button.Selecting different filters will change the nature of the table or graph. Similarly, clicking on links within a table will also implicitly change the filters as you drill down into the data.
You can reset all of the filters back to the top of the data by clicking on
the button.
The first drop-down allows the user to select a particular Site to filter on. Note that by doing this, you will change the nature of the table or graph to show more detail.
The second drop-down select date filters. You can drill-down into the data either on a Year/Week basis or by Year/Month/Day.
The third field allows you to select a particular host name or IP address. If
you enter a host name into the text box, then it will be automatically
resolved into an IP address by the system, and the Site will be changed to
the correct site for that host. You must click on the 
button when you
have modified this box.
If you are in SurfWatch mode, then there are two additional dropdowns to select the Blocking Reason, and whether or not to show only Denied pages.
Go back up to parent Date level (possibly also going to parent Site/Host level)
Go up to parent Site/Host level
Click here to select sorting by this column.
Click here to remove sorting by this column. (This is the current sort column)
Click here for detail on this column or on the entire table.The table will have various hotlinks within it. These allow you to 'drill down' into the data (where possible) and look more closely at the data that make up a given row, column or cell.
Note that some links will not be shown. This is because it is not possible to drill down at this point, either because the data is not available or because it would be computationaly unfeasible to do so.
Sometimes (when looking at older data) you will drill down to find an empty table. This is because the data at this level has expired and been deleted from the system, and only the top-level summary records remain.
When in SurfWatch mode, an extra link appears in the top left-hand section of the table. This allows you to switch between having rows split by Blocking Reason, or by Site or Host name. Although the Filter is active in both cases, you cannot drill down when in Reason mode.
If a graph contains too many column and bars, then it may be rendered as blank (the bars are too thin to show). If this happens, use the Column limit on the Toolbar to limit to the last (for example) 10 columns, or (if you are viewing a Clusterd Bar graph) limit the Rows to (for example) the top 10.
The first three buttons select Table or one of two Graph types. Clicking on
one of these will immediately alter the central frame.
The next section controls how the data in the table, or the labels on the graph, are formatted and what the data mean.
The next button toggles the font size. This will allow you to decrease the
font size and fit more table lines on the page.
The final button toggle DNS resultion mode. This only takes effect when
looking at a list of IP addresses, at which point the system will attempt to
convert these into machine names. Note that this can greatly increase the
amount of time required to render the data!The final section of the toolbar contains the following buttons:
Help button
Bookmark: This causes the browser location bar to display a complete URL
that will generate the current page. You can use this to generate bookmarks
for your favourite tables and graphs.
Export: This exports the current table to a tab-delimited file, and sends this to the browser to be saved to disk. This files is MIME Type text/tab-delimited-values
and you should configure your browser to act appropriately on this file type.
Logout: When you have had to log in to access some data, this will allow
you to log out and return to the top of the data.
Exit: This is the same as clicking the 'Main Menu' button on the Filter Bar.
When then system authenticates you, it sets a cookie for that session that
persists until you have been inactive for a length of time configured in the
configuration file. After this time, you will be prompted to re-authenticate.
You can alternatively log out immediately by clicking the logout button,
Individual users can be granted a number of different levels of authority. In addition, you can specify one or more sites to restrict the higher levels of rights to - for example, if someone has 'Full Detail' rights restricted to 'Pavilions', then they cannot see the per-machine analysis for Horsham.
