segment drop-down box to see the keywords. The problem is that there
seems to be a bug here, cause the numbers don't add up. I've seen that

Yes indeed, we can help.

Sounds like you need to use translation files; I'm guessing the
version of WebTrends you have is the software release as the current

you need to create a Custom Report datasource.

This can be found: ADMINISTRATION CONSOLE --> REPORT CONFIGURATION --

You will need to do 2 things and check 1 thing to get these reports
working.

ID's in Web Trends. When we check the reports, we cna see the
statistics for these campaigns with the campagin ID. Is there any way

Re: Does WebTrends User Interface support x64 bit Operating Systems?

iain.ad.mur...@googlemail.com (Iain Murphy) — Tue, 02 Feb 2008 16:07:46 UT

Webtrends is supported on 64-bit systems. However the User Interface

interface as it will not function on you're current server. This can
be handled using a distributed environment where the analysis and
