iTunes U Administration Guide: Understanding Summary Data

Understanding Summary Data

In addition to your site’s disk usage and software versions, the Summary worksheet lists aggregate values for the individual worksheet user actions. The following table describes what occurs for each user action returned in the Summary sheet:

This user action	Occurs when this action occurs
Browse	A user views a page in your iTunes U site. It’s analogous to browsing a page in a web browser.
DownloadPreview/DownloadRedirectedPreview	A user double-clicks a track in a Course page to preview a file instead of downloading it.
DownloadTrack/DownloadRedirectedTrack	A user clicks the Get, Get Song, or Get Movie button in iTunes U to download a track.
DownloadTracks/DownloadRedirectedTracks	A user clicks the Get Track(s) button to download all tracks in a Course page group. This action appears multiple times in the report; once for each track the user downloads.
EditFiles	A user clicks the Upload And Manage Files link.
EditPage	A user with Edit access clicks Edit Page or Edit Access in an iTunes U page.
Logout	A user clicks the Logout link.
SearchResultsPage	A user types text in the Search field at the top right of the iTunes window to search your iTunes U site.
Subscription	A user clicks the Subscribe button to subscribe to the group’s podcast.
SubscriptionEnclosure/SubscriptionRedirectedEnclosure	The podcast reader downloads a new episode in the podcast. If the podcast reader detects new content in the podcast, it downloads the content.
SubscriptionFeed	The podcast reader automatically checks for new content in the podcast. Podcast readers automatically check for new content at regular intervals.
Upload	A user clicks the Upload And Manage Files link and uses the Upload and Manage Files webpage to upload a file. This action also occurs when the user uses the GetUploadURL Web Services operation to upload a file.
Not Listed	Includes all actions not explicitly listed (for example, web service, API, XML, and so on). In the Summary sheet, Not Listed indicates all unlisted versions of iTunes.

Notes:

iTunes U uses a content caching system for some public content available in the iTunes Store. iTunes U reports some user actions routed through the content caching system as “Redirected’ actions.
The Total Track Downloads value is a combination of tracks downloaded for a podcast subscription (SubscriptionEnclosure/SubscriptionRedirectedEnclosure) as well as when a user clicks Get, Get Song, or Get Movie (DownloadTrack/DownloadRedirectedTrack) or Get Track(s) (DownloadTracks/DownloadRedirectedTracks) in iTunes U.
