Instructions for updating the analytics page

Pageviews

Data is in the Blog Usage tab in the blog report. Apply the NRRD Blog Users Segment.

Chart is updated in the Pageviews and Formatted Pageviews worksheets in this spreadsheet (limited access).

Add a new column for page views for the month to the Pageviews tab. If there are any new blog posts, they need to be added as a row and you need to figure out what the first week and 2-4th week numbers are based on the post date of the post. Then make sure the chart is updated.

Take a screenshot of the chart and save the file as BlogPageviews.png and upload it to the Analytics folder in the research repo. That will update the chart on the analytics page.

Then copy and past the numbers into the Formatted Pageviews tab. You will need to copy the 1st week and weeks 2-4 numbers for any posts newer than 4 weeks and the entire after 1st 4 weeks column. Then copy the whole table into a markdown table maker and then copy the code from that over the old markdown table.

Referrers

Data is in the Referrers tab in the blog report. Apply the NRRD Blog Users Segment. Add Landing Page as a secondary dimension.

Chart is updated in the Referrers, Referrers Pivot and Referrers Chart worksheets in this spreadsheet (limited access).

Add a new column for referrals for the month to the Referrers tab.

Refresh the pivot table in the Referrers Pivot tab to include the latest data.

Copy and paste content into the Referrers Chart sheet to get it in the right format and update the chart.

Take a screenshot of the chart and save the file as BlogReferrers.png and upload it to the Analytics folder in the research repo. That will update the chart on the analytics page.

Then copy and past the numbers into the Referrers Chart tab and copy that into a markdown table maker and then copy the code from that over the old markdown table.
