    Analytics Settings Screen

To enable and disable analytics reporting and logging

Click the Toggle Analytics Reports option if you want to enable/disable analytics reporting and logging of students' activity in Web Analytics.

Note

To turn off all logging for students using the Blocksi Enterprise Edition Chrome extension, set this option to Disabled. However, anonymous usage from your DNS-filtered devices still appear in your Analytics/Logs section.

To enable and disable search engine query results

Click the Search Engine Query option if you want to enable/disable search engine query results.

Warning

Disabling this option prevents Blocksi from logging all search engine queries.

To enable and disable verbose mode

Click Verbose Mode if you want the highest level of logging available. Please be aware this increases the number of records in your analytics and is recommended for troubleshooting scenarios rather than as a default setting.

Choose to prevent certain information from appearing on the Analytics screen of the Parent and Delegate Dashboards.

To set privacy settings

Select the checkbox to the left of the item that you want to hide on the analytics screens:

  • Hide User - When enabled, the user email is displayed as random numbers and letters in analytics on the Teacher, Admin, and Delegate Dashboards. On the Parent Dashboard, the user activity is not displayed.

  • Hide Organizational Unit - When enabled, the OU is displayed as random numbers and letters in analytics on the Teacher, Admin, and Parent Dashboards. On the Delegate Dashboard, the user activity is not displayed.

  • Hide IPs - When enabled, the IP table column is hidden in logs on Teacher, Admin, Delegate, and Parent Dashboards.

  • Hide Location - When enabled, the Location table column is hidden in logs on Teacher, Admin, Delegate, and Parent Dashboards.

Set up whether certain users, organizational units, or locations are excluded in analytics.

To set up exceptions

  1. Select whether you want to set up exceptions for users, organizational units (OUs), or locations from the first drop-down list.

  2. Type the name of the user, OU, or location in the second box.

  3. Click the Add Exception + button. The exception appears in the list below.
