Web Filter Reporting

A Web filter report is a history of all web browsing on a device with a line-by-line record of information including the last accessed, URL, School, and web filter categories to name a few. 

You are able to use the web filter to view student browser activity at your various schools and filter to better allow an analysis of browser history for your schools and students, i.e. trends and multiple visits to certain websites.

The Web filter reports contain information pertaining to students and devices, including the following:

• Students Name
• Activity - URL visited or Domain accessed
• School - Name of the school within the district
• Profile - Profile that was active at the time of the entry
• Class - The name of the class that was taking place at the time the student was accessing the internet
• Status of the URL - allowed or blocked depending on the active profile settings
• Last Accessed date - The date with which the device last accessed the Activity.
• URL count - Count of the times the devices have accessed this URL
• Actions - Allows the adding of the URL or domain to the blacklist (Only seen and utilized from the Dashboard web filter report).
