  2. Peak Connections - The highest number of concurrent views for the presentation.
  3. Live - The number of times the presentation was watched live.
    UX Tip

    Live viewing is only available upon request for recordings made via the Hardware Recorders.

  4. On Demand - The number of times the recorded presentation was watched.
  5. Date of First View - Shows date the presentation was first viewed.
  6. Date of Last View - Shows date the presentation was last viewed.
  7. Total Time Watched - The total amount of time (h:mm:ss) user spent watching the presentation.
  8. Average Time Watched - The average amount of time (h:mm:ss) users spent watching.

Trends

Trends show an intensity graph that highlights which parts of presentations were viewed most. Views less than 60 seconds in duration are not displayed in the graph and grid.

Warm colors indicate a dense number of watches while cooler colors represent less density, indicating that viewers tended to stop watching.

  2. IP Address - IP address of the computer used to view the presentation.

  3. Views - Number of views by each user.
  4. Time Watched - Time the user spent watching.
  5. Coverage - The amount of presentation watched by the user. Example: A user opens a presentation and watches the first 30 minutes of a presentation, pauses the video, seeks back to the start and watches for 40 minutes. The coverage for this user is 40 minutes. i.e. the user spent a total of 70 minutes watching the presentation (total time watched), but in that time the user only covered the first 40 minutes of the presentation.

Platforms

Platforms show graphical data showing the top web browsers and operating systems used to view the presentation.
