摘要

[0069] Graphic user interfaces for a web analytic system include new modules for automatic generation of calendar notes, targets and alarms. The calendar module is a program for generation of user interfaces, maintenance of a calendar and display settings for same, hi particular, the calendar module 208 allows calendar notes or flags to be added to data provided by the web analytics tool 210. These calendar notes or flags are displayed across all reports output by the web analytics tool 210. The calendar notes or events are particularly advantageous because they are: 1) user specific, but may be shared with others as set by the user, 2) allow the user to remember important dates or events automatically, 3) allow easy and direct comparison of pre/post event data, and the 4) the events can be a period of time in addition to a point in time. The functionality provided by the calendar module 208 will be fully described below in the calendar notes section and in conjunction with the description of Figures 4-7D.
