It enables network, security and human resources administrators to create customizable dashboards that provide at-a-glance, role-based overviews of user activity while its intuitive drilldown navigation simplifies access to deeper details, such as Web usage patterns by access attempts, access by category or time, blocked sites or many other metrics.

The flexibility of the Reporter platform provides enterprise administrators with multiple views into Web activity and the ability to customize dashboards for fast and easy access to the information that is most relevant to their areas of responsibility, the release added.
