Use presentation reports to create bar charts, trend charts, or tabular reports showing Internet activity in HTML, PDF, or Microsoft Excel (XLS) format.

Presentation reports may be used:

After drilling down into investigative reports data requiring additional analysis.

A presentation report is often available that provides additional detailed information that can be used for comparisons over a longer time period, across more users, including more categories, and so on.
