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)

    Note Note

    For this report, the reporting period is not relevant. This report displays information on all users who logged in since the data collection service was started.

    End of the note.

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).

Prerequisites

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

Procedure

  1. Edit your portal activity report iView, and select the Type of Report view from the radio buttons at the top of the editor.

  2. Select one of the report types listed in the following table:

    Report

    Description

    Number of users who logged on

    For this report, you can also choose to:

    • Show information only about users who belong to a specific group.

    Details about the users who logged on

    For this report, you can also choose to:

    • Show information only about users who belong to a specific group.

    • Show only the most-active users.

    Page/iView activity

    For this report, you can also choose to:

    • Show information only about those pages/iViews that were visited more than a specified number of times or less than a specified number of times.

    • Show only the most-visited pages/iViews.

  3. For Page/iView activity reports, do the following

    • Specify in the Selected Content table the pages/iViews that you want included in the report.

      In the Portal Catalog, right-click the content to include in the report, and select Add to Selected Content List. If you select a folder, workset or role, all the pages/iViews associated with the object are added to the table.

      Note Note

      • Generally, when you select a folder, the pages/iViews in the folder are added to the Selected Content table. If you add the top-level Portal Content folder, only the folder is added to the table, and the report will include information on all pages/iViews in the Portal Catalog.

      • If the object added to the Selected Content list is not part of a role, and therefore not available to any user, no statistics are collected for it.

      End of the note.

      Caution Caution

      The more pages/iViews you select, the more data you collect and the more data your iView will have to display. This might affect the performance of your iView (that is, it may take longer to display the report).

      End of the caution.
    • In Objects to display dropdown list in the Selected Contenttable, specify whether the report includes the selected iViews, the selected pages or both. The default is both.
