The click overlay report shows visual statistics on clicked links. The report can be enabled in Profile Properties > Report when the HTML report format is selected [Requires Professional Edition]. The report is shown in WebLog Expert Report Viewer:

WebLog Expert Report Viewer is provided with WebLog Expert Std/Pro 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 file (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 View > Refresh Marks 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 View > Link Marks command to hide or show the marks.
