Web Usage (Trending) report

The Web Usage (Trending) report shows recent trends in web activity on your Windows and Chromebook devices. The trend is based on time spent on a webpage, not the number of visits. The report shows the 25 webpages with the most notable increases in activity between today and the previous week.

On the Reports page, you can access this report from Absolute view or the Events category.

The report includes web activity detected in the Chrome browser on supported Windows and Chromebook devices only. The Web Usage policy needs to be activated on each device.

After the Web Usage policy is activated on a device, you'll need to wait a day to see web usage data in the report. After a few days, if there is less activity than expected, ensure that all prerequisites are met for all devices.

By default, no filters are applied to this report and you can't add any filters.

The report includes a default collection of web activity information organized in the following columns:
