The client providesadministrative, visualizing, and report-generating functions. From the client, the user canschedule analysis tasks to run at a specific time or time interval. Progress status is broadcastto interested clients and displayed as appropriate and necessary. Once the analysis iscompleted, users can generate reports or view the data.The system offers many predefined, ready-to-use reports. The general features include:• Detailed analysis of Web content integrity, site performance, and usage statistics• Flexible client/server architecture supporting a team environment• A database that is scalable and trending with historical data• Fully-customizing and configuring to suit end-users• Remote administration and report capabilities from the client
