The Activity Snapshot widget is only available on Institutional sites. It provides aggregated statistics about all OpenScholar sites owned by an Institution.

The Activity Snapshot widget provides an overview of activity across an institution's collection of OpenScholar sites. It can provide three types of statistics:

• all content
• recently created content
• visitor traffic (based on Google Analytics)

You can mix-and-match these data types to create a Research Dashboard customized for your institution. They can be displayed in any order, and you can add other widgets between them to create a compelling story about research happening at your institution.
