Defining the Type of Report

Prerequisites

You have created a portal activity report iView. See Creating a Portal Activity Report iView .

Context

The Portal Activity Report Editor enables you to specify the information to include in your report. You can create the following types of reports:

Report

Description

Number of users who logged on

Shows the number of unique users who logged on to the portal during the reporting period, broken down by authenticated and anonymous users.

A user is only considered logged on if the user eventually navigates to an iView or page whose Monitor Hits property is set to true , as described in Configuring Pages/iViews for Data Collection .

Details about the users who logged on

Shows details about the users who logged on to the portal.

The report shows the following:

  • The ID of the user

  • The time of the user's first logon

  • Whether the user was an authenticated or anonymous user

  • The number of hits for this user (that is, the number of iViews and pages visited)

Page/iView activity

Shows the number of times users requested each page/iView.

The report provides information on only those pages/iViews for which data was collected (see Configuring Pages/iViews for Data Collection ) and that were selected for the current report (that is, added to the Selected Content table).

For each page/iView, the report shows:

  • The name of the page/iView

  • The number of unique users who visited the page/iView

  • The total number of times the page/iView was visited

  • For pages, a list of the unique users who visited the page

    This information is only provided if the page's Monitor Users property is set to true (see Configuring Pages/iViews for Data Collection ).
