5.0.1Confluence Server 5.9.1 - 6.5.32017-11-08Built In Reporting has arrived A lot of customers asked us many times, how they can create reports with the Viewtracker Add-on. In the past there were several solutions to resolve this:

Now you can use the Global or Space specific built in reporting. With the reporting you can
- filter by spaces, devices and content type
- take a look into different time ranges and how your content performed over time
- compare spaces based on their views
- see which content is the best or worst performing content in your instance (based on views)

Bug fixes:

Improvements:
To improve the performance and to handle a couple of millions view entries we decided to replace the current Report Table with specific SQL instead of Java side aggregation. This speeds up the table generation.
