There are several tools that can be used to gather data from your community: CC analytics tool, Google Analytics, Omniture, Coosto, Tracebuzz, Buzzcapture, and many more.


These tools can also be used to compare your community data to your other social channels and website. This document focuses on the process of how to create a report based on the CC analytics tooling and gives a brief description of data that can be derived from Google Analytics. If you work with other tooling, please consult your Community Consultant.

 

 

CC analytics tool


The CC analytics tool can be found in your control environment in the navigation on the left side of the page (see figure 2). On the export page you’ll find a variety of downloadable exports. It is possible to get reports of the activity by exporting report files of a specific timeframe. There are 8 different exports:

 

 

 

  • Post
  • Topic
  • Private messages
  • User
  • Moderator action
  • Login
  • Mark as answer

What I would expect from the user report is ALL activity during a date range, regardless of registration date. Is there a way to do that, or does it have to be an *all time* export in order to get that info?

@Milla not yet, but category will be in the Topic or Posts export and you can filter from there. URL is in the topic export as well. 

If you want a more on demand report that is filterable, you could set up something using the REST API and filter the data to show you what you need, although I don’t know that it’ll give you view counts :( 

 

 

Thank you for your response @DannyPancratz 

What I need is the URLs of all published content by category, so we’ll look at this route.

 

Thanks!
