Are Page Traffic Reports a Possibility?

Anna Zdeblick · 08/22/23

Hi Community!

Curious if anyone's had experience with monitoring page traffic (i.e. Users, frequency). We're standing up a new solution and would like to track adoption rates during our rollout period.....

I know the "VIEWS" are visible in the Activity Log of each object, but wonder if there's a way to query or easily summarize that data for success metrics.

Thanks!

Nothing built into the core product, but you may be able to grab it from an API.

Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

A premium add-on, Event Reporting, can provide you with much more information.

More info:

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

@Andrée Starå Doesn't that use the API? And I didn't see anything in the documentation about tracking views.

Yes, but it's not accessible without the add-on. I don't know what information is available, but you might be right that views are not part of it.

@Anna Zdeblick Let me know if you need pricing and details about what's possible.

I dug through both the Event Reporting documentation as well as the API documentation and didn't find anything that would allow a user to access views or even the activity log of the sheet to try to strip out the views.

It might still be possible. I have a faint memory that I've seen it a couple of years ago so It might be worth checking to be sure.

@Andrée Starå My problem is that I can read, but I am still learning how to write. So I can read documentation or a set of code and figure out what's going on, but troubleshooting or thinking outside of the box when it comes to APIs is still a little out of my wheelhouse (for now).

Yes, same here. That's one of my goals! Learn the Smartsheet API (when I have time and am not busy developing client solutions so, around 2030). 😉

Paul Newcome · 08/23/23

Yeah. Time is definitely not a friend. I've been slowly learning Python and C#, but the program I am using says my projected completion for the rate I've been able to get in and take the courses is in 8 years and 3 months. 😅

And apparently I have been learning something along the lines of C++ as I mess around with Arduino boards. Haha. Maybe I should just do one at a time... 🤔
