Advanced Analytics in Ftens: Know the Real Impact of Your Galleries 📊

As a professional photographer, creating beautiful galleries is only the beginning. What happens after you share your work? How many people actually view your photos? Which images make the biggest impact? Ftens Advanced Analytics gives you concrete answers with real data to optimize your work and demonstrate value to your clients.

What Are Advanced Analytics?

Ftens Advanced Analytics is a complete tracking system that automatically records every interaction with your galleries. From the moment someone accesses your gallery to when they download a specific photo, every action becomes valuable data for your business.

🎯 Metrics We Actually Track

Our system automatically captures four key event types:

view: Full gallery views
photo_view: Individual photo views
download: Image downloads
share: When your gallery is shared

Each event includes important metadata so you can have more information and control over the data.

Your Analytics Dashboard: Real Data in Real Time

📈 Project Overview

On your main analytics dashboard you'll see:

Total Views: Sum of all gallery views across your project
Total Downloads: How many photos have been downloaded from all your galleries
Shares: Total number of times your galleries have been shared
Conversion Rate: Automatically calculated percentage (Downloads ÷ Views × 100)

📊 Trend Charts

Views per Day (Last 30 days): A bar chart showing daily view trends, perfect for identifying activity spikes after events or social media posts.
