Reports are available only in a registered version of the program. If you are using a Demo version, you can register it.

For analyzing the web server performance it is convenient to have the information about spider visits in a table form. This possibility is given to you with the Report Wizard, which can be set up in the log analyzer tab.

Report Wizard consists of three steps.

During the first step user selects one of the three available types of reports: report on spider visits, report on indexed pages, and on dates of visits. Also, you can choose one of the available profiles - report settings. If you want to change settings on the second step of the Wizard, select Custom. Profiles are saved separately for every type of report. Just after the installation there are no saved profiles in the program, so the selection field is not available.

Following the second step you enter reports settings. You can use program's default settings and go over to the third step. But if you want to save your settings for future use, enter the name for this new profile in the Save filter as field.

Performing the third step you configure reports appearance. You can select if you want to use header, footer or apply one of the available styles for reports:

• Default
  

  
  

• Monochrome
  

  
  

• Black-and-white
  

  
  

A user can create headers and footers, which can be used in the reports later. For this, use Header And Footer Editor, which is launched from the menu Options>Report Customization.

A sample report.

Report Customization

For adjusting and improving the appearance of reports Header and Footer Editor is used. It allows you to create running titles you would like to see in your reports. In this case it is a fragment of an HTML file. Having created it once you can insert it into your further reports.

After you run the editor you will see the window, where the program suggests you to create a new Header or Footer, open existing, or open an HTML file for adaptation.

If you create a new Header (Footer), a window with a toolbar and a text field appears, where you can type text, insert pictures and hyperlinks. On the toolbar you will see instruments you are accustomed to work with in other editors. These are buttons for copying, cutting, pasting, setting font parameters (size, type, color), aligning indents, creating ordered and unordered lists. You can insert a picture into your header or footer, adjust it visually and set its parameters. Also, there is a button for inserting hyperlinks into your document. Some of the mentioned above functions are available in the context pop-up menus.

Also in the left part of the window there is a combo box with the list of styles available for reports. Depending on the style you select, the appearance of the document will changes. So you can preview what your header or footer will look like. To save the created or edited document, click Save on the toolbar. The following dialog window will appear:

According to the type of the document you are working at (header or footer), check boxes will be selected. So, if at the beginning of your work you stated that you wanted to create a new header, the check box Save As Header will be selected. If you want to save the document both as header and footer, select both check boxes. After you save the document, a line in the status bar will show what kind of document you are working at.

If you need to edit an existing header or footer, select Load HTML on the toolbar. The editor window will appear, where you should select Open Existent and you will have access to the existing headers and footers.

Work with existing HTML files does not differ from the work with existing headers and footers. Load a file and later save it as a header or footer.
