I have a news channel and that news channel has folders in it and I need to get access stats on the docs in those folders. I only want to have to supply the news channels dataid to achieve this.Can anyone show me some techniques that may work?-Jason

Unfortunately there is not an audit event for BROWSE, so you cannot get stats in the same way that you can for FETCH or VIEW. If you need those stats, then you can do one of the following.1) Analyse the information in the web servers logs and map the object IDs from the URLs back to the folders. This is too much trouble and I wouldn't recommend it.2) Write and OSCRIPT customization that adds BROWSE as an audit event (we did this for one site).3) Add a customview.html page to each folder. When you BROWSE the folder it will execute a corresponding FETCH on the customview.html document. You can then look for the parent of the customview to determine how many times it was accessed. This is the easiest method although there is a performance hit (the FETCH of the customview page) and the SQL to analyze the DAUDIT table will be complicated.

I've been searching (now deseperately) for a way to get statistics on how a group uses the system and mainly his own workspace (a folder or a project). Isn't it any (fresher) good way to get such statistics and info ? It's a common and obvious need after all..."You can then look for the parent of the customview to determine how many times it was accessed"I'm already using the customview (or banner header) trick just to guess quickly how active is a folder. Now I really need to provide concrete statistics to my bosses and also to the users groups :-/ Can a livereport focusing on such item and group can help ? If yes, which ??? Thanks for all help. ---------------------------------------------------Post a Reply to: Folder Visit Stats Posted by John Shoun (NortelNC Admin) Unfortunately there is not an audit event for BROWSE, so you cannot get stats in the same way that you can for FETCH or VIEW.

I suggest use the banner trick and create a custom report with a Live report or if you need more magic do a Livelink module that creates the report 1-3 days for a skilled Livelink programmer with a good spec.Without having a good description what you want it looks like you also need to define what folder is her/his/groups own folder.RegardsMagnus@ids.se
