Viewtracker Macro

This macro was used to track and display views on Confluence Pages. We recommend using the new Analytics report macros instead.

Tracking is now implemented by default and this macro might no longer be needed.
Please note it generates a view when the page is refreshed. It may cause duplicate views on newer instances.

Track and gain valuable insight into who is visiting your Confluence pages. The Viewtracker macro provides more information than just counting page hits. It provides important user behavior details: Who has viewed the current Confluence page, and how often has the page been visited? The info is displayed in a collapsed version that can be opened by clicking on the arrow sign.

Note: Use the Viewtracker macro to track page views per user if Auto Tracking is disabled. This macro generates a "view" every time the Confluence page is loaded.

Use the built-in “Content Report” to gain insights on the current page. Or use the Viewtracker Report macro to gain insights on another page.
