SchoolProtect - Creating Reports
A variety of reports can be generated by SchoolProtect. These can be either scheduled reports or on-demand reports. Scheduled reports run periodically at the intervals set when setting up the report. On demand reports run once only.
Reports can be used for a variety of purposes, for example to track user activity or to troubleshoot web filtering settings when something does not work as expected.
