You can select either the Grid View tab or the Chart View tab to view your data:

Grid View—View the comprehensive details of web filtering events in a tabular format that includes sortable columns. You can group the events using the Group By option. For example, you can group the events based on source country. The table includes information such as the event name, time, source IP, source country, and so on. Table 1 describes the fields on the Grid View page.
Chart View—View a brief summary of all the web filtering events in your network. The top of the page has a swim lane graph of all the screen events. You can use the widgets at the bottom of the page to view critical information such as, top sources, Top URLs blocked, and Top URL Categories Blocked. Table 2 describes the widgets on the Chart View page.

Field	Description

Text box	Displays the filter parameter that you selected from the filter list. Note: In the filter statement the following limitation exists. You can use only one operator at a time. You can use only one instance of the criteria or parameter in one filter statement. For example, if you have used & operator and the parameter Event-Name once, I cannot use them again in the same filter statement CORRECT USAGE: Event-Name = rt_flow_session_close & application=TELNET WRONG USAGE: Event-Name = rt_flow_session_close & Event-Name = rt_flow_session_create WRONG USAGE: Event-Name = rt_flow_session_close & source-address = x.x.x.x & application = TELNET Note: The filter statement is NOT case-sensitive.
