This is a look
at how many users were accessing the system overall. To be more accurate, this line graph shows
how many sessions were logged during the 10-week period, by week. A session is started when a user clicks on
a link pointing to one of the files associated with the new system and begins
performing what are called “search actions,” i.e., moving to another screen,
performing a search, or browsing.
Unfortunately, for purposes of the ENCompass log data, we found that
sessions ended not only by exiting the system and/or closing the browser but
also by clicking on the browser back button.
This meant that if users hit the browser back button rather than
navigational buttons provided in the interface itself, a new session ID would
be logged automatically. This problem
needs to be addressed in future in order to ensure a more accurate count of
session IDs.
