I have a technical question regarding how Omiscope reads a image link to display on the details view, all the images are added as a http link using another field to direct to the code of the image. Does Omniscope then load up the image similarly to when someone hits a webpage?
The reason for this is because I've received a request by a client who would like to monitor the usage of a report by how many images they look at in the details view. I was hoping that I could perhaps use google analytics to monitor the webpage hits of the image site and that each time a detail view loads up that it would count as a visit.
Alternatively but I think a more far fetched idea is whether there is a way to "monitor" the number of times the detail view has been triggered in the software, perhaps expanding into logging the actions of which tab is opened.
The best solution is to have a 1x1 pixel transparent image hosted on a server which tracks analytics.
You could track the use of a file in general using the Content View, inserting this 1x1 image using the Image option "Web-based image". Or, you could track which records the user had viewed in the Details view using an image set configured to hit an analytics server with an HTTP parameter identifying the record, which serves up a transparent 1x1 image.
