SharePoint Intranets – Suggestion for Site Usage

By Adam Cogan in SharePoint On Premises 0 Comment

I know that Microsoft have recently invested in giving us some stats to help us make our intranet’s better…

I’ve taken a look at https://<Tenant>.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/siteanalytics.aspx?view=19 and I can see Site/Hub Usage stats on our Site Collection.

However, there are a few things that could be improved:

1. Sync top & bottom widgets – Popular content is locked to 7 days,  it should be in sync with the top selector

Figure: The filters should be in sync (I.e. when you change the top one, the bottom one should change

2. Hub Usage only allows 7 or 30 days – inconsistently the Site Usage allows 7, 30, or 90 days in the timespan selector

3. Missing the users – We should have a widget to see the most active users (we do have widgets to see sites, pages, news, documents… why not users?)

Figure: In Documents – I can see a file name but it would be good to know it’s location

4. Documents – (see bottom right widget) It would be useful to know where the documents are from (i.e. which Site Collection/Site/Library). This could be a card on hover or simply an extra column in the widget.

Help me see the status messages

Sometimes you see a message like this:

3 or more members are out of the office or have a status message

Unfortunately it is not immediately obvious where to read them. 

Currently you can open the top-right-hand pane, then from there hover over the people’s icons and see their status.

I have a suggestion that could remove this papercut by adding a button called “View” straight from the message we see.

Figure: “View” link opens panel

Let me know my account doesn’t have access instead of a 404

Trying to access some photos on Google Photos as per Do you manage your photos? but I’ve got a 404:

Figure: The photos existed but the message tells me otherwise

We later realized I was using a wrong account (login).

At first, I didn’t even think about changing accounts because I got a 404. Instead, we would expect to see a message like:

You have no permissions to see these photos.
