WebTrends Report Units

[One Skunk Todd]

I have WebTrends Analysis Suite 7.0c and I'm having problems getting reports to graph stats by month instead of equal 4 week periods. I have tried using a variety of report ranges, and I've tried setting up my own ranges. No matter what, anytime the logfiles break across a calendar year the report defaults to equal 4 week periods.

Is there any way to force webtrends to use months as the graph unit? All my logfiles are monthly and I'm really under the gun to produce some fiscal year reports for the past several years. Obviously I've tried using the Fiscal Year report range but that does not give me what I need.

Ex. - I have logs for 10/01 through 09/02. If I use "All of Log" range I get graphs in equal 4 week periods. If I set the range manually I get equal 4 weeks. If I use the Fiscal Year range I get graphs showing empty columns from 10/99 - 12/01 and nothing else.

I don't use Suite any more but I think the ini and rpl files could be opened and adjusted for this. Look for english.rpl (or whatever language), report.ini, and analysis.rpx, and within them look for the word "scale". There may be other filenames as well that have "scale" in them. Needless to say, any changes should be backed up, and be sure to get all copies of these files - there can be more than one and the changes have to be in all of them. If you figure it out from this and can fill in the rest of the process, please come back and post details.

Hmmm...

In the report.ini files I see lines like this:

Scale12="<Common4WeekScale>", 28, 86400, "%m/%d", "%a %D"
Scale13="<Common1MonthScale>", 31, 86400, "%m/%d", "%a %D"

In the english.rpl files I see:

<Common4WeekScale> = {4 Week Scale}
<Common1MonthScale> = {1 Month Scale}

These are all under "Interval" headings.

I don't see an Analysis.rpx file. Not sure what I should do with this.

Maybe if I change the 28 to 31 in Scale 12 and change the bracket text to "1 Month Scale"?
