Monitoring website usage
In Trimble Web Products, administrative procedures enable you to manage and monitor how users access and use the site.
Everyone who logs into Trimble Web Products for the first time must agree to the website’s terms and conditions of use. If your company changes the terms and conditions and you upload a new terms and conditions document, each user must accept the new terms and conditions the next time they log in. Usage reports will help you monitor which Trimble Web Products site pages are being visited and any unauthorized access.
Tracking the Terms and Conditions of Use

If a company changes the terms and conditions document, each user is automatically required to accept the new terms and conditions the next time they log in.
An administrator can, at will, reset any user to accept again the terms and conditions. This option can be useful when an individual is suspected of violating the terms and conditions of use.
