Using the Primo Action Usage subject area, you can create reports that help to answer the following types of business questions:

How many times did users invoke a certain action in Primo (such as basic versus advanced searches)?
How often were users signed-in when they invoked a certain action?
On average how many times are specific actions invoked in a single session?

The Primo Action Usage subject area contains many fields used to create reports associated with usage. Refer to the following sections for more information on each field.

Primo Action Usage Fields

Because Analytics data is aggregated daily based on the UTC time zone, yesterday's data for your library may only contain a partial reporting and may require an additional day to see its full reporting.
Some actions such as filtering by facets or by resource types in the Resource Type Filter Bar may also be triggered by deep links and may not be invoked directly by users.

Action Usage Table

The Action Usage table is the fact table that stores information about the actions taken by end users in Primo.

Action Usage

The following table lists the fields provided by the Action Usage fact table:

Action Usage Fact Table
Field	Description
Actions	A measurement field that tracks the number of times an action was taken.
Sessions	A measurement field that tracks the number of sessions in which an action was taken. Sessions are counted only one per action. For example, if the user ran two searches in the same session – the session is only counted once. Note that if you total the number of sessions in the Actions table, the total is greater than the number of sessions for the same period in the Sessions table – since the same session is counted more than once.
Signed-in	A measurement field that tracks the number of times an action was taken from a user who was signed-in.
On Campus	A measurement field that tracks the number of times an action was taken from a user who was on campus. This field is available with the November 2015 release. Primo users are considered on-campus if they are within the defined IP range for the institution. For more details, see Configuring IP Ranges for a Library.
First Page Results - Primo	A measurement field that tracks the average percentage of local Primo records that appear on the first page of search results. This field is available with the November 2015 release.
First Page Results - CDI	A measurement field that tracks the average percentage of CDI records that display on the first page of search results. This field is available with the November 2015 release.
First Page Results - EBSCO	A measurement field that tracks the average percentage of EBSCO records that display on the first page of search results (using the EBSCO deep search adaptor). This field is available with the November 2015 release.
First Page Results - WorldCat	A measurement field that tracks the average percentage of WorldCat records that appear on the first page of search results (using the WorldCat deep search adaptor). This field is available with the November 2015 release.
First Page Results - Other	A measurement field that tracks the average percentage of records from other sources (such as locally-defined deep search adaptors or MetaLib) that appear on the first page of search results. This field is available with the November 2015 release.
Primo View	An attribute field that stores the view in which the action was performed. This attribute is available with the July 2015 release. Actions that predate this release do not have this attribute.
Active Tab	An attribute field that stores the tab in which the following search actions were performed: basic search, basic search with pre-filters, and advanced search. This attribute is available with the November 2015 release. Actions that predate this release do not have this attribute.
Search Scope Type	A search attribute field that indicates which type of search scope was used in the search. A search scope type is provided for search and results list actions. For all other actions, the search scope type has a null value. The Search scope type has the following values: Local – A search performed on the local repository. For example, it will not include articles from CDI. Some libraries may have a separate tab in Primo that is dedicated to searching the local repository. For example, they may call it University collections. Blended – Any search that includes records from both the local repository and the deep search adaptors (such as CDI). For example, some libraries may have one tab in Primo that is used to search all sources. Remote – Any search that includes MetaLib. The search includes MetaLib and may include any of the following repositories: local and deep search adaptors (such as CDI). CDI/Deep Search – A search that includes only deep search adaptors (such as CDI and EBSCO). For example, some libraries may have a separate tab in Primo called Articles that does not include the local and remote repositories. The Search Scope Type has been added in the July 2015 release. Actions that predate the installation of this release do not have this attribute.
New UI	A search attribute field that indicates whether the new UI was used in the search. The valid values are Yes or No.
User Group	A search attribute field that indicates the user group of the user. New UI: Reports display the User Group codes that were received from the authentication system, not the mapping table used for the Classic UI. For users who have not signed in, the report displays the Guest user group. Classic UI: The User Groups for Primo Analytics mapping table defines the user groups that display in the reports. A user's group is determined as follows: If a user has signed in and belongs to a user group, the system will try to map the user group to one of eight user groups defined in the User Groups for Primo Analytics mapping table. If a match is not found, the Not Guest user group is used. If a user has signed in and does not belong to a user group, the Not Guest user group is used. If the user has not signed in, the Guest user group is used. For more details, see User Groups for Primo Analytics. This attribute has been added in the May 2016 release. Actions that predate the installation of this release do not have this attribute. User Group values may be affected by browser add-ons and extensions, such as the extension Ghostery in Chrome.
Referrer	A search attribute field that contains the referrer information (such as Google Scholar, Yahoo, and Primo), which indicates how users are accessing information from the Primo Front End. This attribute has been added in the May 2016 release. Actions that predate the installation of this release do not have this attribute.
