Activity and Compliance Report in Linewize Filter

Updated
This article is for IT Support. 

  Note

Our Activity and Compliance Report is an optional Linewize Filter feature. Contact your Linewize Success or Account Manager to access the Report.

Linewize Filter’s Activity and Compliance Report was designed to support schools with compliance reporting. The report allows you to explore student trends, analysing blocked versus allowed traffic and signatures, and usage patterns by time of day.

Before you begin

To use the Activity and Compliance Report, you must have:

  1. Configured an Authentication Service in Linewize Filter.
  2. Configured Users and Groups in Linewize Filter.
  3. Created Content Filtering Policies that block and allow themes and categories.
  4. Either the Filtering/Reporting Administrator or Owner/Global Administrator user role.

Review your Calendar settings to see if any time periods are excluded from reporting.

Access the Activity and Compliance Report

  1. In Linewize Filter, go to Reports > Activity and Compliance.
  2. Select the From Date
    Enter a new start and end date, or select from the preset values.

      Important

    While the Date filter may allow you to select an earlier range or preset, reports will not return or download data older than three months from the current date. If the report displays an error message, select a shorter date range.

  3. Select Group > any value
    Enter the name of the group whose report you want to access.

      Note

    Groups in the Activity and Compliance Report are synced only once every 24 hours. Any changes to group names will be reflected in the next sync, displaying the latest name.

  4. Select the Load icon.
