Hi all,
Is it possible to extract a user Feature Usage data, PageView Data and Device Usage/used from Canvas Data 2?
I'm fairly new to data analytics and have been scouring the tables from CD2 but unfortunatly thus far I've not really found and tables which would relate to this sort of data.
I see in the Canvas Live API this:
/V1/users/{user_id}/page_views
which I believe would return which device a user used for a pageview and possibly feature usage.
Is there something like this within the CD2 tables or is it something I'll have to query the API separately for?
I know this data exists in the Canvas Data analytics but I'd like to have more control over the data and how we process it further.
Cheers,
Luke
Hello
In Canvas Data 2 there is the web_logs dataset which returns all logged views by a user on a page in your Canvas instance. You should be able to use this to calculate page views for a specific user.
This is a long way round but you should be able to use this to produce similar data to the screenshot.
Hopefully that helps.
Stupid question. I am dipping my toes into the database files for Canvas 2 at my institution. Is the png you shared from the front end of the data analytics page within Canvas or was that built in some data viz software?
