This tab contains reports that display the data of various statistics measured for the selected document by the Web analytics module.

 

The From and To fields on the right can be used to enter a time period for the reports. Only hits that were logged during the specified interval will be included in the displayed data.

 

The following options allow you to choose which unit of time should be used in the reports:

 

•WebAnalyticsHour Hour
•WebAnalyticsDay Day
•WebAnalyticsWeek Week
•WebAnalyticsMonth Month
•WebAnalyticsYear Year

 

This selection determines the length of time which is represented by individual units on the horizontal axis of the report's graphs (if the Content option is chosen) and the precision that can be specified in the From and To fields.

 

You can switch between two types of reports, which contain the following statistics:
