Portal Item Number of Views (numviews)

Question

The numViews property in the Sharing API returns the number of item views since item creation.

Example:

request: https://...../portal/sharing/rest/content/items/1e02627438d4450c9ba28cab07e620cb?f=pjson

response:

"numViews": 6

Is there a way to get the number of views for say the last 3 months?

Regards,

Marcel

I'm not sure if this will help you, but if you need to reset/baseline your views back to zero in order to implement some kind of temporal tracking aspect, I posted some steps of how to modify numViews via ArcGIS Portal's backend PostgresSQL database here - good luck!

I'm trying to find a way to do the same thing.

I'm using the notebook from here: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/administration/managing-arcgis-online-content-with-arcgis-dashboards-and-arcgis-notebooks/

I've also found this: https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/how-to-identify-the-usage-of-items-in-arcgis-online-usi-000021762

I'm gonna try combine the two. I'm just hacking away though so would appreciate anyone's ideas.

No, numViews is not tied to any specific timeframe.  This is a simple theory, but perhaps you could try some kind of script/attribute rule to copy numViews to a new field every day and add a date/time field.
