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.

  • 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.
