Top URL Categories—Extended

The Top URL Categories —Extended report is useful for administrators who want to receive more detailed information than the URL Categories report can provide.

For example, in a typical URL Categories report, you can gather information measuring bandwidth usage by a particular employee at a larger URL Category level. To generate a more detailed report that monitors bandwidth usage for the top ten URLs for each URL Category, or top five users for each URL Category, use the Top URL Categories —Extended report.

Note
The maximum number of reports that can be generated using this type of report is 20.
