You can generate both presentation and investigative reports showing Internet browse time, the estimated amount of time a user spent accessing websites. No software program can tell the exact amount of time that someone spends viewing a site once it is open. One person might open a site, view it for a few seconds, and then take a business call before requesting another site. Someone else might spend several minutes reading a site in detail before moving to the next one.

A Log Database job (see Web protection reporting database jobs) calculates browse time based on configurable parameters. This job runs once a day, so browse time information can lag the actual log data.
