Dear list,
It seems that the "file visits" section in the XMLUI Usage Statistics
takes visits into account that were done before(!) an ITEM was approved
for entry into the archive. (DSpace 5.5, Mirage2).
This can lead to empty entries when files were substituted during the
workflow. Example:
The empty entries stand for the names of the files that were opened
during the workflow, and substituted by the user after his submission
was rejected.
Do you agree that file visits should be counted from the point when the
item is accepted into the archive? Otherwise this would mean a lot of
empty entries when items are regularly rejected and its files
substituted. These entries unfortunately don't have a meaning to users
who visit the Usage Statistics Page.
Another matter is how to deal with files who are deleted at a later
stage, after the approval of the item. At the moment DSpace displays an
empty entry for deleted files too. In this second case it could make
sense to keep track of the deleted file, because it used to be public.
Some meaning could be added to help users understand the usage
statistics better, e.g. [deprecated file].
I am looking forward to your views on this.
Best regards,
Franziska Ackermann
