Configuring and Reviewing Reports
In addition to controlling how your child can use your PCs, you can also review details on what your child is doing on your PCs. You can view report data on the Microsoft Family website. You also can configure Microsoft Family to send you a weekly report on your child’s activities in an email message.
Enabling Activity Reporting and Weekly Reports
To see your child’s activities on the Microsoft Family website, you will need to make sure that Activity Reporting is enabled. (Activity Reporting is enabled by default, so these steps apply only if you’ve previously disabled it.) Once you enable Activity Reporting, you can also enable a weekly email report of the child’s activities.
From the Microsoft Family website, tap or click the child you want to configure.
- From the Recent Activity page, tap or click to set Activity Reporting to On.
If you want to receive a weekly email report of your child’s activities, tap or click Email Weekly Reports to Me to set it to On.
