As an Admin I'll likely want to retrieve the list with counts in two cases:

* To satisfy an on-demand query: "What are the portlet names and
counts right now for the last week or month?"
* To retrieve and archive statistics: "What were the portlet names and
counts for February?"

As a non-Admin, I'd likely want to retrieve the list in one case, and
having the counts show is okay:

* To satisfy an on-demand query: "What are the portlet names (counts
okay too) right now for the last week or month?"

I'm not sure what options you have with subflows of the
portlet-manager. I suspect a single portlet would cover both Admins
and non-Admins, even if I had to list the portlet twice with a
different portlet preference/parameter to turn on/off features.

A question I have about the portlet picture attached. It uses paging.
How would I get a complete list in one view to archive the list? Would
it be an Admin feature to get a CSV file, or something? Cut/Paste
would work for me, assuming everything was in one place to snag it.
Would the focused view be a complete list?
