With the Spector 360 Dashboard you can perform an investigation of any employee suspected of inappropriate or unethical behavior with the User Explorer Tool. This tool is also perfect for performing spot investigations of anyone in your company.

The User Explorer empowers you to inspect the PC and Internet event data tied to an individual employee, one employee at a time:

User Explorer – a Spector 360 “Investigation” Tool
The User Explorer Tool (contained within the Dashboard) is ideal for conducting investigations by displaying the event data associated with individual employees. An "Explorer" style window lets you navigate within the recorded events of any employee. You can export your findings for use in other Windows applications or print the information displayed on the screen.

The User Explorer Tool empowers you to navigate events at a high level and then load those events of interest so you can “drill down” and view the associated details. Both a summary and detail view is provided. At any time you can view the actual screen images associated with those events using Spector 360’s Screen Snapshot Viewer with its “VCR-like” controls. Documenting infractions for corrective action is a simple process and can be performed with the click of a mouse.

With the User Explorer Tool you can focus on specific elements pertaining to each activity to narrow your investigation. Refer to the Event Criteria Checklist for the complete list of focus options for the User Explorer.

The following activities can be analysed on an individual basis with the User Explorer Tool:
