Some quick Tips on capturing Recording Usage Reports

OBJECTIVE:

This article is intended to describe some quick methods of how to derive some usage reports of recorded meetings.

Environment:

Adobe Connect Hosted
Adobe Connect On-Premise

Steps 

1) One of the first options that could be utilized is using the ‘Downloadable reports’ available for Administrators :

1. Goto  Administration >> Account >> Reports >> Downloadable reports
2. Click  Assets >> Download
3. Filter for Archives under Icon.

2) Secondly there could be some XML APIs which could be utilized for extracting some data :

• We can use the report-bulk-objects API

https://example.com/api/xml?action=report-bulk-objects&filter-type=archive

Usage and method is also described in detail on this Helpx article : https://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-connect/webservices/report-bulk-objects.html

• We can also use another API sco-expanded-contents with filter ‘archive’

https://{URL}/api/xml?action=sco-expanded-contents&sco-id={xxxxxx}&filter-icon=archive

Where sco-id = the ACCOUNT-ID

Filter-icon=archive.

This should return all archives + their duration.

3) Recordings can also be moved to Content Library area for tracking the time duration of participants while watching the recording as shared in below example.

1. Move a recording from under a meeting/seminar to the Content library area
2. Goto the Content information >> Reports >> By Users
3. It shows the Time In, Time out and Total Time Viewed for all participants who have watched it
