Turn view tracking on or off

View tracking records each visit to a page in the reader. The page view analytics use these records. Only Wiki Managers and System Managers can change the setting.

Turn tracking on or off

1. In the app, click Frappe Wiki at the top of the sidebar and click Settings.
2. In General, turn Enable View Tracking on or off.

When tracking is off, the analytics pages show Page views are not being recorded. A Wiki Manager can click Turn on tracking in that message.

When you turn tracking off, the wiki keeps the views it already recorded. The analytics show them, but no new views are added.

What the wiki stores

For each view, the wiki adds a Web Page View record with:

• The path of the page, for example raven/introduction/what-is-raven.
• The referrer: the URL of the previous page, without its query string.
• A visitor ID: a fingerprint of the browser and device, made in the browser.
• The user agent of the browser and the time zone.
• The utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign and utm_content values of the URL, if it has them.

The wiki does not record a view when the browser sends a Do Not Track signal. Only pages in the reader are counted. Pages that you open in the app are not counted.
