Analytics FAQs: Primo VE Facet Usage

How can I get data on Primo VE facet usage?

CASG has created shared reports for the resource type facet (especially helpful for the e-book/print books facet usage question) and the Availability facet (the “Top Level” facet in Primo terminology). You can find these reports in the shared folder for Primo Analytics, at these paths:

/Shared Folders/Primo Community/Reports/Orbis Cascade Alliance/Systems/Central Analytics Standing Group/Resource Type Facet Usage
/Shared Folders/Primo Community/Reports/Orbis Cascade Alliance/Systems/Central Analytics Standing Group/Availability Facet Usage
/Shared Folders/Primo Community/Reports/Orbis Cascade Alliance/Systems/Central Analytics Standing Group/Resource Type Facet Usage Dashboard

The reports show counts of usage of the named facet types (resource type, availability) by calendar year.

The dashboard shows use of each facet type as a percentage of overall facet usage for a calendar year and allows you to filter out use numbers below a certain threshold, as this can helps reduce some of the noise in the results that may come from barely-used facets.
