The click overlay
report shows visual statistics on clicked links. The report can be
enabled in when the HTML report format
is selected. The report is shown in WebLog Expert Report
Viewer:
WebLog Expert Report
Viewer is provided with WebLog Expert Std/Pro/Ent or can be
downloaded separately for free.
When the
Create click
overlay report setting is enabled
in the profile
properties, Report.wler
file is created in the output folder. This
file contains information on visited pages including clicked links,
referrers, search engines, etc. It also contains name of the HTML
report index page (e.g. index.htm) that is
opened in the viewer at startup. Files with the .wler extension are
associated with WebLog Expert Report Viewer so you can open them
from Windows Explorer without a need to reanalyze the
profile.
You can either click
the Click Overlay button on the toolbar or click the Click Overlay
report category in the HTML report
contents to view this report. You can also click the
Report
button on the toolbar to return to the
HTML report.
Click Overlay
Link marks
show percent of times visitors clicked them while viewing the
current page. You can hover cursor over a mark to view tooltip
containing exact number of clicks for the link.
If a
page contains multiple links to the same resource (URL),
the same number of clicks and percentage
is shown for all of them since it is not possible to determine
which particular one of these links was clicked.
You
can refresh the marks using the command
from the main menu or by pressing the F6 key. It may be useful if
your site uses DHTML so some links may be hidden or shown after the
page is loaded. You can also use
the
command to hide or show the
marks.
