History of applications (processes)

Application history is a statistics module which can be accessed by clicking on the toolbar on the Statistics tab or by selecting Statistics History of processes from the main menu.

Each process (application) which is run on a user’s computer is monitored by Agent. On the basis of collected data, which is subsequently sent to uplook, the program provides complete activity history for a specific application. This history is presented as a table with columns containing the following information:

• an application (process) name,
• a name of a user who ran an application,
• the date and time the application was run,
• the time the application was closed,
• application activity percentage which means a comparison of application activity time with the time it was in the foreground,
• the time an application was running in the foreground,
• the number of key presses,
• the number of mouse clicks.

The Summary table presents a summary overview for selected applications. The subsequent columns include the following information:

• an application (process) name,
• total time the application was running,
• total time the application was running in the foreground,
• total time the application was (active) used,
• application activity percentage,
• total number of keys presses,
• total number of mouse clicks.

Displayed data can be sorted by columns. To sort data, click a column header.

By default, the history shows all processes, which have been run on a user’s computer. It also applies to processes which are not applications and have not been used by a user. You can limit your analysis to applications, which were used in the foreground. For this purpose, select Statistics Only Foreground from the main menu or click on the toolbar.

To facilitate the analysis, you can specify aliases for processes names. To do so, right click on a selected process and select Application Names Aliases… from the displayed context menu. A dialogue box for aliases will be displayed on the screen.

It is possible to analyse only a selected application. For this purpose, select a desired application from the drop-down Application list. Whereas by selecting the (System) option, you can display data for all applications.
