Custom Table Properties

[Requires Professional Edition]

This dialog allows you to specify custom table properties. You can manage the custom tables in the program options.

General Page
Table name - name of the table displayed in the report
Category - table category name. You can either choose an existing category or specify a new one.
Section - table section name. You can use the %TableName% macro in the section name.

Category and section names are used to determine location of the table in the report. They are also shown in the report contents. E.g. you can specify "Top Virtual Domains" as table name, "Access Statistics" as category and "Virtual Domains" as section.

Show before standard section - show custom table before a standard table/chart

Translate table and charts (if required) - use this setting to translate the table and associated charts when custom report language is specified in the program options or profile properties. You need to have a proper language file that contains translations for the strings used in the table to get it properly shown in the reports.

Data Page
You can specify main data, group data (if any), columns, base column and sort order used in the table. Data from the base column is used to sort the table and is also shown in the associated charts.

Main data and group data contain data based on hits (e.g. file name or status code) as well as data based on visitors (e.g. visitor referring URL). You can use both main/group data based on hits or visitors as well as specify main data based on hits with group data based on visitors and vice versa.

E.g. if you specify file name as main data and directory as group data, the program will show files grouped by directories. If you specify file name as main data and referring URL as group data, the program will show information on files requested by visitors that came from different referring URLs. If you specify referring URL as main data and file name as group data, the program will show information on referrers of visitors who requested different files.

If you choose user agent as main/group data, you can specify modification rules by clicking the "Custom" button.

Filters Page
Filters allow you to specify which information should be shown in the table.

You can use hit and visitor filters at the same time. In this case WebLog Expert first filters visitors and gets visitor data from the remaining visitors. Then it applies hit filters to the hits of these visitors and gets hit data from the hits.

Chart Page
You can create charts associated with the table if no group data is specified. Chart names can include the %TableName% macro.
