Normally, “All Computers” are included in Global and in General criteria selections. You can focus the data by including or excluding activity recorded at certain workstations. For example, you might include only computers in a lab or library used by various people. The activity retrieved “by computer” can reveal how resources are being used and where holes in security may exist.
