Analytics visible from the Console

aa-10

Page analytics data is displayed in List View of the Sites console. When the pages are displayed in list format, the following columns are available by default:

  • Page Views
  • Unique Visitors
  • Time on Page

Each column shows a value for the current reporting period, and also indicates whether the value has increased or decreased since the previous reporting period. The data that you see is updated every 12 hours.

NOTE
To change the update period, configure the import interval.

  1. Open the Sites console; for example http://localhost:4502/sites.html/content

  2. In the far right of the toolbar, (upper right corner), click or tap the icon to select List View (the icon shown will depend on the current view).

  3. Again, in the far right of the toolbar, (upper right corner), click or tap the icon then select View Settings. The Configure Columns dialog will open. Make any changes required and confirm with Update.
