Statistics Server 5.0 - Report Interface

The Statistics Server LiveStats interface offers a near infinite number of Web statistics reports. There are 40 major reports and most have zoom views that show more details. Most reports can be viewed for any day, week, month or range up to 93 days in the previous year. The "Who's On", "Summaries" and "Watches" have fixed ranges.

Topics Discussed:

Report List

Reports are selected from the expanding menu located on the left side of the Live Stats interface. Click on any of the following reports for a detailed description:

Selecting Report Period

Statistics Server records up to 365 days of history for a Web site. Reports can only be selected within that time period. Day, week, month, and range queries up to 93 days (quarter of the year) are supported.

When a report period is selected it becomes a global setting and every report you go to after that will query the same report period. "Query Information" (report period) is always shown at the top of reports.

Use the "Display by" control to define your query.
Day Select by clicking on any day of the month in the calendar.
Week Select by clicking Sunday for any week in the calendar.
Month Use the "<Prev" and "Next> buttons to select.
Range Use the "<Prev" and "Next> buttons select the first day in the range query followed by the last day. A maximum of 93 days can be displayed including the selected days.

Time Stamp

All reports are time stamped showing server time at the moment the report was generated.

Zoomed Views

On many reports you will see magnifying glasses indicating a detailed report is available for the adjacent item. The globally selected report period is automatically applied to detailed reports.

Help System

Popup help is available for each report.

Refresh Button

The Refresh button forces Statistics Server to calculate a new report. Note the time stamp located in the upper left corner of the report showing report generation time.

Printing Reports

Statistics Server can generate a printable version of a report anywhere the "Print" icon is displayed. Printable reports contain no navigation controls such as buttons. The Web Browser "Print" command is used to send the report to the printer.

  1. Select the report you want to print then click the "Print" button.
  2. Use your Web Browser "File/Print" command to send the print job to your printer.
  3. Use your Web Browser "Back" button ( <- ) to return to the Live Stats interface.

Export CSV

The Export button is used to download files containing statistics data in CSV (Comma Separated Variables) format. Many database packages support CSV imports. To save the CSV to hard disk:

  1. Select the report you want to export then click the Export button.
Back Button
The Back button is used to take you back from zoomed reports to the main report.
