Getting acquainted with the portal
The [Portal] is where you can view detailed reports of your browsing history.
The Lucidview Portal can also be used by managers to monitor their subordinates' browsing history.
To see what a manager can do and how, go here.
The Portal
Log in
When you follow the link given to you by your weekly browsing report email, or go to https://portal.lucidview.net you must enter your Lucidview username and password and click the Login button
Browsing reports
Upon successful login you will be taken to a page that, for a normal user, will have only the options to view your browsing history, and ,if your company has taken this option, your email reports.
Viewing Browsing reports
When you click on Browsing reports you are presented with a menu where you can
- Set the period of time for the browsing reports, by either manually entering the values, or using the handy calender tool next to each date/time field.
- Setting the server from which browsing data should be pulled. For all purposes this should be set to "All'".
- Setting a "search by" criteria, this is more for managers than for single users.
For a normal user all you need to be able to do is choose your space of time from which the report should be pulled and click on the "Go" button.
What am I looking at?
After clicking the "Go" button you will see a summary of the data you have requested.
At a glance you will see
- Users - How many users fall into your search criteria, if you are a normal user you will always see only 1 user's data, your own.
- Sites - How many sites you have visited between the start and end date that you specified.
- Denied Users - This is connections that were denied, this happens mostly when you typed in your login incorrectly or a program tries to connect to the internet and isn't allowed access because it isn't using your Lucidview username and password, here is a growing list of programs that need to be explicitly told to authenticate using your login details.
- Bytes - The amount of data used.
- Average - This will be the same as Bytes, a manager will se the amount of data used divided by users in his search query
- Average Time - This is your time spent browsing, a manager will see the average time of all the users in his search criteria
- Cache - This is data cached by us, mostly this is Windows updates ,anything that is in cache will be accessed faster than normally.
- Text - The amount of TEXT traffic in the given time period.
- Images - The amount of IMAGES browsed in the given time period.
- Cloud Services - All the cloud services used in the given time, this includes secure on-line banking, GoogleApps, and off-site cloud service solutions
- Mail- The amount of E-MAIL traffic in the given time period.
- Media- The amount of MEDIA, such as video, traffic in the given time period.
- Downloads - The amount of DOWNLOADS in the given time period.
- Updates - The amount of program of operating system UPDATES in the given time period.
- Other - Un-labeled traffic, this is sometimes... but not always... "smut".
Your actual browsing?
By clicking on "Users(X)" you wil be presented with a list of all the users' browsing reports you can view.
You will only be able to see yours. By clicking on your Username you will open a detailed list of all the sites you visited.
By clicking on "TIME" you will be presented with a timeline graph stating the amount of data traffic for each hour.
Here we can see that between 11 AM and 12 AM this user only used 1MB while on news24.com.
