List all content in your Confluence instance and how much it is used in a specified date range.

Accessing the Content & Usage Report: Content

Go to

Apps → Viewtracker - Global Report → Content & Usage → Content or
⚙ → Viewtracker → Content & Usage → Content

Access the report on a space level by viewing a specific space and selecting Space Report → Content & Usage → Content :

Content & Usage Report: Content

By default, the table is sorted by Views descending (most views to 0). You can sort the table by all other entries by clicking on the respective table header.

The content names are linked to the respective content (page/blog post/attachment). When clicked, the Content Report of that page opens in a new browser tab.

Scope of data

Whenever the word “content” is used, it refers to pages, blog posts and attachments.
Pages, blog posts and attachments in spaces that have been excluded from tracking are not listed in this report.
By default, this report only lists content with at least one view or edit since the Viewtracker installation. With a content synchronization, an administrator can include content that has never been viewed or edited since the Viewtracker installation.
It can take up to 1 minute before recent views are displayed in the report.

Filters

You can filter the report by

searching for a string in the search field (applies to page & blog post titles and attachment names)
selecting one of the powerful filters. These will be explained in detail below. Remember that any filters you select apply to the selected date range.
