The Portlet Views portlet reports the number of portlet uses per portlet. A use is defined as any user activity that causes a request to the server, such as selecting a link or clicking a button. The following sections describe the attributes that you can set to customize the report.
Note: The graphic chart displays a maximum of 25 data points, beginning with the first in time. For example, if you configure settings for a bar chart report for a duration of 3 days and group by hour, your request is for 72 data points; only the first 25 hours are displayed in the bar chart. However, when you export data for the report to Excel, the report includes all 72 data points.
These settings allow you to specify the display format and to select the portlets to appear in the report.

Plumtree Analytics portlets are intended to make usage metrics visible to a limited set of users who perform particular business functions, such as capacity planning, QoS analysis, ROI analysis, "best bet" customization for Search, and the like. Portal administrators should create a special administrative group and manage group membership to ensure only a limited number of users can access the portlets created from the Plumtree Analytics Portlet Templates. Guest users should never be allowed to add Analytics portlets.
For information on creating portlets from portlet templates, see the Administrator Guide for Plumtree Corporate Portal.
