Filter reports to specific time ranges

This article applies to our On-Premise Appliance Filter and Firewall product only, not to Cloud.

 

You can filter some reports to show data from specific time ranges. To do this:

  1. Create or edit a custom report.
  2. Select the Guardian3 folder, then add one or more of the following sections to your report:
    • Browsing times
    • Domain session analysis
    • Individual user
    • Search terms
    • Suspicious search terms
    • Category activity
    • Group activity
    • IP activity
    • Domain activity
    • URL activity
    • User activity
    • Web trends
  3. Select the Options tab and select Advanced.
  4. Use the Time graph to select the time range:
    • The graph shows days of the week on the left and the hours of the day along the top. Each rectangle represents 15 minutes.
    • Select time blocks individually, or select and drag.
    • To enter times manually, select Edit in full-text mode and enter times in the format ‘Fri:8:15->8:37’. Then select Edit in chart mode to view the updated graph. Any time blocks edited in full-text mode show as dark blue.
    • To remove all blocks, select Clear.
  5. Add any other relevant sections, options, and filters to the report.
  6. Generate or save the report. The report will only include data from the selected time range.
