Displaying overlay analytics reports | HCL Digital Experience
You can use Active Site Analytics to show graphical statistics reports about individual portal resources, such as pages or portlets. These reports are called Active Site Analytics overlay reports.
About this task
The statistics graph is shown on the portal page in the
format of an overlay over the portal resource to which they apply,
such as the portlet. Examples of what statistical graphs can show:
- A simple view count of a portal page, that is how many users visited and viewed the page on a particular day.
- A statistical curve of the usage for a specific portlet over time.
The statistics are generated as follows:
- The data collected by the portal site analytics are collected and forwarded to your business partners for portal analytics.
- Your business partner analyzes and evaluates the portal data and sends back a report to your portal.
- The portal then displays the report as the overlay graph.
The user must at least be in the USER role
on the virtual resource OVERLAYREPORTS and
at least in the USER role of the resource he
wants to view reports for.
Note: You can enable overlay statistics
only if you already use Active Site Analytics on
your portal site.
To set up Active Site Analytics overlay reports, perform the procedures given here.
Procedure
- Enable data collection. For example, you can do this by
adding an Active Site Analytics aggregator to a portal page:
As a result of these steps, analytics data is sent from browsers of your portal users to the Coremetrics® data collection servers. You can log on to Coremetrics® and analyze the portal usage.
- Enable inline display of Coremetrics® reports by enabling
overlay reports:
- Optional: To further customize the tagging of your site, assign site promotions to pages and portlets as required.
