Reports

 

ResourceSpace tracks information about downloads, uploads, and views, and the reports area allows you to gain access to this information.

While the Analytics section produces graphs and charts of high level summaries, the reporting section is more orientated towards a detailed table structure.

You can download copies of both styles of presentation. Reports are available as a CSV file for spreadsheet software or can be viewed directly in your browser.

Standard reports

  • Database statistics - Returns core statistics on the current system usage. Includes a total count for resources, keywords, keyword relationships, collections, collection relationships, and users.
  • Expired resources - Shows all resources where the expiry date has elapsed. Displays resource ID, title, and expiry date.
  • File integrity check - Returns a report to show the oldest and most recent resources which have been subject to the file integrity check. Useful to ensure the check is being run regularly.
  • Keywords used in resource edits - Returns a list of keywords added to resources by users, with a count of the number of times the keyword has been used.
  • Keywords used in searches - Returns a list of keywords searched by users, with a count of the number of searches.
  • Mail log - Shows all emails sent via the system. Displays email ref, date/time, email to, email from, and subject. Note that this report shows only email send attempts, delivery success may depend on your system configuration if using SMTP, or on your mail server settings.
  • Resource request detail - Returns a summary of all resource requests placed. Report includes resource ID, resource type, user, request comments, date/time, request outcome, and approving user.

  • Resource downloads by group - Shows the total number of resource downloads, broken down by user group.

  • Searches with no results - Reports on which searches users ran which didn't return any results.

The report will display these as links and users can click on them to see the current node name.
  • User details including group allocation - Returns a list of all registered users. Displays username, email address, full name, date/time created, date they last accessed the system, and their allocated user group.
