Analytics for MediaHub - taking requests

[Peter Knight]

Hi 

I think Analytics for MH would be really useful addition for power users. Some of you mentioned you mange thousands of images. Maybe with MH that might be less given the shared image concept. 

I’ll be starting shortly so if you have any requests, just add them here. Phase 1 will be an emphasis on data vs big dashboards etc. 

Metrics we could surface…

# MediaHub Analytics — Metric Ideas

## Asset Inventory & Volume

- Total asset count (all time)
- Asset count by type (image, video, document, audio, etc.)
- Coloured storage usage bar by type (like the iCloud bar)
- Total storage consumed, broken down by type
- Average file size by type
- Largest single assets (top 10)
- Assets exceeding a defined file size threshold

## Usage & Engagement

- Top 1 and top 9 most-used assets (by placement count)
- Assets used on the most pages
- Assets used more than once (vs. unique placements)
- Most-used asset by type (e.g. most-used video)
- Assets referenced in TinyMCE/rich text fields vs. structured fields
- Pages with the most assets total
- Pages with the most images specifically
- Pages with the highest asset variety (mixed types)

## Waste & Orphan Detection

- Unused assets (uploaded but placed nowhere)
- Assets uploaded but never used in a TinyMCE field specifically
- Assets that were used but the page/entry has since been deleted
- Duplicate or near-duplicate filenames
- Assets with no alt text or metadata

## Crops & Transforms

- Images with the most crop variants
- Images with crops defined but never rendered
- Images with no crops defined at all
- Most common crop ratios/dimensions used across the hub

## Age & Freshness

- Recently added (last 7, 30, 90 days)
- Oldest assets in the hub
- Oldest assets that have never been used
- Assets not updated or replaced in over X months
- Upload velocity over time (assets added per week/month)

## Content Quality & Hygiene

- Assets missing required metadata (title, alt text, caption, tags)
- Images below recommended resolution for their usage context
- Assets with broken or missing source files
- Assets with no focal point set (if supported)
- Untagged or uncategorised assets

## People & Process

- Assets uploaded per user/author
- Which users upload the most unused assets
- Upload activity by day of week or time of day
- Most active uploaders in the last 30 days

## Search & Filter Behaviour

- Most searched terms (by frequency)
- Most searched terms with zero results
- Most used filters (type, date, tag, label, etc.)
- Filter combinations used most often together
- Searches that result in no action (user searches but doesn’t select anything)
- Most abandoned searches (searched, filtered, then left)

## Collections & Folders

- Largest collections by asset count
- Largest collections by total storage size
- Most nested / deepest folder structures
- Collections with the most unused assets inside them
- Empty collections (created but never populated)
- Collections that haven’t been updated in over X months
- Most viewed or accessed collections
- Collections with assets shared across the most pages

## Labels (Library / Storage Organisation)

- Asset count per label
- Storage volume per label
- Labels with the most unused assets
- Labels with no assets assigned (orphan labels)
- Most combined labels (which labels appear together most)
- Unlabelled assets (no label assigned at all)

## Tags (Display / Website Facing)

- Most used tags by asset count
- Tags applied to assets that are never actually used on the website
- Assets with the most tags applied
- Untagged assets
- Tags that are never searched or filtered by visitors
- Tag overlap — assets sharing the same tag cluster (useful for spotting redundancy)
- Most used tag per asset type (e.g. most common image tag vs. video tag)

**Other high-value metrics for power users:**

duplicate detection, metadata completeness scoring, upload velocity trends, and per-user waste ratios (who’s uploading assets that never get used). The type of useful info that might surface process problems rather than just content problems.
