Extracting Portal usage statistics

Promoted from User Forums

Dear XUG members
Are there any standard tools &/or methods for extracting usage stats from Portal? Does anyone have any experience of extracting this kind of usage information?

Obviously, the detailed histories available for each individual asset indicate that usage information is saved somewhere in the Venture MySQL database, but so far we have not found any tools for extracting the information.

Thanks,

You might want to ask your integrator if they offer anything with those features.

We have a reporting tool that does just that, gathers all relevant info and displays it in our module as well as exporting to a CSV file. Let me know if you need more info.

It sounds like I did something very similar for a former employer. Our client wanted to run reports on some of it's assets with information such as file name, meta data values, file location and upload date. I was able to build a MySQL query that did the trick. I would imagine tying usage data to that would not be difficult but I never looked into it as there was not a need at the time.

Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me.
