Hello,

is it possible to hide the authenticated usernames in the dynamic HTML report?

A user must read the unique user number (not on the basis of the IP address) without being able to see the usernames. Our employee organization forbids it!

Can I maybe just hide the column with the usernames?

Thank you for your help.

Do you have a special username-to-ID list and wish to list IDs instead of usernames? In such case you can replace the usernames with IDs by modifying the "Authenticated Users" table.

To do it, open Options > Report > Tables. Select the Visitors > Top Authenticated Users table and click the "Edit..." button. Enable the "Block table updates" option (so the table won't be reseted if you update the program) and open the "Data" tab. On this tab click the "Custom..." button to the right of the "Main data" combo box.

You can specify custom modification rules here, for example:

John $= 1
Kevin $= 2

You can find more information on the modification rules in the built-in help or at http://www.weblogexpert.com/help/wlex...

It's not possible to hide the Username column and is this case there won't be meaningful data to show in the table.

Hello and thank you for your reply!

The option is great but our users are changing daily. Therefore it is impossible for any user to maintain an alias.

Unfortunately, the wildcard function also does not work as desired. It minimizes all users to a single user and falsified the results. :-(

Is not there a wildcard function, which processes the user individually so that the result is not distorted?

Example:

Before:

DOMAIN\abc1
DOMAIN\abc2
DOMAIN\abc3
DOMAIN\...

After that:

DOMAIN\censored
DOMAIN\censored
DOMAIN\censored
DOMAIN\...

Thank you for your help.

There is no such option, the same values (like DOMAIN\censored) are always merged in report tables. Unfortunately it seems that there is no way to get anonymized reports you need.

Hello,

is it possible to display the number of authenticated users in the dashboard?

Can you program it for us?

Thanks for your help.

It's not possible to show this information now. We'll consider adding this feature but it is unlikely that we'll implement it in the near versions of the program.

Okay, thank you for your efforts.

I think the thread can now be closed.
