Report generation
The loading time can vary depending on the defined date range and the number of tracked data on the Confluence instance.
The report data is collected in the background while you see a loading screen. If you don’t want to wait, you can leave this page and return to it later.
Once Viewtracker has collected and sorted the data, it will display the following report.
Tap the “Change Filters” button to define a new date range, set other filters, or change the sort order. You will be directed back to the report creation form.
Hint when using the Content & Usage Report repetitively
There is a limit of reports that can be created simultaneously. This is to avoid negatively impacting performance on Confluence instances with a lot of tracked data.
If you see the message that the maximum number has been reached, just try again later.
