The image below shows a sample report filtered for a specific range of time (for more information on basic filtering see Common Features of Advanced Usage Reports).

Advanced Filtering Options:

1. By default, 'Discussions viewed' are summed together and displayed on the graph. However, it is possible to see only a particular type of forum action by selecting it from the drop-down: 'Posts created' (ie. replies) or 'Discussions created'.
2. If desired, only unique actions (rather than total) can be selected to be plotted so multiple views of posts in the same forum by a single student would be counted only a single time for each time chunk (see next option for more info).
3. Granularity refers to how many points in time are calculated to display the graph. Use the slider to adjust the value and the exact number will be displayed to the right. By default, the entire time window (Mar 1, 2017 - Apr 30, 2017, in this example) is split into 16 equal chunks of time and actions/events are counted for each chunk. Increasing the granularity decreases the total length of each time chunk, granting better resolution. Note that requesting increased resolution will require more time to compute and may slow down the display of your report. If you’re curious about which portions of the graph represent the points, you can hold your mouse near a line on the graph and it will show you a tooltip indicating the closest point.
   
   

   Additional Information:

4. The y-axis for the graph is measured in the total number of occurrences of a particular forum action/event that are counted while processing the eClass event log.
5. The x-axis contains the dates (and times if appropriate) during which the events happened. By default, there are only a few time divisions and the graph is quite “rough”. Increase the granularity to get a more exact picture of what’s happening in your course.
6. The legend contains entries for each forum selected in the activity filter. If more than 10 entries were selected, arrow buttons will appear at the bottom of the legend to page through the results. Hover your mouse over an individual to get information specific to that individual.
   
7. Clicking this button will export the results to an excel spreadsheet.
8. Clicking this button will save a screenshot (in PNG) of the graph to your computer.
