Understanding Standard View Metrics in Viva Engage

Learn the fundamental principles of how Viva Engage tracks post views across different devices and browsers.

In Viva Engage, a view is fundamentally counted when a post is displayed on the user's screen. The specific browser, operating system, or device type does not alter this basic measurement.

Access Analytics

Log into your Viva Engage dashboard and navigate to the specific post or community you want to analyze.

View Post Engagement

Click on the Analytics icon (typically represented by a bar chart) to view the engagement metrics for your posts.

Check the Views Metric

Locate the 'Views' metric, which indicates the total number of times the post appeared on users' screens.

Web Part Visibility: For posts embedded in web parts located lower on a page (below the fold), a view is generally intended to count only when the user scrolls down and the post enters the visible display area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a view count if the user quickly scrolls past the Viva Engage post?

Yes, typically any instance where the post enters the visible screen area registers as a view in the metrics, regardless of the duration it stays on the screen.

Can I track unique viewers versus total views in Viva Engage?

Yes, Viva Engage Analytics provides detailed metrics for both total views (every time the post is displayed) and unique viewers (the number of distinct users who saw the post).

Why are the view counts on my embedded web part lower than my total intranet page visits?

If your Viva Engage web part is located lower on the page, users who visit the page but do not scroll down far enough to see the web part will not trigger a view for those specific posts.
