Overview of the report

This report gives users the ability to reports against content items that have been accessed; focused on unique visitors, i.e. ignoring multiple visits to the page in the same session.

This report is similar to the Content access audit, but focuses on visits from unique visitors over a session; multiple visits to the same page are ignored during that session.

The report includes visits to archived content. If you attempt to access archived content from this report, a 'Content no longer available' message is displayed.

Running the report

Navigate to System administration > Audits and reporting > Content view audit to display the Content view audit screen:

Within the Content view audit screen, you have access to the following fields:

Select product - select all modules, or a single module from your site
Performed between - This field allows you to specify the date range of the action you want to investigate
Show advanced filters - It is possible to filter this report by Module, Organisation or Group or User

This report required enhanced abilities to identify unique external visits; as such reports cannot be generated for dates before the date your instance was updated to 5.7.30 (from 16th February 2024).

The difference between the selected start and end dates cannot exceed one year.

Filter results

You can add additional filters to the audit report to eliminate unneeded results. Click Show advanced filters to see additional filters.

Filter by organisation or group

Under Filter by organisation or group, type the name of an organisation or group to restrict results to that group, or click Bulk add to select multiple groups.

Exclude by administrator

Select Exclude by administrator to remove system administrators, channel administrators, approvers, module administrators and/or editors from the reports.

Select one or more administrator types to provide accurate statistics of publication views, without statistics from content administrators.

Please note that the exclude filters have a higher priority than the Filter by Organisation/Group and Users, in order to ensure that these filters are executed.

Exclude by groups

To use this filter, click Exclude by groups:

Please note that the exclude filters will have a higher priority than the Filter by Organisation/Group and Users, in order to ensure that these filters are executed.

Additionally, please note that when the filter includes organisations or groups, then they are excluded from the exclusion organisation / groups section and vice versa, and as system administrators are also editors/approvers/module admins etc., when each of those are selected, they are excluded from that report.
