Knowledge Base article views

Question

What counts as an Article view in the analytics?

From: Knowledge Base - Reports - Requests deflected - "Article views from portal"

or From: Confluence - Analytics - Overview - Views

Does this include when users click on an article from the results when they type in the Summary field on their request form?

Does it include clicking on an article from the Search results from the Search Highlight field that we have set up using Refined? I will work with Refined on that, but looking to confirm what is included with JSM and Confluence analytics.

We do not provide access for our customers to view the separate Confluence Pages Space. But I'm not sure if customers may be finding the Confluence pages through an alternative route from our other portals, so again need to confirm what is or is not included.

Is there a way to tell the source of the view?

Thanks!

Hello, does anyone know if, when an employee opens the Request Form and types in the Summary field and then they open the suggested article that pops up (based on the key words in the summary field) - does this count as a view? I don't know if this counts as a page view in the Confluence Knowledge Base analytics (as I don't know if this counts as opening the page in Confluence as I don't believe it is in Confluence but maybe it counts?). Thanks for any clarification!

@Alix Lanigan If they click on the article then it counts a as view when the page loads.  they do not have to remain on the page for any given time but it does have to load.

No, I am looking to confirm what constitutes an Article view. What action defines an "Article View". What click triggers 1 "Article View" to be reported?

When typing in the request form summary field, and a customer clicks on an article, does that count as an Article View? Is there other criteria, such as the article must be open for 3 seconds?
