User Activity Report for Confluence helps Confluence admins and team leads answer three questions on a single page:

Who is using Confluence?
How much are they using it?
What do they actually do in it?

It combines a site-wide activity calendar, a per-event-type breakdown, and a per-user activity dialog — all aligned to the viewer's timezone.

Quick Start

Install the app in Confluence.
Open Apps -> Active Users Report (in the Confluence left sidebar).
Wait for normal Confluence activity to be tracked. Freshly installed sites may look empty for a short warm-up period.
Use the Activity Dashboard tab to review site-wide trends and the event-type breakdown.
Use the User Status tab to review individual users and open a user's activity dialog.

Interface at a glance

The app has two tabs at the top:

Tab	Purpose	Detailed guide

Tab	Purpose	Detailed guide
`Activity Dashboard`	Site-wide activity trends + event type breakdown	USER_GUIDE_DASHBOARD.md
`User Status`	Per-user list, filters, CSV export, per-user Activity dialog	USER_GUIDE_USER_STATUS.md

The top-right utility bar is shared by both tabs:

Button	Result

Button	Result
`Refresh`	Reloads live data from the backend
`Documentation`	Opens the documentation page
`Support`	Opens the support portal

Core concepts

Tracked event types

Activity is grouped into ten event types. They are used consistently across the dashboard and the per-user Activity dialog:

Type	What it covers

Type	What it covers
`View`	Viewing pages, blog posts, attachments, or performing a search
`Create`	Creating pages, blog posts, whiteboards, databases, folders, or custom content
`Update`	Editing, moving, copying, reordering, restoring, or updating permissions on content
`Delete`	Deleting, archiving, trashing, or removing content and tasks
`Comment`	Adding, editing, or deleting a comment
`Like`	Liking a page, blog post, or comment
`Attachment`	Uploading, editing, archiving, trashing, or deleting an attachment
`Label`	Creating, adding, removing, or deleting a label
`Space`	Creating, updating, or deleting a space
`Other`	User, group, relation, and other admin operations

Activity vs. engagement

The app reports activity — whether a user produced any tracked event on a given day — not subjective "engagement". The three headline KPIs (Active Days, Longest Streak, Current Streak) are derived strictly from this activity signal.

Data freshness

The app starts showing data once Confluence events are produced after installation.
Freshly installed sites usually need a short warm-up period before the calendar and event type chart fill up.

FAQ (general)

Why is the dashboard empty after installation?

The site hasn't produced enough tracked Confluence events yet. Ask users to work in Confluence normally (view / create / edit / comment a page), wait a minute, then press Refresh.

What counts as activity?

Any of the tracked event types above. Common Confluence actions — viewing, creating, editing, commenting, liking, attachment changes, labeling, deleting — plus space-level changes and administrative operations (Other).
