How can I access usage stats for my objects?

There are several ways, depending on what you need.

  • For a complete picture of your visitors' usage, ask the Admin Centre for a Piwik account. This will give you access to your own dashboard at https://analytics.bceln.ca, where you will be able to access all sorts of data and views on that data.
  • For views and downloads on any given object:
    • Enable the Islandora Usage Stats Reports module.
    • Under Structure -> Blocks, enable the Object Usage block and choose a region to display it.
    • When an object is viewed, it will now display a count of all views and all downloads since the object was ingested.
  • For a complete list of datastream downloads per object:
    • In the Modules menu, enable "Islandora Datastream Downloads Report". (You may need to flush the cache afterward.)
    • This creates a view (simply called "Downloads" in the Views menu) and a page at yoursite.arcabc.ca/download_stats.
    • On this page, you'll get a list of objects and a record of each download of each datastream. You can also download a CSV file of all these records, which you can manipulate in Excel to filter by date, etc.
    • Date filtering on the webpage is not working right now; this is an improvement we will work on.
