The summary table shows statistics for these variables:
Subsessions
|
|
Number of successful connections to each of the products that can
be searched in CrossSearch. For example, if a user selects three
products in CrossSearch and executes a search, a subsession counts
in each of the three products.
|
|
Queries |
|
A query submits a request for results to a database. A query is
recorded when a user clicks the Search button in Form Search
or Concept Search.
|
At the bottom of the table are two rows showing:
Total Use |
|
Sum of the numbers in each column. This is the total
use for the year. |
|
Average Use |
|
Average number (arithmetic mean) for each column.
This is the average use for the year. |
If you selected the option to Include IP Addresses and Token IDs
on the select a report
page, then the table will have an additional column with this heading:
IP Address/Token ID. To the right of the IP Address or Token
ID in the same row are usage statistics for that identifier. The date
of usage is in the row above and to the left of the identifier.
For example, this report shows that on January 1, 2003, the person(s)
using a computer whose IP address is 123.45.678 logged onto CrossSearch
six times and searched ISI Proceedings and ISI Web of Science.
The user submitted twelve queries to both products.

Usage Summary
Graph
Usage data are presented in two types of graphs at the bottom of
the page:
- Usage is plotted on a two-dimensional graph for subsessions and
queries in each database.The values on the Y-axis (ordinate) show
the usage numbers for the dates plotted on the X-axis (abscissa).
- Also, two pie charts show the usage for each of the products that
can be searched in CrossSearch as a percentage of total CrossSearch
usage.
Note: If usage statistics are broken down by IP Address and
Token ID, no graph will appear. If you want to see usage data plotted
on a graph, return to the Usage Reports Home page. Then select CrossSearch again. On the page for selecting the type of usage
report, clear the check box Include IP Addresses and Token IDs.
