LogView
This chapter contains information on different ways of using LogView
to view the extracted statistics.
Using LogView
LogView lets the user view the gathered statistics in an ordinary web
browser. If LogView has been installed on the Roxen virtual server
with the URL
http://hostname/intranet/
the default URL to the LogView configurations page is
http://hostname/intranet/logview/
However, the administrator may choose another location within the
virtual file system. The configurations page can also be found under
the Plugins/LogView tab in SiteBuilder.
The Plugins/LogView tab
If the administrator has specified that access to the LogView pages
should be password protected, the user will get a pop-up dialog where
he has to log in before he can access the LogView page.
On the top of all the LogView pages is located a button menu which
helps the user to navigate between the four pages Statistics,
Report and Advanced. These pages provide different ways of
looking at the gathered statistics.
The main difference between the Statistics, Reports and
Advanced pages lies in what possibilities the user has to
affect the presentation. The Reports page contains a number of
reports that has been prepared by the administrator, and is therefore
the most static one - all the user needs to do is to select which
report he wishes to see. The Statistics page is the easy way
to create reports, and provides basic possibilities to control what
statistics to see and in which form, and in the Advanced page
the user has even more freedom to control the details.
These three levels of control possibilities makes it possible to
provide quick-and-easy access for the users who either does not need
full control or can have the administrator or site creator tailor a
report for them, while the users that really need full control over
the details can still get it.
