schedule a report to run on a regular basis to capture Internet activity at set
intervals of time
• create a custom category group
• generate a summary report and a detail report for a custom category group
• create a custom user group
• generate a summary report and a detail report for a single user group
NOTE: The ER must collect data for a full day in order to generate Executive Reports. To
use Drill Down Reports, the ER must collect data for a couple of hours. Therefore, it would
be best to wait a day after the ER has been installed and fully operational before beginning
any of the exercises described in the Enterprise Reporter Usage Scenarios sub-section.
