Historian Track Your Computer Usage Historian is the single solution for recording, auditing, and reporting computer use. Historian tracks a number of activities independently of each other. Historian can, at the user's discretion, record application usage, file access, user activity and job costing information, and pages sent to the printer.

Historian consists of two separate functional components, a recorder and a reporter. The recording component runs as a system service. It starts invisibly as soon as the machine starts and continues silently in the background. The recording component is a very efficient optimized service which does all intensive processing only when the machine is idle. No decrease in performance should be noticed while the recorder is running. The reporter is a multiple document application which allows the usage information to be displayed in a variety of ways. Additionally, the reporter has export capabilities to place usage information in standard data formats for custom queries and aggregation with third party data manipulation tools.

Historian makes it easy to see who modified files, ran applications, accessed web pages, and printed pages, and when the operation was performed. Historian's collection of usage information will fascinate you.

Record and Audit Usage

• Records all file access and user activity
• Provides audit trail of application, printer and file use
• Summarize file usage by user, application, or time

Improve Ergonomics

• Reports active and idle time by user
• Can suggest user take a break after duration of continuous activity
• Automatically logs users off a network after a specified period of inactivity.

Track use of the Internet

• Provides audit trail of web page access by user and time
• Records every web page ever accessed
• Tracks time spent online

Track Job Costing Info

• Record time spent on a specific client or job
• Summarize job time by application and user
• Tracks pages printed by job and user

		Historian is able to track time spent on certain applications and record the information. Once the data is recorded the information can be retrieved in graph form as shown above.
Historian is also able to track all file actions. All measures of computer use can be reported by user, time and date, or by project.
