OHSU

Analytics

Website analytics is a way to monitor and measure visitor behavior on your website so you can make more informed decisions about what to do. WebTrends is the enterprise analytics software used for all OHSU websites and blogs and is automatically added during website redesigns.

Features of WebTrends

With WebTrends, you can analyze and report on collected visitor behavior data to get the information that you need, including:

  • how many people visit your site
  • which pages on your site are the most popular
  • how your Internet advertising is paying off

How do I get WebTrends for my site?

All Tier I CommonSpot sites have WebTrends installed. The technical owner is most likely the person who has access to the site's profile. All the owner has to do is login and find the profile name that closely matches the name of your site.

Where do I log in?

Usually, the technical owner for the site has access to WebTrends and can log in to the Reporting Center using network credentials. Be sure to bookmark the link:

Reporting Issues with WebTrends

If you have a specific request, such as needing a change to data tracking or problems with accessing the account, or a question, let us know. It may help if you include the email of the login account, the link address of the site and/or the name(s) of the site profile(s) in WebTrends when reporting an issue.

Track Profiles

Do you want to track clinician or research profiles outside your subsite?  No problem.  Just let us know the names of the people you'd like to track, the URLs of their profile pages and which subsite you'd like to track them under.

Learn How to Use WebTrends

We have instructional videos on how to read and setup the WebTrends interface, or dashboard, to help you get to information quickly.

What about Google?

Google provides a free product called Google Analytics that does essentially the same thing as WebTrends. There are reasons that we have selected WebTrends for OHSU's enterprise solution, but you are welcome to install Google on your site in addition to WebTrends.
