More Batch Tracing informatiom (Advanced Edition)
The image to the right indicates some of the options and functionallity of the batch tracing feature.

Trace options

The trace from a list option allows the user to enter as many IP addresses or domain names as they want. This saves time and energy when tasked with tasks like location verification. Entering and tracing and IP or domain name one at a time can be time consuming, batch tracing makes this task much easier.

The trace from a file option is more suited for log analysis where a 3rd party program has been outputting IP addresses or domain names to a text file and the user is tasked with finding out the location or network/domain contact for each one. Trace from a file makes this task effortless by allowing the user to point VisualIPTrace to the text file to perform the trace (text file format should be one IP address/domain per line).

Output Options

The two basic output options are run each trace in a new tab and run each trace in the 'My Traces' tab.

The My Traces tab is where VisualIPTrace keeps a list of previous traces. The batch tracing feature can use this mechanism to perform the traces to avoid opening lots of tabs.

The most useful output option is the Output to a Excel (CSV)/HTML file. This allows the user to pick and choose the data they want to output and, once outputted, makes it much easier for the data to be shared and anaylzed further.
