2023 Review of the bitvoodoo app team

Before the bitvoodoo app team enjoys their much-deserved Christmas and New Year break, let us take a step back and review what kept the team busy in 2023.

⌚️ We value our readers’ time. We didn’t include smaller improvements and changes in this list. Whenever possible, we link to relevant blog posts and documentation pages for the full picture.

Viewtracker – Analytics for Confluence

With Viewtracker being our most popular app with almost 3000 installs, the bitvoodoo app team continuously adds new features and capabilities for its Cloud and Data Center users.

📊 More Confluence usage insights:

• Easy access to different Viewtracker reports with cross-links and breadcrumb navigation
• Share (filtered) reports with stakeholders
• Decide which metrics to display in the graph and choose the type of graph (bar, line, area)
• Access the list of pages with which a specific user has interacted
  
  

🔗 New Confluence URL Reports on Cloud and Data Center:

• Track dashboards, team pages, calendars, etc.
• Track content from 3rd-party apps like Linchpin, Refined, Cosmos, etc.
  
  

🛠️ New Instance Report for Confluence Administrators, including, among others:

• Number of users, spaces and content (pages and attachments) at a glance
• Development of attachment storage over time
• Active vs. inactive users and spaces
• Heatmap of activity in Confluence
• Extra on Viewtracker Cloud: Carry out a content synchronization to display spaces, pages and attachments without any views
  
  

📝 New integration to track views from K15t’s Scroll Viewport on Viewtracker Cloud (Viewtracker Data Center users already have this integration)

📥 Import existing views from Confluence’s built-in analytics in Viewtracker Data Center (importing views from other Data Center instances was already possible in the past)
