Description
As part of a forensic analysis, it might be necessary to gather data and generate reports for specific users.

This article shows how a user filter can be applied to a report in order to show detailed activity for a specific user.

The article use as its example the "Bandwidth and Application Report".  Screen shots are taken from FortiAnalyzer 6.4.0.
