Activating Presentation Usage Tracking

Presentation usage tracking needs to be activated in the server alias of the Alfabet Web Application:

  1. Expand the Alfabet Aliases node in the Administrator explorer. The right pane displays a list of all available alias configurations.
  2. In the table, select the alias configuration that you want to edit and click the Edit  Edit button. You will see the editor in which you can edit the alias configuration.
  3. Go to the Server Settings > Tracking tab and edit the following attributes:
    • Track Presentation Usage: Select Local Database to activate presentation usage tracking. By default, this attribute is set to Deactivated and no presentation usage tracking is performed. The Alfabet REST Service mode is currently not supported.
    •  Track User ID: If presentation usage tracking is activated and this checkbox is selected, the REFSTR of the user will be tracked in addition to the session ID of the current user session and sub-session. If the checkbox is not selected, only the session ID and sub-session ID of the current user session will be saved in the tracking records. This information is sufficient to evaluate which views have been accessed by a user during the same session without adding actual user information to the tracking information. Check legal compliance of tracking user information prior to selecting the Track User ID checkbox.
    •  Archive/Restore Presentation Usage Tracking: If you select the checkbox, the presentation tracking information will be included in Alfabet Database Archive files (ADBZ files) and restored in target databases when restore is performed from an ADBZ file. The presentation usage tracking feature and this attribute must be activated on both the alias used for archiving the database and the alias for restoring the database to include the information.
  4. Click OK to save your changes.
