Content Actions

You can access additional Viewtracker reports within the Content & Usage Report.

To do so, click on any page name in the “Content Name” column. This action will open an overlay displaying the Content Report for that specific page.

• Breadcrumbs will guide you to either the Space Report (where the page resides) or the Global Report.

• The entry on the right side of the breadcrumb shows the page or blog post name. Clicking the name will open the page in a new tab, allowing you to view its content directly.

The date range and metric grouping selected in one report will automatically be adapted to the other reports.

Saving and sharing reports

Once you’ve applied a filter or changed the report's date range, the report’s URL will adapt with parameters like:

• You can save the URL to access a customized report quickly.
