  5. Use the device filter in the content pane to search for specific devices where selected user has activity. The Devices with activity filter is applied by default. The filter pane displays the list of data sources that have some shares, site collections, or equivalent on which the selected user has activity.

    Or, click the drop-down to select a specific type of storage device, disabled filers or web applications, or devices.

    At the share-level in the hierarchy, you can also filter the paths using other predefined filters, such as disabled shares or site collections where the user has activity.

  7. Enter the start and end dates in the From and To field.
  8. Select the share for which you want to view the user's activity, and click Go.

    The number of Read, Write, Other, and the total number of activities by the selected user, on the selected share, during the specified time period appears. The page also displays a graphical representation of the activity counts during each month in the specified time range.

    • The folders accessed by the selected user during a specified time period.

    • The number of Read, Write, Other, and the total number of accesses by the user on these folders during a specified time period.

  10. Enter the start and end dates in the From and To field, and click Go.
