Primo VE: Usage Statistics
Once you are on the NDE, Mixpanel will be how you get Primo usage data. Your old data will still be available via Primo Analytics (OBI).
Primo Analytics (OBI)
The Example Dashboard
- In Alma, Choose Analytics from the menu on the left
- Choose Access Analytics (Primo)
- The folder path in the Catalog is Shared Folders/Primo/Usage/Dashboards/Example Dashboard
- Choose Open
That Example Dashboard has several tabs you can choose from:
Actions | Devices | Facets | Sessions | Popular Searches | Zero Results Searches
Additional information can be found through the Ex Libris Primo VE Analytics Training as well.
