What statistics are in the User Activity, Monthly Overview report?

[Dale John M.]

Under "Admin Tools" in the left navigation you will see "User Activity". If you click this link you will find links to the reports that show user activity. One of these options is "Monthly Overview".

These are the fields captured in the Monthly Overview report:

• Visits, Pages (pages_visited) is the number of pages this person visited anywhere in the community site.
• Visits, Days (days_visited) is the number of days this person visited the community this month.
• Messages, In (messages_sent) is the number of unique emails this person sent from their email program or web interface.
• Messages, Out (messages_received) is the number of messages this person received from staff or other members.
• Messages, Viewed (messages_viewed) is the number of individual email messages viewed in the email archive on the web site.
• Profile, Total (profile_visits) is how many times that person visited any profile page, either their own or another member's.
• Profile, Unique (profiles_visited) is how many member's profiles this person visited at least once. If "Profile, Total" is 31 and "Profile, Unique" is 17 for example, it means that the person visited 16 other member's profiles (17 - 1 for their own profile) at least once, and then 14 additional page views either on their own profile or multiple times on another member's profile.
• Group, Total (group_visits) is how many group pages were viewed.
• Group, Unique (groups_visited) is the number of different groups were visited.
• Library, Total (library_visits) is how many library pages were viewed.
• Library, Unique (libraries_visited) is the number of different libraries were visited.
• Forums, Total (forum_visits) is how many forum pages were viewed.
• Forums, Unique (forums_visited) is how many different forums were visited.

The "Export to CSV file" link allows you to download a file with the statistics above (one line per person with all of the above information for that person) plus the following fields:

• user_first_name
• user_middle_name
• user_last_name
• local_entity_id
• link_to_profile

Hi Dale,
What does the "engaged users" column represent?
Thanks,
Thereaa

[Laura R.]

Hi Theresa,

Engaged users are users that have been active in the community during the period that you are looking at.

[Pam S.]

From what I understand, "engaged users" includes members who have received emails from the member community but may not actually have logged in for that time perioed. Is this right?

[Dale John M.]

That is correct Pam. The "engaged users" column also includes people who have received an email from any group. You can look at the report for each month to find who has visited the website using these values:

• Visits, Pages (pages_visited) is the number of pages this person visited anywhere in the community site.
• Visits, Days (days_visited) is the number of days this person visited the community this month.

If you need to find out how many people have visited the website in a particular month (or visited any particular area), you can "Export to CSV" file on the "Monthly Overview" page and see how many visited the website in the export file.

Is there a way to find out how many new users have logged/accessed website?

Also if I want to find out how many total active participants (unique participants) I have on the website, how can I find out? For now, I have taken all my monthly stats from the CSV file and combined all the iMIS ID's and GL ID's and did a pivot table to find out unique users to the website. Is there a better way to find out this information?


Is there a possiblity to add Month/Year in the actual export files (not only in the file name)?

Is there any way to currently access other actions besides Views? So, not only "Viewed the Library" but if you Added to the Library? Or not just viewed a profile, but updated it?

If there is no way currently, is there any plan to track this in the future?
