Where do I find the activity report for LinkClick.aspx? I don't see it in the DNN Site Log reports. Thanks.

If you are using the Links module, click the edit pencil next to the link in question.  You'll find the summary at the bottom of that page.

If you are tracking links in the HTML module, you will need to edit content and highlight the link.  Then, clicking the link tool will pop up a window that has a tab with the tracking information.

Hi Joe,

I'm using the HTML module for the text links. I found the pop up window, but there isn't a summary tab (or tracking information tab). Please see attached link_summary.PNG. Is that where the tracking report would be?

Thanks,
Sarah

From what I have found, DNN does not have reporting built in that shows overall click activity. Without a custom made module, I've had to export the database table "UrlTracking" to mine the link click data.

I must admit that I really don't use this feature.  I think that it's better to use Google Analytics.

But, I think I also answered the question incorrectly.  It looks like that link tracking thing is present only with the RAD editor.  Without it, you may have to resort to the URLTracking table.  Perhaps you can use the Reports module here.  Or, a nice alternative is SGSV from tressleworks.ca.  I find it a quite useful module for doing reporting.
