    • A chart of week-by-week usage for the year ("This Year By Week") or day-by-day usage for the current month ("This Month By Day")
    • A list of frequently accessed courses and presentations

What is a "View"?

The reports show "most viewed courses", "most viewed presentations" and other statistics. But what user action constitutes a "view"?

A view is recorded whenever a user visits a URL to view a product. If you authenticate or authorize users before allowing access to the URL, the user must be authenticated or authorized before the view is recorded.

Summary Report

To navigate to the summary report, select Reports > Summary.

The first tab, This Year By Week, plots captures and views for each week of the year on a histogram. At the bottom of the page, the Most Viewed Courses and Most Viewed Presentations are ranked according to the most frequently accessed content for the year. Percentages are figured against total views.

The second tab, This Month By Day, plots the day-by-day usage for the current month. At the bottom of the page, the Most Viewed Courses and Most Viewed Presentations are ranked according to the most frequently accessed content for the month. Percentages are figured against total views.

Detailed Reports

To navigate to the summary report, select Reports > Details Reports.

The detailed reports are created when you specify these parameters:

  • Report type:
    • Views by Presentation, showing the presentations ranked from most frequently viewed to least, and including number of hits and percentage of total viewing traffic
    • Views by Product, showing the types of recordings (that is, Podcast vs. Vodcast vs. EchoPlayer) that are being viewed, and including number of hits and percentage of total viewing traffic
    • Quota by Section, showing the storage (in MB) used by the section and the section limit
    • Views by Time of Day, showing 24 one-hour segments and the number of views within that segment, both as an aggregate number of views and as percentage of total views
    • Views by Week of Year, showing the number of views occurring within each week of the calendar year, both as an aggregate number and as a percentage of total views.
