How to use this report
Most simply, this report can be used as a count of total number of wireless sessions at your library.
To determine the total session count:
- Scroll to the bottom of the spreadsheet
- Look at the number of lines with data
- Subtract 2 from that total (for the 2 header lines)
- The resulting number is the total wireless sessions for your library
