Does viewing a page count as "activity?"

Question

I am trying to set up an automation rule in Confluence that is based on a certain period of "inactivity" on a page.  Does simply viewing the page count as activity, and negate the rule?  Also, if someone has a tab open to that page, but is not actually looking at it, does that count as viewing / activity as well?

The one rule was set to run on the three spaces at the same time.

My rule was supposed to change a page's status from Verified to Needs Review IF the page was "Inactive" for a certain period of time.  Then it was going to send an email notification to the page owner that their status had changed and that page needs to be reviewed.

On two of the spaces i was testing, the rule did not work.  On another space i was testing the rule worked, and i am trying to figure out why the rule worked on one space and not on the other two.

HI @Hank Church ,

I know that the viewing page is tracked in insights. However, I don't recall viewing as part of an automation rules set. Rules are usually around keeping the content up to date and lifecycle of documentation
