Hi,

This article was of a great help to me. This could have been even better if you could tell how to keep track of User-Website-Number of Hits. Yes this covers User and Number of Hits, but leaves blank which website was browsed.

How can I customize the site usage report. For an example if I wish to show the username instead of userid in usage report?

It would be interesting to have a report that shows data all over the portal, i.e. it is interesting to know what pages are the most visited in the whole portal.
