Plus, you can correlate upload activity with coinciding marketing tactics or programs like live events, an annual report, or a brand campaign.
In the top navigation of your library, click on ‘reports’ to display the first of six new visual data reports available to you in Photoshelter Analytics. this graphic shows the daily uploads report and how to view upload activity for a specific day by selecting a dot on the chart.

This Daily Downloads chart shows exactly how many assets are being downloaded from your digital asset management (DAM) Library, Portal, and Workspaces combined. This report allows you to quantify the download activity of your organizational and external partners. Plus, you can quickly correlate download activity to the timing of specific marketing tactics and programs like pre- and post-event promotion or a new partnership marketing campaign.

3) Most Popular Images Downloaded
The Most Popular Images Downloaded report provides a ranked list of the top three most-downloaded images from all the assets within your Library, Portal, and Workspaces. Consistently assessing what content is downloaded using the Most Popular Images Downloaded report in PhotoShelter Analytics will help you see what visuals resonate with your internal and external audiences. Want a comprehensive list of the most popular assets downloaded from your DAM? You can download a .CSV file of the Top 100 Most Popular Images Downloaded within the past month, 3 months, or year.
The most popular images downloaded report displays a thumbnail of each image, how many times each asset was downloaded, the asset id, and the file name to help you trace assets back to your Photoshelter library with ease.
4) Top 5 Search Terms
The Top 5 Search Terms report shows a ranked list of the keywords your PhotoShelter users are collectively searching for within your Library, Portal, and Workspaces for the past month, three months, or year. If your brand’s keyword list looks drastically different than these Top 5 Search Terms, it’s time to meet your users where they are and update your metadata policy to incorporate these.
In addition to a ranked list of the most popular keywords searched by your Photoshelter account users, the Top 5 search terms report also shows the amount of times each keyword was searched.
5.) Search Activity
The Search Activity report shows the number of searches made across your Library, Portal, and Workspaces. This data helps you demonstrate the value of your DAM by showing how often users search for content. When combined with the Top 5 Search Terms report, you can see which content is most popular with all users, not just those who download or upload files.

Seeing downloads by file type helps you understand which content formats are most in demand. This insight allows you to allocate resources effectively, prioritize the creation of popular file types, and identify gaps in your content library. It ensures you’re meeting user needs and making strategic decisions to enhance your content offerings.
