How do I track internet usage during specific times only?

BrowseReporter has a feature called Tracking Scheduler that enables you to schedule specific tracking times. Collecting information at all times may be unnecessary. This tool is useful when you want to monitor and track employees’ internet and application usage during business hours only.

Through the URL Tracking Scheduler, you can schedule the date and time range for collecting Internet browsing activity and application usage data. Outside of these schedules, no data will be collected. This helps to maintain the database size and eliminate “noisy” data. Below is an example of how to use the URL Tracking Scheduler.
