Cyber-Time 4.1
Cyber-Time Reports
The Cyber-Time Reports are available to the system administrator to produce statistical and historical data on various quantitative and qualitaive aspects of system use.
To start the Reports, go to the Cyber-Time 4.1 program group under START- PROGRAMS. Click on Reports. Once the program runs, you will be presented with a windows containing four tabs. Each tab contains a specific report. Each report has its own options as far as what records are to be considered.
Each page has its own interface to allow the reports to be custom tailored to desired formats and groupings. Each report shares he "Produce Report" button, however. Clicking this button will produce all reports for preview and printing, except the two pie charts in the Applications Activity Page. Since these reports are previewed on the screen automatically, clicking the "Produce Report" button will send them directly to the printer.
The Receipts page is a listing of all available receipts currently in the system and allowing particular receipts to be re-printed. This report is capable of grouping the records by a date, a date range and by user. To select one of these criteria, simply click the radio button of the item to be chosen. If a date or date range have been selected, enter the dates in the text boxes, then click the "Show Records In Specified Group" button to create the grouping.
To preview or print a particular receipt, simple select it with the mouse cursor, then click the "Produce Report" button. The receipt will appear for preview.
This page provides two basic but very different reports for applications usage tracking.
The first report simply provides a comparison of applications in terms of how many times they were used. This is the Applications General Usage report. It provides a graphic interpretation of what tractable applications are being launched in relation to one another. For example, two tractable applications might be Microsoft Word and Corel Draw. In the instance illustrated below, the graphic shows a 50/50% pie chart. This indicates that Word and Corel Draw were launched the same number of time.
The Application Time Proportion report will show something completely different. It shows the amount of time the applications the were used relative to one another. In this case, it shows that Corel Draw was used around 62% of the time and Word was used about 38% of the time.
Each of these examples is for the entire set of historical tracking data the Cyber-Time has acquired. You can use the options on the left side of the window to group the data by a particular user, by a date or date range, and by workstation, all at the same time if needed. Simple click on the option needed, fill out requested information and place a check mark in the option box instructing Cyber-Time to use the constraints, and re-click the particular report you want to reveal the new data. If there is no data in the group parameters specified, no chart will appear.
The Revenue Analysis page can group receipts in various ways to produce a line item report of each receipt and how the total revenue acquired. Simple use the grouping options on the left of the window, fill in the information, and the grid will display the receipts under those parameters. At the bottom, a total will be presented that shows the summation of only the receipts that fit the specified parameters.
In this case, all receipts are being show for Carl. Additional parameters such as workstation and date and date ranges can be specified together or independently.
The summary report page is probably the most important report on Cyber-Time. It can be used with the entire set of data on the system or the data can be grouped according to a date or date range. This report provides all available statistics on system usage, revenue, averages and other data designed to provide as much information about the revenue and usage history as is possible.
