What counts as a "view"?

Hi @ebarrett think it just counts the number of hits from the channel page.

Curious what would be a passive event that wouldn’t involve the assets url being loaded?

@Bfarkas I probably could have explained this better…

We have the Activity Feed widget on the home page so people can see when new assets get uploaded. I am wondering what kind of engagement needs to take place for an asset shown in the feed to be counted as having been viewed.

@lrnlab this is what I would think, too --- but the way we’re using channels is more as where assets get stored. The activity feed widget is mostly how people would be aware of assets being available, and our learners are rarely going to a channel itself.

I’d assume the user selecting the asset to view it from that widget should still count as a view.

How about just scrolling the asset from the feed, like this:

Hmm I’d suspect not. Seems like a thing to test though, just make something only you have access to and a page with a widget only you see, go look at widget and see if it records a view?

How about just scrolling the asset from the feed, like this:

 

We added assets to the activity feed on the homepage too, and scrolling past it does count as a view. Because of this, when users go to the actual channel, every asset has a “watched” label on it. Docebo says that is expected behavior (not a bug) and they can’t reset our view counts.
