Number of times a sheet has been viewed / View count

KrisWalsh

Is there a way to collect or measure the number of times a sheet has been viewed? 

 

A continuously updating "Total Number of Views" for Sheet X.

 

The data is in the system: "User Sheet Access Report"

It's just impractical to download this for every shared user.

I was asked about that yesterday by a user.  I've not seen even as a Sys Admin access to that type of data.

It would be useful at times.

Hi Kris-- This is something that our team is currently looking into as part of an ongoing Sheet Information/History project. Thanks for this feedback, it's helpful to get an idea of what features users would be looking for in this kind of function!

KrisWalsh

Thank you, Kennedy.  Here's some more input.

 

Feature Request: I would like the ability to see how many times a sheet has been viewed:

1.    By users shared to the sheet

2.    By anonymous views of published sheets

3.    By combined shared and anonymous views

4.    Can be displayed in a Sight (like view counts on a webpage)

     a.    For a sheet (link to sheet with view count next to it)

     b.  For the Sight you are on right now. (Widget for View Count)

 

5.    Can be accessed through the API

Thanks for this additional information, Kris! I'll pass it on to the PM on this project. I can't guarantee that these features will be available in the first iteration, but this information will help us prioritize for future releases

Please add my vote for Kris' feature request.
