Foleon Analytics for self-hosted Docs

Our built-in Foleon Analytics gives you easy access to the most important metrics on your content’s performance. It allows you to analyze how your content performs and collect learnings to improve your next piece of content. This article shows you how to generate an analytics report for self-hosted Docs.

When you self-host your Foleon Docs, it's likely that the status of your Doc is offline because the publishing functions outside of the Foleon platform.

This also means that the Foleon Analytics option is greyed out — meaning you can't click on it. However, your self-hosted Foleon Doc will likely have data you'd like to analyze.

First, open the Doc in the editor to check the Foleon Analytics of your self-hosted Foleon Doc. Next, you need the unique Doc ID, which you can find in the URL in your browser's address bar.

In the example below, the Foleon Doc ID is 203512. Copy this Doc ID.

Next, open a live Foleon Doc, for which you can click on Foleon Analytics. If you don't have a live Foleon Doc, you can always publish one on a (free) Foleon domain.

Once you're in the analytics environment of your live Foleon Doc, replace the unique Doc ID with the one you've saved of your self-hosted Doc.

In the example below, we would replace 170779 in the URL with 203512, making the URL: https://reports.foleon.com/doc/203512.

Click enter to load the page. You should now be able to analyze your Doc data.
