Networking
This page displays the network data. The default view shows a reporting period of one day, with sheets for Total Daily Distinct Devices, Average Time To Start Playout, Buffering Rate, Buffering Ratio, and a chart showing Buffering Ratio, Buffering Rate, and Time to Start over the selected time period.
Drop-down filters
The top-right of the page contains a Show Filters button.
Clicking this causes six drop-down menus to appear directly below, allowing users to filter data by Connection Type, Content Quality, Application, Content Type, Device Platform, and Device Model respectively. The first three drop-down menus are single-select, whilst the latter three (each with a border frame) are multi-select. A Filters Summary is also shown to the right, which lists the currently selected filters and date.
To apply the selected filters, click the Apply button to the far-right.
When filters are shown, the Hide Filters button appears. Clicking this hides the filter options.
Below Apply, the Reset button also appears. Clicking this resets each filter selection to 'All’ as default.
Clicking Reset does not reset the selected Date to the report default, i.e., ‘Today’.
Date
The top right of the page shows a Date drop-down menu, with preset time intervals for Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 14 days, and Last 30 days. Selecting one of these options then clicking Apply loads the data.
Users can also select Custom Range, which causes the From and To date fields to appear below, and allows users to specify any time interval (provided dates are not in the future). Users must then click Apply to load the data.
A Back button is also shown at the top right of this page. Clicking it returns the user to the Overview page.
Below the Date drop-down menu, the report shows the selected Reporting Period day count and specific dates chosen.
