Creating a Session Statistics Report

You can check the statistics of your Information Portal system to determine which types of indexes, broadcast searches, and user services are used frequently and which are used less often or not at all. This information can help you tailor Information Portal to your users’ needs.

For example, you can check how many times users access the different types of indexes. If the broadcast and cross-index search types are rarely used, you can offer a workshop on how these types of indexes can help users find items in your library.

The Session Statistics report contains this information:

How often a certain type of index was used (keyword, browse,
cross-index, and broadcast).
How many users logged in to their user accounts.
How often users performed specific actions (renewals, hold requests, and user information updates).
How many broadcast searches were conducted.
