Impero - best practice setup and monitoring

[winng]

I've just updated our policies and installed the Managed Policy and applied these to all students so at least they are being monitored and captured by the system.

 

However, when it comes to actively monitoring, alerting and reporting on what is happening on a daily basis, I am looking for some practical advice and tips on how best to configure the system and who within the school could or should be the ones monitoring and deciding what action should be taken, where appropriate.

 

I believe our Heads of KS3 and KS4 should have console access and be responsible for monitoring but, assuming this would be okay, how do I make it easy for them to use the system?

 

Thanks

Depends how your school works really, with desktops I would group by computer, with laptops by class AD groups.

 

Does your school want the teachers to be using it during their class? Locking screens when they want everyone to stop using the computers, sending files/urls to people, collecting back files, generally checking everyone's working.

 

Then you have access to the logs for leaders, so they can generate reports to see patterns, or find individual people with problems. Depends how your reporting system works, do individual teachers report issues directly, do they need logs, or do they talk to their leader?

Hi @mavhc

 

Yes, we have the groups setup by computer rooms, laptop trolleys, etc. and also by student year groups, etc. The major policies are set against the students and the temporary blocks/allows for youtube, etc. are controlled at computer room level.

 

So far so good.

 

However, when I watch what's going on I can see captures taking place and also see this replicated in the Captures section.

 

I can run various reports to extract top sites, top users/offenders, etc. but there is an awful lot to trawl through.

 

How can I set up a leader to be able to see a snapshot of a days activities with ease, i.e. severe captures?

In Logging>Report you can do a report for All Severe Escalated Captures for a group for a time period, and you can schedule reports

How did they get 'escalated'? Did someone have to mark them as such?
