In the statistics manager you can see which pages are requested by visitors on your site, teachers on the Protected Area and hits that are coming from local IP addresses.
You have to interpret the figures with care. When you work on the system and check pages, these 'hits' are also counted.
And when your school uses the school site as the start page for the browser, you can have many 'hits' which are meaningless.
This bias in page hits can be slightly neutralized by selecting IP addresses that will not affect the statistics.
In this way it is possible to filter out, for example, maintainers addresses, or a whole range of IP addresses.
This is done in the configuration section.
When needed, you can clear the statistics.

In the configuration section you can specify IP addresses.
Hits from these addresses will be counted as 'local hits'.
By clicking on 'Configuration', you will see:

Explanation:
- Working from IP address: This shows the IP address of the computer you are currently working on. It is an IP address which is a good candidate to put on the list of local IP addresses.
- IP0: Here you can add an IP address or an IP range which will be excluded from the remote list and added to the local list. Examples:
12.13.14.15 (an individual IP address. It's a fictional example, you have to replace it with a
valid IP address)
192.168.11 (all 256 addresses under 192.168.11 Also a fictional example).
- Cancel: To cancel your work and return to the previous screen.
