Count columns
Columns for specified “item counts” display in the body of all drill down report
views. The column for the current report type does not display and therefore
cannot be selected.
Count columns
• Category Count - displays the number of categories a user has visited, or the
number of categories included within a given site. Categories are set up for the
Web access logging device filter via the Settings menu option. It is possible for
a site to be listed in more than one category, so even if a user has visited only
one site, this column may count the user’s visit in two or three categories.
• IP Count - displays the number of sites or categories visited by the IP address
on the user’s machine.
• User Count - displays the number of individuals who have visited a specific site
or category.
• Site Count - displays the number of sites a user has visited, or the number of
sites in a category. This figure is based on the root name of the site. For
example, if a user visits www.espn.com, www.msn.com, and
www.foxsports.com, that user will have visited three pages. If that same user
additionally visits www.espn.com/scores, the total number of sites visited would
still count as three—and not as four—because the latter page is on the original
ESPN site that was already counted.
• Page Count - displays the total number of pages visited. A user may visit only
one site, but visit 20 pages on that site. If a user visits a page with pop-up ads,
these items would add to the page count. If a page has banner ads that link to
other pages, these items also would factor into the page count. In categories
that use a lot of pop-up ads—porn, gambling, and other related sites—the page
count usually exceeds the number of objects per page.
By clicking the arrow to the right of any record in this column, the custom report
view displays data for all pages visited, including hyperlinks to those pages (this
is covered in greater detail in the next section ‘Detail Drill Down Report naviga-
tion’).
TIP: If the date range that was specified at the Date Scope field is outside the scope of live
data currently stored on the Server, when clicking the arrow button, a warning message
displays to inform you that if you wish to proceed, the report will take a longer amount of
time to generate.
• Object Count - displays the number of objects on a Web page. All images,
graphics, multimedia items, and text items count as objects. The number of
objects on a page is generally higher than the number of pages a user visits.
